What if this summer didn’t need to be magical — just meaningful?
In today’s episode, we’re exploring what it looks like to unbusy your summer. For many moms, summer brings a strange pressure: school’s out, routines shift, and we’re somehow expected to entertain, relax, and keep everything running at once. But what if you slow down on purpose?
We’re talking about the real (and science-backed) adrenaline rush we get from being busy — and how that constant high can leave us exhausted, anxious, and emotionally disconnected. We unpack why it’s so hard to do less — and why embracing stillness can feel so unfamiliar, even scary.
But here’s the truth: doing less isn’t laziness. It’s where restoration begins. Listen to start this summer off with more joy and less exhaustion.
