Parenting, Camp and Self-Care

Dr. Brooke Weinstein
About this episode
EP:154 Hey Thrive Community!   As a solo parent, I know firsthand how hard it can be to juggle all the roles—provider, nurturer, chef, chauffeur, and more—while still trying to find moments for myself. In this episode, I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of sending my kids to camp for a month, the grief and relief that come with having time alone, and the pride I feel watching my children grow and thrive in new environments. I share my truth about the challenges of solo parenting, the importance of honoring the hard moments, and why it’s okay to admit that this journey isn’t always easy. If you’re a parent who sometimes feels overwhelmed or alone, I hope my story reminds you that your feelings are valid and you’re not alone. If this episode resonated with you, please share it with a fellow parent, leave a review, and join our community for more honest conversations about parenting and self-care.
