This episode is part of the Summer Confidence Mini Series for the mom who's ready to stop just surviving summer—and start growing with her kids. Show up with intention and peace instead of pressure and guilt.

Hey Mama!

Are you exhausted from trying to create the "perfect" summer for your kids? In this episode of the Summer Confidence Mini Series, we dive into how perfectionism steals your joy and adds unnecessary pressure to your family time. Drawing wisdom from the biblical story of Mary and Martha, we explore how to shift from performance-based parenting to presence-focused connection. Discover practical strategies to create a "pressure-free zone" this summer, where meaningful memories can naturally unfold without the overwhelm. Learn how to intentionally make space for spontaneity and rest, helping both you and your children enjoy what truly matters this season.

Key Takeaways:

  •  Perfectionism shifts your focus from people to performance, robbing you of the joy of being present with your family.
  •  Create a "pressure-free zone" by examining your intentions and trimming your summer bucket list to reduce overwhelm.
  • Intentionally leave space in your schedule for unplanned moments, which often become the most treasured family memories.


✨ Join the Unplanned Joy Challenge this week and discover the freedom that comes when you let go of perfect summer expectations—linked in the show notes!
