Ep 93 | Breaking Free from Parenting Burnout with Marissa McKool
Manage episode 451036470 series 3518214
Balancing parenthood with work and life demands a lot of our mental energy, which can end up leaving us feeling completely mentally depleted. If you’re stuck in a place of negative emotions––feeling constant exhaustion, anger, or resentment––you may feel like you are trying to function with an empty tank. Your stress might feel chronic and inescapable. Can you relate?
If you are nodding and thinking 'yes, that’s me!', it may be burnout that you’re experiencing. It’s not a great place to be, but there is a way out.
In this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, I’ve invited Marissa McCool to join the conversation. Marissa is a renowned burnout coach, specializing in helping female leaders and mid-career professionals manage work stress and achieve work-life balance. Marissa shares her personal journey overcoming burnout and offers practical strategies for processing emotions, setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care.
For parents who are juggling the stress of parenting alongside anything else that life throws at you, you’ll find some really valuable tidbits in this conversation. Marissa and I highlight the connections between chronic stress, burnout, and its impacts on personal and professional relationships. Marissa also shares the signs of burnout and how to recognize if you are in burnout or you’re just tired.
We also both strongly believe seeking support is SO important to crawling out of burnout and finding a healthier balance. We cannot do this alone. This episode is a great place to start, so share it with another exhausted, possibly burnt-out, parent.
If you need more support, reach out! Marissa and I would both love to support you.
