Why Parents NEED to Prioritize Self-Care | Episode 30 with Lauren and Jessica

Self-care isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity, especially for parents. We dive into the real impact of burnout and why taking time for ourselves is critical. Jessica just returned from Canyon Ranch, a wellness retreat where she tackled deep trauma, faced her fear of heights through rock climbing, and explored alternative healing like acupuncture. We break down how stress manifests in the body and why traditional talk therapy isn’t always enough. Too often, parents push through exhaustion without realizing the toll it takes. We discuss why immersive self-care—whether it’s a retreat, a nature escape, or something as simple as hiking alone—makes a lasting difference. Prioritizing mental and physical health isn’t selfish, it’s essential. Let’s talk about how we can truly reset and show up stronger in our lives. Join hosts Jessica Eisenstat, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and Dr. Lauren LaRose, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, as they dive into raw and real conversations about all things kids. These two moms, who also happen to be mental health professionals, bring humor, debate, and a hefty dose of mom realness to every episode. From tackling children’s mental health to the daily chaos of parenting, nothing is off-limits.
