25. SOLO: Wisdom for Navigating Seasons of Change in Motherhood | Slow Down & Enjoy the Sweet Season of Summertime

This one’s just you and me, heart-to-heart. 😊 With school winding down and summer activity schedules already filling up the calendar for so many, I know how chaotic this season can feel. In today’s solo episode I’m sharing real-life stories and simple strategies that remind you to hold onto the sweet stuff (and sanity) while juggling work, kids, and everything in between.

Here’s what we chat about:

• The “Summertime Mom” shift—why emotions run high as routines disappear.
• How I’m processing my kids getting older (hello, empty-nest feelings).
• Summer survival tips that actually work: grabbing extra help, lowering perfection standards, and scheduling tiny self-care pockets.
• Permission to hit pause and soak up the micro moments—because these moments really are fleeting.

If your brain is spinning with end-of-year parties, events, activites, and work deadlines - I hope this helps bring you peace and purpose back into this season of life, because time is fleeting and our hustle will always be there but our kids will not. Think of this episode as a deep breath, a pep talk, and a reminder that you are not alone.
