Adjusting Our Capacity for Family, Work, and Self-Care

How are you holding up out there, parents? Laura and I have been chatting lately about how our parenting has been affected by everything going on with COVID-19, our reshuffled work routines, and our increased family time at home. As parents we are facing some big challenges, but I know that we are capable of meeting them. It takes some creativity and some self-compassion, but we are absolutely capable of moving through this time with our families. 

In this episode Laura and I are discussing how our capacity has changed as the world around us has shifted. We talk about the ways we’re asking our families to band together, why women can’t shoulder the burden of work and family by themselves, and what roles we are letting go of as parents. 

We also chat about how to release the pressure and how to continue to carve out little pockets of time for yourself. And we discuss letting our kids process their emotions about everything going on, too.

You’re doing great, parents – we see you, we hear you, and we feel you! <3
