Parents — Reclaim Your Weekend. Here’s How | Episode 25

Let’s be real—weekends kind of suck sometimes. You work all week, juggle homework, activities, and dinner disasters, and just when you think you’ve earned a break, the Saturday baseball tournament and Sunday birthday party hit. In this episode, I’m diving into the real reason parents feel like they're running a never-ending marathon—and how we can finally start reclaiming our weekends.

I’ll walk you through five practical shifts you can make starting this Saturday: using your PTO without guilt (yes, even if you don’t have big vacation plans), saying no to things you don’t have the bandwidth for, letting yourself be a little "lazy" without the guilt trip, outsourcing tasks like grocery shopping, and even—hear me out—scheduling rest.

There are no trophies for "Best Burnout." It's time to slow down, protect your peace, and build weekends that actually fill your tank instead of draining it. Society may not be built for parents yet, but inside your four walls? You get to set the rules.

If you’re tired of hitting Monday already exhausted, this episode is your permission slip to do weekends differently.
