#72 - The Busy Mom's Summer Survival Plan
The Leaner You Podcast with Daniel Rosenthal and Santo ChiappettaShow Notes
Summer flips everything upside down - the kids are home, you're running to camps and activities, eating on the go, and the structure you worked so hard to build during the school year is gone. But writing off the whole summer and starting over in September isn't the answer.
In this episode, Daniel and Coach Santo break down how to stay on track when life gets chaotic, without needing a perfect plan.
