The Rest Reset Guide: 7 Types of Rest Parents Actually Need to Reclaim Their Energy (Beyond Sleep)
Tired of being tired?
Discover what kind of rest you actually need (it’s not just sleep!) and how to finally get it - so you can feel energized, focused, and ready to do what matters most to you.
Sound Familiar?
Being tired can feel like a job requirement for parenting.
Even when your kids finally sleep through the night, you’re still dragging. The self-care, the extra coffees, the occasional early bedtime - none of it seems to restore your energy the way it used to. And it’s frustrating as you’ve got plans, dreams, and passions to pursue - all for which you need more energy.
Here’s the truth: sleep and rest aren’t the same thing.
You may not need more sleep. You might just need the right kind of rest.
This is for parents who...
Feel drained, even after self-care activities or a good night’s sleep
Want to see rest as productive - and even a quiet act of rebellion in a world that glorifies burnout
Like to live a more harmonious, joyful version of themselves and model that type of parenthood for their kids
Crave more time and energy to pursue what they love - in parenthood and beyond

Hi and Hello! I’m Nadine.
I'm part of your parent support village.
I coach* parents to get their mojos back, and go after what you truly want - you know, the thing you can’t stop thinking about.
Baby steps or giant leaps, you get more energized, confident, and happier once you start taking action - be that claiming more me-time, figuring out that next step in your life, going for a career change, starting your own business or even a passion project.
When I don’t power up parents to run their world with ease and passion, I’m likely taking a moment for myself with a book or having fun with my family here in Vancouver, Canada.
*I’m a certified coach through Positive Intelligence Inc. and accredited through the International Coaching Federation.

A warm welcome note from a fellow parent who gets it (you’re not alone!).
