38: How to save your sanity this summer (without losing yourself in the chaos)

Overbooked, overtired, and already over summer? This episode is your game plan to surviving if your summer is already feeling like a stress marathon filled with snack demands, back-to-back camps, and logistics that rival a NASA launch.

For many of us, summer feels like burnout on steroids, but you can take back control before it steamrolls you.

From unpredictable schedules to the invisible load of vacation prep, moms are holding a lot this season. But guess what? You deserve to live, too. And I’m here to help you do just that—without adding more to your already overflowing plate.

🎧 Inside, you’ll learn:

• How to light the disproportionate mental load moms carry during summer

• The #1 planning mistake that leaves you more frazzled, not freer

• Why “winging it” might actually be stealing your peace and spontaneity (and how to fix it)

• The cheapest and easiest ways to keep kids of all ages entertained that coexists with your work needs

This episode is your permission slip to build more breathing room into your summer, and actually enjoy it, too!
