About
Hello, I’m Malin
Writer, parent, and someone who has learned, sometimes the hard way, that being a good parent starts with having something left to give.
My story
For a long time I believed that if family life felt heavy, I simply needed to try harder: be more patient, more organised, more present. But the harder I tried, the more drained I became, and the further I drifted from the parent I wanted to be.
Things began to change when I started asking a different question. Not “What am I doing wrong?” but “What is taking my energy, and what could give some of it back?”
That question became the heart of my book, The Parent You Want To Be. It brings together what I’ve learned about stress, capacity and everyday family life into a guide that is honest, kind and, above all, practical.
Why I write
I write for parents who are doing their best and still feel like they’re falling short. My hope is that you finish the book feeling understood, a little lighter, and with a few concrete tools you can use tomorrow morning.
