No one warned you that life as a parent was so FULL ON!
You knew about the sleep deprivation during the newborn stage. You knew about the 'Terrible Twos'. You even knew that teenagers were hard work. But no one warned you that juggling parenting, work, the house, friendships, your relationship, and all the other million demands on your time, would be so hard.
No, they sure kept that part quiet.
Before having children you laughed at the Mombie comments.
"It really can't be that hard," you thought.
"I'll be able to do it all," you thought.
Yummy Mummy. That was so going to be you.
Then children happened, and reality is VERY different from what you imagined. Actually, you couldn't have imaged this.
The house is impossible to keep tidy, never mind clean.
Mount Washmore is harder to conquer than Mount Everest.
Mum and Dad taxi is never out of business.
The children seem to tag team you - if it's not one who is upset, it's another.
You spend more time being a referee than having fun with the kids.
Overwhelmed, stressed and frazzled is your normal these days.
You feel drained and have no energy to do anything.
You want to be a calm parent, but keep finding yourself quick to react and getting frustrated and angry.
You're not the parent want to be.
You have zero time for yourself.
Heck, if you're being honest, sometimes you don't even know who you are anymore.
You can change of all of this, and fast!
This might upset you, but it's meant to empower you and make you feel all "Heehaw, let's do this!" (okay, if you're not into country music maybe you won't be heehawing with me here). Feeling that life is a struggle, is a choice. Feeling overwhelmed, is a choice. Feeling hard done by, is a choice.
Feeling anything is a choice.
You see feelings are signals from your body that are created from your thoughts. And your thoughts are created by your beliefs, values and experiences. Your thoughts happen when you experience different situations. While you might not have control over every situation in your life, you do have control over some things. You also have control over your thoughts and feelings once you know how to get control of them.
If you're like my clients, you're likely to be the glue that holds everything together. If you aren't feeling your best, your family life is likely not the best it could be. The cool thing is that when you take the brave step to do things differently, awesome things start to happen! You feel better, life starts being less chaotic and stressful, you feel more in control and confident, and your family life becomes calmer, happier and more fun! The children even start to listen to you more, they do what you ask them more, and you get to enjoy time with them.
Introducing ... Frazzled No More
A 4-week program for overwhelmed, stressed and frazzled parents who want to take control of their lives so that they have more energy, feel better in themselves, and can parent from a calmer place (instead of turning into Shouty Parent).
The program will help you...
- Know how to catch your feelings of overwhelm and stress and get yourself out from the Frazzle Cycle
- Manage your busy life in a way that makes you feel good instead of drained and overstretched
- Create a REALISTIC self-care practice that fits into your life, restores your energy and helps you create a you that makes you happy
- Have more time and energy to have fun and be with the people you love - your kids, friends, partners, etc.
- Parent from a place of calm instead of intense emotions (e.g. stress, worry, fear, anger)
Tell me more...
This isn't your typical program where you watch lots of lessons and you're left on your own trying to figure out how to do it. It's super hands on and practical.
- Over the 4 weeks there will be 1 lesson a week, delivered live via Zoom. If you can't make it live, don't worry. You'll get the recordings, and you have lifetime access to the Program (just so we're clear, lifetime means as long as I'm alive and I have somewhere to host the content).
- There's a private Facebook group just for Frazzled No More members. This is where you'll get support from me outside the live lessons. As I said, this is a very practical and hands on Program and I'm there to help you. The group will also be a place to get support from your fellow Program members, a small group of like-minded parents. Parenting was never meant to be done alone. Now, you won't be alone. (You can find the group rules HERE)
- You'll receive all the worksheets and resources you need to get the best out of this Program. I'll make it as easy as possible for you to do the tasks and activities because I know you're busy, overwhelmed and time isn't something you have lots of.
We officially start Tuesday 19th April 2022, but the Facebook group will open on Monday 11th April. This is so you have time to settle in before we start.
Awesome! How much?
Frazzled No More is brand new. You get to be one of the first parents to take part. How fab is that? It means you can help me make it even more awesome just by taking part and giving me feedback. For that, you get to enroll in the Program for half price! Yes, 50% off as a thank you for being one of the first parents taking part.
Frazzled No More is £222, but as a thank you, you can take part for ONLY£111 (or two monthly payments of £56).
I'm limiting the number of parents who can join to 15. That way I can tailor this Program to meet the needs of all the members and give everyone the attention they deserve. The Program will meet you where you're at and help your grow to be where you want to be. How many Programs do that?
Sounds great, but...
