What's Up Wednesdays!

🌿 Episode Summary:
In today’s heartfelt episode, we explore what it means to reclaim your identity in the quieter, sun-drenched moments of summer. Inspired by a real client story, we meet Jasmine—a mom who unknowingly lost sight of herself in the busyness of motherhood until a slow summer morning brought a moment of clarity. Through her story, we unpack the beauty of stillness, the bravery of asking yourself what you truly want, and the ripple effect that rediscovering joy can have on your entire family.

✨ What You'll Hear in This Episode:

  • Jasmine’s awakening moment on the porch
  • How small shifts (like journaling or evening walks) led to big changes
  • Why slowing down isn’t laziness—it’s a doorway back to self
  • Creative ways to weave play and learning into summer parenting
  • A powerful invitation to ask: “When did I stop asking what I want?”
  • A simple framework for your own summer bucket list—designed for you, not just your kids

📝 Takeaways:

  • Stillness reveals truth: You don’t need a retreat—just a moment.
  • Questions unlock rediscovery: Start with curiosity.
  • Joy isn't a luxury—it’s a need: And it's contagious.
  • Self-love models love: When you show up for yourself, your children learn to do the same.

Create your own Summer Bucket List for Rediscovery:

  1. For the Body: Move, stretch, rest.
  2. For the Mind: Read, journal, learn.
  3. For the Soul: Meditate, reflect, pray.

  5. For Fun & Play: Do something silly, spontaneous, or nostalgic—just for you.

đź’– Your Invitation:
