EP:138 Hey there! I just finished watching the Netflix series "Adolescence" and WOW, do I have some thoughts to share!   In this episode, I'm breaking down why this series is creating such a buzz and why I believe we're facing a PARENTING crisis, not just a boy crisis. I'm getting real about the importance of practical parenting - balancing boundaries with love and connection. Key Takeaways: Devices and unlimited freedom are NOT the answer Your kids NEED structure (they actually want it!) Boundaries aren't about controlling, they're about protecting My personal story hits home - with a 50% higher risk of depression in my family, I can't afford to get parenting wrong. This isn't about being perfect, it's about being intentional. #PracticalParenting #ParentingTips #RaisingResilientKids Feeling overwhelmed? Struggling with your child's behavior?

EP:134 Hey there, amazing humans!  In this raw and real podcast episode, I'm diving deep into something that's been brewing in my heart - the battle between supporting everyone else and supporting YOURSELF.   I'm sharing my personal journey from being a people-pleaser to becoming the most authentic version of Brooke possible. Trust me, it wasn't easy! I've lived both sides - sacrificing myself for others and then finally choosing ME. And let me tell you, the liberation is REAL. Putting others first doesn't make you a hero, it makes you exhausted Your mental health matters MORE than making everyone comfortable Being yourself isn't selfish - it's NECESSARY My biggest revelation? When I stopped trying to fit into everyone else's box, I found MY power. After Jonathan's passing, I realized life is too short to live for others.

Whether you're a high-performer who loves last-minute adrenaline or a parent feeling constantly overwhelmed, I've been there! I used to think thriving meant constant hustle and pushing myself to the limit. But what I've learned is that true thriving is about balance, self-care, and listening to your body. Key Takeaways: ✨ Recognize your energy patterns ✨ Set boundaries ✨ Prioritize REST ✨ Choose yourself FIRST My biggest lesson? You are the most important person in your life. When you take care of yourself, EVERYTHING else falls into place. 🚀 Challenge for you: This week, do ONE thing just for YOU. Skip a task, take a nap, say NO to something that drains you. #ThriveNotSurvive #SelfCareSunday #MomLife #EntrepreneurMindset #mentalhealthmatters  👉 Want to learn more about breaking the burnout cycle?

EP:132 As a former "raging people pleaser", I know firsthand how exhausting it can be to constantly put others' needs before your own. I used to do everything for everyone, to the point where I was absolutely drowning. I'd say yes to things I had no time or energy for, shy away from difficult conversations, and never accept help - all in the pursuit of being the "perfect" mom, wife, friend, and professional. But I've learned that your purpose in life isn't to serve others - it's to live and enjoy your life fully, on your own terms. It takes courage to stop being a chameleon and start being your authentic self. I had to shed a lot of old relationships and communities that didn't accept the real me. But surrounding myself with my "people" - those who love and support me unconditionally - has been so freeing. Now I use my values as a compass, being honest about what I want and need, even if it means setting boundaries that ruffle some feathers. I've realized that being honest and assertive isn't the same as being unkind or selfish. It's about having the courage to show up as your true self. Overcoming people-pleasing isn't easy, but it's so worth it for your mental health and personal fulfillment. Start small, be patient with yourself, and remember - you are worthy, even if it means ruffling a few feathers. 🦋 Links & Resources: 📘 Check out more episodes of Thrive Like a Parent - https://drbrookeweinstein.com/thrive-podcast/ 📸 Follow Dr. B on Instagram -   https://bit.ly/48VZI5e   🌐 Visit our website for more resources on self-care and well-being - https://drbrookeweinstein.com #PeoplePleasingFree #FindYourPurpose #SelfCareIsNotSelfish

As a parent, I know how easy it is to get so caught up in the demands of work, home, and family that you have nothing left to give your partner. I've been there - feeling lonely, resentful, and disconnected from the person I love the most. But I've also learned that it doesn't have to be that way. It takes effort to keep that love muscle strong, but it's so worth it. Make date nights a non-negotiable, even if it's just a simple activity together. And don't be afraid to plan a kid-free getaway - even 3 days can reignite that spark. Your relationship deserves that investment. You both do. It's not easy, but choosing each other, even when life is crazy, is what will keep your bond alive. Ready to learn more? Listen to the full episode of the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast, where I dive deeper into this topic. Your relationship is worth the investment - let's work on it together!
