Welcome to The Slay At Home Podcast! In today’s episode, we dive into a small yet powerful habit that can change the atmosphere of your home: the 5-Minute Tidy before meals.

As a busy mom, you’ve probably found yourself struggling to transition from the chaos of the day into a peaceful mealtime. But what if you could reclaim your home’s emotional climate in just five minutes? You can!

In this episode, we explore the neuroscience behind the 5-Minute Tidy and how it can regulate your family’s nervous systems, reduce stress, and promote connection—without requiring a Pinterest-perfect home. This habit isn’t just about tidying; it’s about creating a calming ritual that helps reset your family’s energy and supports emotional regulation.

Whether you're dealing with family support struggles, clutter, or the daily overwhelm of cleaning, this episode will help you start small and find peace with the process.
