Overcoming Obstacles as a Working Parent

Parenting is HARD with a capital H. We live in a culture where working parents are expected to parent like they don’t have a job and work like they don’t have kids. This pressure is unreasonable and leads to anxiety, shame, resentment, and depression! This book will allow you to see parenting in a different light and empower you to live a more fulfilling and mindful life.
Parenting takes a level of sustained energy from the parent that seems (and often is) unrealistic. The toll that this can take on the body and psyche are no joke. I will help you dive deeper than books of typical parenting tips and help you to improve your functioning as an adult. I will show you how changing your habits and building your values-based identity can elevate your parenting through leading by example.
I cannot emphasize enough how much the ideas in this book have enhanced my life, my relationships, and my parenting. It is my hope that you will come away from this book with an increased sense of joy and effectiveness in your life as a working parent. Applying the strategies I shared will not be easy; change requires energy and effort that you may struggle to find at times. I tell you with full confidence though, that applying the ideas shared here may cost you time and energy on the front end but will pay dividends over the coming years of your life!
