Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the hardest summers I've ever had as a working mom and how I’m doing it differently this year. I’m sharing the real mindset traps that made last summer feel like a chaotic mess, the big mistakes I made trying to make everyone happy, and the intentional shifts I’m making to create a summer that's actually fun, fulfilling, and calm. If summer usually feels like a stress marathon for you, you do not want to miss this one.  

Topics in this episode:

  • Why last summer nearly broke me—and the mindset traps behind it 
  • The "summer camp scramble" reality for working parents 
  • The 4 big mistakes I made (and what I'm doing differently this year) 
  • How to define your version of a successful summer 
  • Practical strategies to plan a calm, fulfilling summer (for you and your kids)
