If your planner looks great but your days still feel exhausting, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Organized-ish Parent Podcast, I'm breaking down why traditional schedules don't work for moms — especially default parents carrying the mental load.

If you've tried planners, routines, or time blocking and still end most days depleted, this isn't a discipline problem. It's a design problem.

I'll walk you through:

• Why most schedules weren't built for the reality of motherhood

• The three biggest schedule flaws that drain moms

• How mental load and constant transitions quietly sabotage your day

• Why energy matters more than productivity

• One simple shift you can make this week to feel more supported

This episode isn't about doing more or trying harder. It's about designing a schedule that actually supports your life.

🎧 Listen in and rethink your schedule through a lens of support, not pressure.
