Parenting Through the Chaos: When the Whole Family Gets Sick

As a working parent, you’re already balancing a lot—school drop-offs, therapy appointments, work commitments, grocery runs, and the never-ending laundry pile.

Then someone starts sniffling.And just like that, everything wobbles.

Sick kids mean broken routines, sleepless nights, rearranged calendars, and feeling torn between caring for your family and showing up for work. And if you get sick too? Well, the juggle turns into full-blown survival mode.

In those moments, it’s easy to fall into self-judgement:

• “I’m behind on everything.”

• “I yelled again.”

• “We’ve eaten toast for dinner three nights in a row.”

Let me gently remind you: this is not a failure.

This is life.

Parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.

It’s about doing your best with what you have—sometimes that’s big energy and structured days; other times, it’s cuddles on the couch and hoping everyone naps at the same time.

When the house is messy, the inbox is full, and someone has a fever, you are still enough.

You’re showing up.

You’re caring.

You’re surviving.

And that matters more than a perfectly packed lunchbox or a tidy to-do list.

Want support to parent with more confidence and calm—even on the messy days?

I’m running a Parenting on Purpose Masterclass this November:

A down-to-earth, evidence-informed workshop to help you:

✅ Understand what your child really needs (especially when they’re struggling)

✅ Let go of unrealistic expectations

✅ Create calmer, more connected routines

✅ Stay anchored in your values—even when everything feels chaotic

Whether your child is neurodivergent, has experienced trauma, or you’re simply doing your best every day, this masterclass is for you.

🗓️ Coming November 2025 – limited spots available.
