In this episode of Thursday Tea with Sami, clinical psychologist Dr. Micaela Birt discusses the complexities of parenting and emphasizes the importance of self-care, self-compassion, and gratitude in maintaining mental health and overall well-being. Through personal stories and insights grounded in positive psychology, she explores how parenting challenges, parental pressures, and sleep deprivation impact happiness—and why it’s okay to not enjoy every moment. This conversation is a compassionate reminder that every child is different, and the path to being a good parent begins with being kind to yourself.
