About this listen

The Detached Parent argues that exhaustion isn't proof of love, only that of self neglect. You're not serving anyone in this manner. Too many parents fall into the exhausting trap of martyrdom. This episode dismantles the myth that more sacrifice equals more love. We expose how parental over-functioning creates chaos instead of capability, and how neuroscience reframes your role as the family’s head regulator.

We discuss: Why martyrdom is dysfunction, not love. How your nervous system sets the emotional thermostat for your household. The anxious-parenting loop that wires dependency instead of resilience. The strategic shift from fixer to believer — and why doing less builds more capable kids.

This isn’t about parenting hacks. It’s about rewiring your operating system as a parent — trading exhaustion for strategy, and control for influence.
