Let's be real. Parenting is a wild ride. No book or site has it exactly right—in fact, the right answers live within you. Embracing our real, messy, imperfect selves not only supports our well-being but also holds the key to being better people. As we carve out space for ourselves, we discover mental clarity, inner empowerment, and the ability to advocate actively. The beauty of it lies in gaining more capacity to offer compassion to our kids. By modelling kindness, care, and love towards ourselves, we show our children how they can do the same for themselves.
