What could it be?

Episode 24 - Parental Stress
Welcome to Episode 24 of the podcast!
This week, we’re diving deep into parental stress and how it impacts our mental health and family dynamics. In this special episode, I'll reflect on my own journey as a parent. This year marks my 10th anniversary of motherhood—and I've been celebrating it all year long! We're also going to discuss some of the common challenges we parents face, how important "the village" is to our families, and the recent Advisory put out by the US Surgeon General on Parental Stress.
Supporting parental mental health isn’t just "nice" to do—it’s essential for the health and wellbeing of our entire society. You can be a part of the solution by offering support to the parents in your life. Parental stress is real, but it’s not just a personal issue—it’s a public health concern. Support networks and community involvement are vital for parents’ mental health. Workplaces, policies, and open discussions can play a role in easing the stress burden on parents. And, parents, it’s okay to ask for help! It's not a sign of failure, it's a sign of strength!
