Feel like you're stuck in “just get through this week” mode on repeat?
You’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most believable lies moms tell themselves when they’re overwhelmed: 👉 “I’ll get back on track once things settle down.”
But here’s the truth: life never really settles. And waiting for calm is keeping you from making the small, safe shifts you actually need.
We’re unpacking: – What flight mode looks like in real mom-life chaos (especially in August) – How your nervous system is protecting you—not sabotaging you – Why you don’t need a 3-step plan—you need permission – 3 powerful questions to help you reconnect and reset right now
This is part two of the Back-to-School Excuses series, and it’s your invitation to stop deferring your peace and start moving—even while the snow globe is still swirling.
