Feeling that knot in your stomach on Sunday night? Or EVERY NIGHT? You’re not alone. In this Five Minute Drill from The Long Game Parent, Lauryn Gregg breaks down what’s really behind the Sunday Scaries— or just that all around never ending wave of anxiety, dread, or restlessness that hits before the something stressful starts—and how to reframe it so you can face that stressor grounded instead of tense.

Learn a simple, actionable practice you can do in under five minutes to quiet your nervous system, reclaim your mindset, and make Sunday nights (or life in general) something you actually look forward to.

You’ll discover:

  • Why working parents are especially vulnerable to Sunday anxiety

  • How emotional anticipation drains your energy before Monday even begins

  • One science-backed ritual to reset your brain and body before the week ahead

This quick episode is your reminder that small, intentional habits make the biggest difference in the long game of parenting and work.
