Podcast Episode 314: 3 Tips to Become a No-Panic Parent and Ditch the Overwhelm with Dr. Darria Long, MD
Let’s be real: parenting can feel like a full-blown panic attack waiting to happen. Between managing schedules, finding the lost shoes (again), and keeping everyone fed, it’s no wonder “overwhelm” feels like part of the job description. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be.
In this podcast episode we’re tackling exactly how to ditch overwhelm and find a calmer approach to parenting—even when life feels like a constant emergency room. Join us with special guest Dr. Darria Long, MD. She’s an Emergency Physician, national bestselling author of Mom Hacks, regular health expert on CNN, ABC, and other networks, and the founder of No Panic Parenting. Dr. Darria helps moms keep their children safe and prevent injuries and illnesses, help them know what to do if/when those DO happen, and give them peace of mind.
One of the biggest takeaways from this episode? Learning to triage tasks like a pro. Think of it this way: not everything requires a code-red response, even if it feels that way. Laundry piling up? Not urgent. Kid’s skinned knee? Maybe urgent, but it doesn’t need to derail the whole day. By learning to separate real priorities from the stuff that can wait, you can ditch overwhelm and keep panic out of your daily parenting routine. It’s all about knowing when to take action—and when to let go.
So give yourself permission to make mistakes, laugh it off, and pick up where you left off. After all, kids don’t need perfect parents; they need happy, sane ones. So, take a deep breath, ditch the panic, and get ready to parent with a little more calm and a lot more joy.
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- Triage is essential in both emergency situations and daily life.
- 3 easy tips to help you ditch the overwhelm in parenting and feel less panicked
- It’s okay to not be perfect; embrace the rupture and repair concept.
- Finding joy in the chaos of parenting is important.
