Identifying Teen Parent Burnout and the One Strategy to Break Free

In this inaugural episode, Enda Gilbert, your host and award-winning Parenting and Burnout Coach, tackles the hidden crisis of Teen Parent Burnout—a phenomenon rarely discussed but widely experienced. 

After witnessing countless heart-breaking struggles and breakthrough moments in her roles as mediator, mentor, and coach, Teen Parent Burnout became the driving force behind creating this podcast. Bringing these often-silenced challenges to light can help parents realise they're not alone on this journey. 

Drawing from three decades of experience working with families, this episode:

• Reveals the unique signs of burnout specific to parenting teenagers
• Explains why teen parent burnout differs from early childhood exhaustion
• Breaks down the "mental chess game" that creates an invisible load
• Offers practical, immediately applicable strategies to lighten this burden

Listen as we explore:

• The physical and emotional symptoms most parents don't recognise
• Why traditional self-care advice often falls short for parents of teens
• Cultural dimensions that can intensify burnout
• How to shift from power struggles to power-sharing

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by your teen's push for independence or want to strengthen your connection without sacrificing your well-being, this episode provides a judgment-free sanctuary and a clear path forward.

Discover actionable steps to transform your relationship with your teen while preventing burnout because the teen years shouldn't drain your soul.
