#60 Parental Burnout with Shelley Kemmerer PA-C
05/17/21 • 41 min
Do you struggle with anxiety, fatigue and/or overwhelm as a parent?
I interviewed Shelley Kemmerer PA-C of @runtellmom in this episode of How Humans Heal. We talked about all the pressure parents experience and what is needed to help parents keep up.
Shelley is a parent and physician’s assistant who realized from her own experience that parents need help to prevent burnout. It’s a lot to keep up with working, taking care of responsibilities at home, taking care of children, and finding time for ourselves, as parents. And this is not something offered in a usual doctor’s office.
So Shelley created RunTellMom where she offers a wide range of parental wellness resources, including help after having a baby, returning to work, getting enough sleep, and finding other parents to connect with, to name a few.
She also collaborates with like-minded practitioners in complementary and related fields with a vision of providing support for parental wellness that benefits all parents!
In this episode we talk about:
How to know if you are on the brink of experiencing parental burnout
What is the impact of prolonged stress on our bodies
Why it’s often hard to ask for help and to feel isolated
Steps parents can take to prevent burnout
How Shelley helps parents address burnout
And more!
It’s not about being a superhero and powering through. It’s about planning ahead, making sure you have the support you need as a parent, and stepping back when you do feel overwhelmed to figure out what needs to be addressed.
I encourage you to make sure you prioritize your health while parenting your child or children. If you are overwhelmed, frustrated or at your wits end, I’m here to help too. We can do testing to understand how stress has affected your body, hormones, and neurotransmitters and determine what is needed to help you recover.
Parents are human too! Listen in to the conversation I had with Shelley to find out more how to parent in a way that doesn’t have to involve burnout.

#61 Healing as a Spiritual Journey with Dr. Serena Goldstein
Have you ever wondered if the health issues you are experiencing are telling you something more?
In this episode I talk with naturopathic doctor and friend, Dr. Serena Goldstein about how our physical symptoms can have a message for us to learn about life and our choices going forward.
For me, it was migraines. After experiencing hundreds of them and missing out on so much of what I had planned, or so I thought, I realized that the migraines were telling me that I needed a day off. So I started planning days off, and you know what, the migraines stopped happening.
Serena learned a similar lesson from her body and in her experience helping patients with hormone imbalances. With a background in psychology, she was already aware that the emotional level needs attention. But after working with a shaman in Ecuador and working through her own struggles with maintaining her body weight, she had an epiphany that she wasn’t being her true self nor offering her patients the spiritual guidance she was capable of.
Join me in this conversation if you’ve been feeling stuck or frustrated with your symptoms, wondering if you’ll ever feel better, and/or if you have a funny feeling there may be a lesson on a deeper level that you’ve been missing.
In this episode we talk about:
• How psychology is part of the training of a naturopathic doctor
• How emotional and spiritual issues sometimes show up in physical symptoms
• Understanding the struggle of weight loss and hormone imbalance
• How to become more aware of the messages your body is sending you
• Life is about the journey and self-expression
• Going deeper in your healing by understanding what is locked inside
• Getting to your intuition and deep soul wisdom
• Finding and working with a practitioner who can help guide you on a spiritual level
No matter what your faith or religion is, connecting with yourself on a deeper, spiritual level can make all the difference in understanding yourself and what your body needs in order to heal.
I highly recommend that you seek out ways to support your spiritual journey on a deeper level. Look into the resources we mentioned in this episode and talk with your naturopathic doctor or practitioner about this so they can help guide you.
