Parental burnout? What to do before you lose it
Sometimes, parents and caregivers can feel overwhelmed or burned out. Caring for children can feel exhausting and add up without us even realizing it. What’s a parent to do? In this episode of “In It,” we talk with Dr. Nekeshia Hammond. Hammond is a psychologist, executive function coach, and motivational speaker. She specializes in helping people navigate burnout and exhaustion, as well as how to build resiliency. During our conversation, Nekeshia shows us ways to answer the following questions: - How am I doing? - What do I need? - What steps can I take today to make some improvements in my life? She also talks about the importance of finding support you can lean on and understanding that you, as a parent or caregiver, don’t have to do everything.
