Feeling crispy-fried by May? You’re not alone. In this short and real-talk episode, Sam and Melissa break down why everyone’s burnt out—from teachers to teens to you—and how to make it to summer without losing your mind.
We cover:
- End-of-year burnout (it’s not just “senioritis”)
- Helping teens through finals without melting down
- Low-lift summer ideas (Alphabet Summer, anyone?)
- How to avoid the screen-time vortex
- Why it’s okay to phone it in (really)
Set the bar low, pour the cereal, and join us for a dose of perspective and permission to do less.
You know when your kid screws up in some way, and you're sure of the lesson you want them to learn from it....but you’re not sure how to say it in a way they’ll actually hear?
Download Sam's free video guide that walks you through a simple, step-by-step process for handling these tough conversations called the L.O.V.E.D. framework.
