If your evenings feel like chaos—dishes everywhere, kids bouncing off the walls, and your brain completely fried—you’re not alone. I’ve been there too, and in this episode, I’m sharing the evening wind down routine that helped me shift from total disaster zone to calm and collected.

Evening routines aren’t just for doing more—they’re for setting the tone for the next day. In this episode, I break down what makes a great wind down routine, why it doesn’t have to be long or complicated, and how to customize it for your season of motherhood. Whether you’ve got toddlers, teens, or you work shift hours, you’ll find realistic tips to help you recharge and finally feel ready for the next day.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Evening routines set the tone for tomorrow—it’s less about doing more and more about unwinding with intention.
  2. A good wind down routine should be flexible, short, calming, and include something just for you—even if it’s just five minutes.
  3. There’s no perfect routine—your routine should evolve based on your life season, energy level, and needs.
