When Everything Is Too Much (and you still have to parent.)

It’s that time of year again.

The calendar is full.

The lunches, costumes, carpools, recitals, teacher gifts, permission slips, and “just one more thing” requests are overflowing.

And here you are—trying to parent through it all.

If you're exhausted, short-fused, or feeling like your house might just collapse into a pile of laundry and granola bar wrappers... I want you to know: you are not alone.
This season is a lot. It’s okay to say that out loud.

Here’s what I need you to hear today:

You can’t do it all and parent with deep presence and calm unless you loosen your grip.
Not on your kids—on your schedule. On your expectations. On perfection.

This is your permission slip to:

• Let the dishes sit.

• Say “no” to one more extra thing.

• Serve cereal for dinner and call it “creative.”

• Leave a school email unopened for a day.

Patience isn’t about white-knuckling your way through overwhelm.
It’s about pausing long enough to choose how you show up, even if you’re showing up tired.

So ask yourself:

• What actually matters this month?

• What can be simplified or softened?

• Who can you ask for help?

Parenting in May/June is less about thriving and more about gentle triage.
You are doing beautifully in an impossible moment.

With you in this,

Coach Jenn 💛
