In this solo episode, Alicia and Melyse are back to share a pulse check on summer, talk about their sanity (or lack of!), and explore what’s next in their messy middle journeys.

Melyse spills details from Mom Camp 2025—the highs, lows, and what she’ll do differently next year (hint: more camps, less chaos), what she’s learning in her coaching program, and her exciting next step: dipping her toes into supply teaching!

Alicia opens up about the growth and healing she’s been focused on during her medical leave, how summer wasn't exactly what she had planned, and how she is getting better at living true to her values.

Together, they dive into:
✨ The surprising joy of simple, low-cost summer activities (beach day > pricey water park)
✨ What therapy, occupational coaching, and boundaries have taught them about burnout
✨ How saying “no” (to events, commitments, and even co-hosting a baby shower) can be the ultimate form of self-care
✨ Big Fall plans for the Not Working Right Now community, including new events!

It’s raw, it’s relatable, and it’s proof that even in the messy middle, growth is happening—and sometimes that’s exactly what’s working right now.
