Back-to-School Chaos, Confidence, and Kindness | The Weekly Mom Moment

The first week of school always feels like a sprint — new routines, fresh starts, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with sending our kids back into classrooms, new friend groups, and new challenges.

In this week’s Mom Moment, Brittany reflects on her own whirlwind back-to-school week, sharing the very real emotions of leaving her son in Alberta, supporting her daughter through high school nerves, and holding space for her family’s shifting dynamics.

Together, we’ll talk about:

• Why emotional adjustment is just as important as school supplies.

• The power of intentional family conversations about goals and growth.

• How to instill confidence in our teenage girls (and why it starts with us).

• The reminder that kindness — to ourselves, our kids, and each other — can make all the difference.

Whether you’re running on coffee and carpool chaos or trying to ground yourself amidst the back-to-school storm, this conversation is your reminder that you’re not alone.

🌟 Key Takeaways

• Back-to-school is emotional, not just logistical.

• Setting family goals can help bring calm to the chaos.

• Confidence is one of the greatest gifts we can give our daughters.

• Moms model confidence — and our kids notice.

• Choose kindness: it lightens the load for everyone.
