Nobody's Perfect Parenting

Hi, I’m Irina Ertel, and I get it — parenting is hard. It’s messy, overwhelming, and sometimes downright exhausting. If you’re here, you’re probably feeling stuck in guilt, shame, or just plain confusion about how to handle it all. You might be wondering if you’re failing your child or if you’re even cut out for this.

Here’s the truth: Nobody’s perfect — and you don’t have to be.

I created Nobody’s Perfect Parenting because I’ve been there. Motherhood cracked me open, challenged everything I thought I knew, and pushed me to confront my own fears and failures. But through that struggle, I found something important: the answers aren’t in perfect routines or endless advice. The real breakthrough comes when you stop beating yourself up and start trusting yourself again.

That’s what I’m here to help you do.

This is not about fixing your child’s behavior or following rigid rules. It’s about healing the emotional wounds — the shame and overwhelm — that keep you disconnected from your child and from yourself. When you heal those wounds, confidence and calm follow naturally. You begin to parent from a place of connection, not control.

If you’re tired of feeling alone in this, if you want to stop the cycle of guilt and start building a real, peaceful relationship with your child, you’re in the right place. Together, we’ll cut through the noise, get clear on what really matters, and help you find your calm.

You don’t have to be perfect to be a good parent. You just have to be real.

I’m here to show you how.
