111 - 3 Small Changes That Could Make This Your Best Summer Yet
The Life Coach for Working Moms PodcastShow Notes
Summer is here and if you're a working mom, you already know the tension. Your schedule doesn't change, but everything else does. The kids are home, the routine is gone, and somehow, it's August before you've done a single thing you actually wanted to do this season.
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on three new systems I'm personally testing with my family this summer, not because I have it all figured out, but because I got tired of summers that felt chaotic, screen-time battles I was losing daily, and kids who forgot how to be helpful the moment school let out.
I'm sharing exactly what we're trying: themed after-camp evenings so nobody's asking "what do we do?" (including me), a once-and-done approach to screen time rules that I'm hoping will save my sanity, and a simple daily practice plus weekly chore system designed to keep the summer vibes and make some actual progress.
Take what resonates, leave what doesn't, and maybe find one idea worth trying in your own home this summer.

Working moms today spend more time with their kids than stay-at-home moms did a generation ago, while men's time on housework has barely changed. No wonder so many of us are exhausted.
From now until the end of the year we add a whole second list on top of everything else and just expect that we'll somehow fit it all in. It's no wonder working moms feel exhausted by the new year!
What if the fight about the dishwasher was never about the dishwasher? Working motherhood is hard, and when you're carrying more than your fair share of the mental load, it's easy to say "I feel like I'm doing everything and you're doing nothing," an argument you've had many times before.
If you've ever tried time blocking and thought "this doesn't work for me", this episode is for you.
Working motherhood is hard, and most of us believe that if we just got through the list, we'd finally feel calm. But what if your to-do list isn't the reason you feel overwhelmed?
