Adjusting Your Daily Routine When You Go Back to Work
In this episode, Carrie and Angie dive into one of the most underestimated parts of returning to work as a stay-at-home mom — adjusting your daily routine.
What sounds like a simple change—“just tweak your schedule”—is actually a major emotional and logistical shift for you and your family. The hosts share personal stories and practical insights to help you navigate that transition with more grace, patience, and flexibility.
They explore:
Why changing your daily routine is not a small thing
How family dynamics shift when mom goes back to work
The importance of giving yourself (and your kids) grace in the messy middle
Creative ways to rethink routines like mornings, meals, and bedtime
Letting go of guilt and perfection to find what works for your family
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to “do it all” while re-entering the workforce, this conversation will remind you that you’re not failing—you’re simply transitioning.
Change is hard—and that’s okay.
Routines impact the whole family, not just you.
Grace beats guilt every time.
Experiment, adjust, and find your rhythm—it doesn’t have to be perfect.
- Traditions can evolve. Do what truly works for your household.
- Celebrate yourself—because you are absolutely killing it.
