For The Parent Whose Mind Won’t Stop Worrying

If your mind is looping with worry about your kids, this 60-second breath practice is for you.

Not because we parent perfectly — none of us do — but because softening your edges often makes everything clearer, steadier, and more loving.

Join me in this guided breath experiment: Inhale: I love them so deeply. Exhale: I don’t have to carry everything alone. Inhale: They are held by more than just me. Exhale: Support exists beyond what I can see.

This isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about remembering.

You can guide without gripping. You can care without collapsing. And you’re allowed to breathe too.

Let’s parent more softly, more clearly — starting now.

Transcript

If your mind is looping about your kids or you're holding worry about something happening in their world,

Give yourself this pause.

Not because we parent perfectly,

None of us do,

But because softening your edges makes everything clearer,

Steadier,

And more loving.

Let's try this 60 second experiment together.

Inhale for five.

Exhale for five.

Inhale.

I love them so deeply.

Exhale.

I don't have to carry everything alone.

Inhale.

They are held by more than just me.

Exhale.

Support exists beyond what I can see.

Inhale.

I release the fear stories.

Exhale.

I return to the moment.

Inhale.

I can guide without gripping.

Exhale.

I can care without collapsing.

Inhale.

They're becoming who they're meant to be.

Exhale.

And I'm allowed to breathe too.

We never parent perfectly.

We just parent more softly,

More clearly,

When our nervous system isn't caring the entire world.

You are doing enough.

This breath is enough.

If this softened you even a little,

Save it,

Share it,

Put it on repeat until you feel it.

And like or subscribe if you want more.

And when you're ready,

Explore the other meditations.

Use whichever ones you need whenever you need them.

We rise together.
