056 - Reset Your Home Routines: A Fresh Start for Summer


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re exploring what it really means to rethink your routines — especially as we head into summer. When the school year ends and the pace of life shifts, many moms find themselves in a strange in-between: craving rest, but also craving structure… and not quite sure how to find either.

Whether you're feeling behind, overwhelmed, or just unsure how to adjust to the season, this episode is here to help you pause, reflect, and realign.


This episode is for you if you ever:

  • Feel overwhelmed by the daily demands of home life

  • Struggle to stay on top of home tasks, cleaning, organizing, or time management

  • Long for more ease, flow, and structure in your days

  • Wonder how to build systems that support both your home and your wellbeing


We’ll explore:

  • An overview of the Five Foundations of a Holistic Home

  • How each foundation helps address the most common struggles: mindset, clutter, time, energy, and décor

  • Why harmony—not perfection—is the real goal of home

  • A deeper dive into Foundation Three: Plans & Routines

  • A breakdown of the Holistic Home Plans & Routines Framework:

    • The Daily Dozen: 12 simple habits that nurture both home and wellbeing

    • Weekly Tasks: Essential rhythms for sustainable home care

    • House Zones: A mindful and practical way to declutter, organize and clean

    • Cyclical Living: Tending your home with the natural rhythms and cycles


I also share why this framework was developed, why it works for real-life homes (especially for busy, overwhelmed moms), and how to make it your own.

Whether you’re feeling stuck in survival mode or simply ready for a fresh start this season, this conversation is an invitation to reset your routines with intention and care. Let’s rethink routines, build rhythms that serve us, and step into summer with more space to thrive.
