216. How To Plan An Intentional Summer As a Working Mom (Without Losing Your Mind!)


Listen Later

Hi Mamas,

With summer creeping up, it’s easy to feel like the season just happens to us. One minute you’re dreaming of family picnics and slow mornings… and the next, it’s August and you're wondering where all the time went.

In this episode I share her heartfelt, practical framework for designing a summer that’s aligned with your energy, your season of life, and your family’s values. Because you don’t need a Pinterest-perfect summer to create real, lasting memories… you just need a plan that works for you.

🌟 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to reflect on what really matters this summer
  • Ways to involve your kids in creating a summer bucket list
  • Why rhythms beat rigid schedules (especially for working moms)
  • How to map out your summer without overfilling your calendar
  • The importance of protecting white space for spontaneity and rest
  • How to release guilt and create a summer that actually serves you
  • Whether you’re planning a big family trip or keeping it close to home, this episode will help you make intentional choices that lead to a summer filled with connection, fun, and a little breathing room.

    ✨ Summer Intention Challenge:

    This week, take 20 minutes to:

    ✅ Reflect on how you want summer to feel
    ✅ Create your Summer Vision List (with your kids!)
    ✅ Draft a loose weekly rhythm
    ✅ Protect some white space

    Then come hang out with me on Instagram or in our Facebook group and share ONE thing you’re saying yes to this summer…and ONE thing you’re letting go of. Let’s support each other in creating summers that truly nourish us.
