The JB Five

Love, my friends, is the heartbeat of everything. It’s not just an emotion—it’s the foundation of our lives, the reason we push ourselves, the reason we stand up when life knocks us down. But it’s also complicated, layered, and sometimes difficult to navigate. 

In this episode, I want to dive into the power of showing up – not just being present in the physical sense, but showing up emotionally, mentally, and in every way that matters to a child. It’s an important discussion because the truth is, the impact you have as a parent — positive or negative — can shape a child’s entire future. 

As a dad, I’ve found myself struggling, especially in the beginning, with understanding my role in this parenting journey. There are moments when I feel hopeless and useless. We often hear about “mum guilt,” but I believe dad guilt is just as real. 

This question haunted me, rocking my baby back to sleep. As a parent, you experience so many stages of uncertainty. There’s this constant feeling of “am I doing this right?” and “how much longer will this last?” It’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day and wonder if it will ever stop, if there’s a point when you can sit back and say, “Okay, I’ve done my part.” 

It’s one of those ideas that’s always hanging over us, but for many of us, it’s only after becoming parents that we really feel the weight of it. Let's dive into the ups and downs of work / life balance and how it affects us as parents.

Taking the first steps can feel overwhelming. You might wonder if you are doing things right, if it’s even going to work and your brain may even be trying to talk you out of getting started! Lucky for you because this episode will lay out the basics you need to know. I want to help you take those first few steps in a way that’s fun, empowering, and EFFECTIVE!

Sleep is critically important to your health, though for some of us, it is in short supply. Many of us don’t get nearly enough shuteye and try to push through the day despite feeling exhausted. Although sometimes feeling tired is a fact of life, if it's regular it can wreak havoc on your body.

We will breakdown how to make your chosen HABITS as easy as possible. How to prepare for slipups, how to reward yourself and also learn one really simple process that makes keeping HABITS SO EASY. See you then.
