Episode Overview:
In this episode of Intentional Household, Laura is joined by her husband, Alex Wilson, to explore one of the most relatable challenges for families: weekends that feel more chaotic than restful. Together, they break down why weekends often become a source of stress and imbalance for parents—and how to shift that dynamic through communication, structure, and shared responsibility.
You’ll learn:
- Why weekends often feel unbalanced for couples with kids
- How a simple “Weekend Family Huddle” can change everything
- A realistic weekend framework that supports both productivity and connection
- How to share the parenting load without keeping score
- Why “Anchor Time” (like Sunday breakfast or swimming) matters more than perfection
With practical tips and candid reflections from a real couple navigating business, parenting, and partnership, this episode is a must-listen for anyone craving more harmony and intentionality in their home life.
🎯 Takeaway Challenge: Try a 5-minute family huddle this Friday night or Saturday morning and co-create a plan for the weekend—so everyone feels seen, supported, and satisfied.
