Parenting often feels like one of the most rewarding yet unrelenting journeys. There’s no clocking out, even after major milestones are achieved. In this episode, Seth joins me to explore what it means to keep showing up as a parent, even when the work feels never-ending.
I reflect on how my son has grown far beyond his time as “my wilderness kid.” Yet, just the other day, we shared an interaction that reminded me our journey is still ongoing. It’s a process of meeting each other with empathy, compassion, and an awareness of how our fight, flight, and freeze patterns still show up.
It’s natural to wonder, “When can I take a break from this?” But the truth is, growth as a parent and as a family doesn’t have a finish line. The good news? It’s in this ongoing process that deeper connections and resilience are built.
If you’ve ever felt stretched thin by the demands of parenting, this episode is a reminder that your efforts matter. Small, consistent steps and moments of grace create lasting progress, strengthening the bond between you and your child along the way.
In this episode on whether your work as a parent is ever really done, we discuss:
- Why the ongoing work of parenting and personal growth is as much about the journey as the destination;
- How to hold boundaries that are firm yet adaptable, because parenting is as human as it gets;
- How to recognize and resist falling back into old habits when the “dark wolf” of self-doubt or fatigue creeps in;
- What it means to keep showing up and do our work as a parent, even when we feel tired or reach a goal;
- And more.
