Ever feel like motherhood is an unforgiving juggling act? You're not alone. That's why I've invited Ashley Blackington, an occupational therapist turned CEO of Dovetail Designs, to share her game-changing strategies for transforming the chaos of family life into a harmonious symphony. She created the Dovetail® framework by combining her 12+ years of clinical experience, research, and the lived experience of trying to, collaboratively, run a busy home with her husband. Our discussion uncovers the magic of making the 'invisible' workload visible, redistributing tasks, and establishing a thriving environment of shared parenting responsibilities.

As we peel back the layers of home management, we uncover the essential role of visual systems and effective communication in achieving balance. Ashley's planner isn't just a schedule—it's a revolution, integrating self-care and reflection into the fabric of family organization. We delve into how these tailored tools can liberate mental space and promote individual and collective well-being.

If you've ever found yourself longing for a moment of peace amidst the whirlwind of parenting, this episode is your blueprint for crafting a space where personal growth and family planning coexist.

Wrap up the episode by stepping into a future where gender roles in parenting are relics of the past. We share candid reflections on the power of trust in your partner's parenting prowess and how to inspire children of any gender to contribute to household tasks. This conversation goes beyond planners and systems; it's a call to action for incremental change, patience, and the joyous rewards of shared control. Join us on this transformative journey—your ticket to a more organized, collaborative, and joyful path in the wild adventure of raising a family.
