Parenthood and maintaining a healthy relationship are ambitious endeavors. Being fully aware, you armed yourself with all the latest books, articles, podcasts, and resources, committed to being present and strong for your family. Yet, despite embracing every piece of advice and strategy in your search for reassurance, there are times you find yourself wondering why the harmony, connection, and closeness you envisioned seem out of reach. If this rings true, let me tell you: it’s not you! It’s what they didn’t tell you. The parenting guidance and strategies we read online lack depth. They hardly ever address the transition into parenthood and the profound impact this has on our identity, partnerships, and ability to show up as the parent we wish to be for our children. But guess what? We’re about to turn that around. Hi there, I’m Markella Kaplani. A clinical-counseling psychologist, a parenthood and relationship Coach, a matrescence coach and facilitator, a former special educator, and a parent myself. In my 15+ years in counseling and coaching, I know this to be true: once a parent is truly supported, not only through being given techniques to overcome parenting challenges, but on a personal and relational level, then the entire family can thrive. So, welcome to the Parenthood and Relationship Podcast! Here, we learn to grow individually, normalizing and validating the processes of matrescence and patrescence (i.e. struggling with identity, mom guilt, dad guilt, postpartum rage, work-life balance, etc). We also grow together by unraveling how parenthood affects marriage and what stands in the way of following the actionable parenting strategies that we know are helpful. So, if you’re feeling ready, let me hold your hand while we tackle intriguing, yet difficult topics, with compassion and curiosity.

Parenting is one of the most fulfilling roles, but let’s face it—it’s also one of the most exhausting. If you’ve ever felt completely drained or like you’re barely keeping up, you might be experiencing parental burnout. And no, it doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’ve been giving your all without taking time to refill your own cup.
In this episode, we’re getting real about parenting burnout—what it looks like, how it sneaks up on us, and what you can do to reset. Whether you’re navigating new parent tiredness, the demands of being a working mom, or even the silent struggles of mom burnout / dad burnout, I’ve got you covered.
We’ll explore:
✨ Parental burnout signs in everyday life.
✨ Why things like exhausted mother syndrome or feeling like a tired parent don’t mean you’re weak—it’s a sign to pause.
✨ How to reset parental burnout symptoms create a realistic self-care routine for moms (and dads) to reset and reconnect.
I’ll walk you through practical tips for how to recover from parental burnout, including redefining your expectations, building better boundaries, and finding small, doable ways to bring joy back into your day.
Parenting doesn’t come with an instruction manual, but burnout happens when we pour from an empty cup for too long. This episode is your permission slip to hit reset—not just for your family, but for YOU.
🎧 Tune in now to learn how to navigate parenting burnout stages, avoid future overwhelm, and start showing up for yourself as much as you do for everyone else. Because you’re not just a parent—you’re a person who deserves care, too.
