In this behind-the-scenes summer chat, I’m sharing what it really looks like when everyone’s on holiday — except mom. The truth is, even in the lazy days of summer, the emotional labor doesn’t stop. From holding the energy of the whole family to managing meltdowns and logistics, it can be deeply draining.

I’m feeling it too — and I wanted to let you in on how I navigate those moments, how I refill my own cup (even when there's no quiet moment in sight), and why having supportive tools makes all the difference.

At the end of the episode, I’m inviting you to join me for the free 5-Day Mom Reset Challenge, starting August 18th — your gentle path back to calm, clarity, and connection with you.
