Parenting Together

Without Guilt, Shame, or a $300 Spa Day

Taking time for yourself as a parent can feel impossible. And when you do get a minute? You’re probably too tired to know what to do with it. Or you feel guilty. Or someone needs something again.

I get it.
Because I live it.

One of the most powerful things I’ve learned as a Certified Peer Specialist—and one of my favorite parts of the job—is showing other parents and caregivers that self-care doesn’t have to be expensive, time-consuming, or cringe. It doesn’t need to be a face mask and a bath (unless that’s your thing). It doesn’t require a perfect schedule or a quiet house or someone else to give you permission.

Sometimes, it’s just… sitting in the car a little longer before going inside.
No noise. No requests. Just breath. Just stillness. Just you.

If that sounds like your version of self-care too, I want you to know:
You are not alone—and this workshop is for you.

☕ Reclaiming Self-Care (Without Making It Another Job)

For many of us—especially those who grew up putting everyone else first—learning to take care of ourselves at all can feel uncomfortable. Even wrong.
And if you’ve been surviving in crisis mode for a long time, self-care might feel awkward, unnatural, or even exhausting. That’s okay.

But it shouldn’t feel draining. It shouldn’t become another thing on your to-do list. It shouldn’t leave you feeling worse.

That’s why in this upcoming workshop, we’re going to talk about:

• What real self-care actually looks like (it’s not what Instagram says)
• Why “just take care of yourself” is one of the most harmful things people say to parents
• How to find self-care that truly fits you and expands your capacity, not drains it
• How to build small, sustainable moments of support into your day—even if you don’t have time to shower

We’re not going to fix everything in one session.
But we are going to start filling your cup back up.

Not with guilt. Not with pressure.
But with something real, something light, something yours.

If you’re a parent or caregiver who’s ever felt like there’s nothing left for you…
I hope you’ll join me.
You deserve this. 💛
