If summer has ever left you feeling torn between being the “fun mom” and the “productive mom,” you are not alone. That internal tug-of-war between enjoying the moment and keeping your life on track can quickly turn summer into a season of guilt, stress, and burnout.
In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite seasonal strategies, A Days and B Days, to help you enjoy summer and stay on top of what matters most. This simple system gives you a way to be fully present with your family without letting your priorities slip through the cracks.
Whether you’re running a business, managing a household, or both, this episode will show you how to approach summer with intention, so you can enjoy it as much as your kids do.
In This Episode, I’ll Walk You Through:
- What A Days, B Days, and even C Days actually are
- Why this system helps reduce guilt, stress, and resentment
- How to customize your summer schedule to fit your family and your responsibilities
- How communication and rhythm make this work (and keep it sustainable all summer)
- A few examples from my own summer planning that might inspire your own
