104. How to Actually Feel Present This Summer — Not Just Try to Be


Listen Later

You know the feeling of being physically present but mentally somewhere else entirely. Sitting at the dinner table, at the park, at your kid's game — and your brain is already three steps ahead.

Most moms don't need to be told to be present. They need to know how to actually get there. That's what we're talking about today.

In This Episode:

  • Why presence doesn't always look the way we picture it — and why that matters
  • The honest truth about why this kind of moment doesn't just happen on its own
  • What I mean when I say presence is a muscle, not a personality trait
  • What gets in the way for high-achieving moms specifically (mental load, planning mode, performing motherhood instead of living it)
  • What I've been doing differently — and what's actually working
  • An invitation to practice this intentionally all summer long

Where do you lose presence the most — is it the mental load, the phone, the planning ahead? I'd love to know. Come find me on Instagram and tell me.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Send me a message :)
