Overwhelmed Parent Burnout Recovery

With Courtney Johannesen

Feeling exhausted, irritable, or disconnected as a parent doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means your nervous system is overloaded, and your mental load is high. This course offers a practical, compassionate path to reclaim calm, rebuild capacity, and restore connection with your children and yourself. These 4 modules will help you: identify the signs of burnout and survival mode; release invisible mental and emotional weight; learn micro-recovery tools for daily life; and build long-term capacity without quitting or overhauling your life. Whether you’re snapping at small things, feeling constantly on edge, or just struggling to find balance, these practices are designed for real parents who are busy, overstimulated, and ready for relief.
