At Lighthouse Parent, we believe parenting shouldn't feel like you're drowning. Yet millions of parents are stuck in cycles of overcommitment, burning out while trying to be everything to everyone.
We exist to change that.
Most parenting advice treats all overwhelmed parents the same—offering generic time management tips and one-size-fits-all solutions. But after working with hundreds of families, we've discovered something crucial:
Overcommitted parents aren't randomly overwhelmed. They each have specific patterns that keep them trapped in burnout.
Some parents (we call them Jugglers) take on everything because they can't bear to let anything drop. Others (the Helpers) say yes to everyone because they're afraid of disappointing people. The Optimizers keep searching for the perfect system, while the Rocks carry everyone else's problems because they believe that's what strength means.
I created Lighthouse Parent because I lived the overcommitted parent struggle firsthand. As a mom of five with a demanding career, I spent years trying to be the perfect parent, perfect employee, and perfect wife—until my body literally couldn't keep up anymore.
My background as a business analyst taught me to see patterns and systems. When I applied that lens to my own overwhelm, I discovered it wasn't random chaos—it followed a very specific pattern. More importantly, when I started working with other struggling parents, I realized we all had different patterns that required different solutions.
That insight became the foundation of our 4 Overcommitment Styles framework, which has now helped thousands of parents understand why they burn out and how to break the cycle.
I'm not here to help you do more—I'm here to help you choose better.
