246. 9 Routines You Need This Fall to Save Your Sanity as a Working Mom


Listen Later

Hey mamas,

September is officially here! That means cozy sweaters, Friday night football games, pumpkin spice everything… and of course, calendars that fill faster than your kids’ snack bowls after school.

Between back-to-school chaos, busier work schedules, and all the seasonal extras (looking at you, permission slips and soccer gear), fall can feel like one giant juggling act. That’s why in today’s episode, I’m breaking down 9 practical, sanity-saving routines to help you feel more organized, less overwhelmed, and actually able to enjoy this season.

We’ll cover:

  1. The Weekly Planning Power Hour that keeps everyone on the same page
  2. Night-before prep that makes mornings smoother (and less shouty)
  3. A grounding morning routine that’s just for YOU
  4. The after-school rhythm that cuts down on meltdowns and hangry chaos
  5. An evening reset that sets your tomorrow-self up for success
  6. A simple bedtime wind-down that helps everyone sleep better
  7. Sunday prep routines that stop the “we’re missing a cleat” panic
  8. Realistic meal prep shortcuts (no 27 Tupperwares required!)
  9. The one self-care non-negotiable you need this season
  10. These aren’t rigid, Pinterest-perfect systems. They’re real-life routines that work for working moms who are juggling jobs, homes, kids, and everything in between.
