Backpacks, carpools, and a calendar that somehow fills itself overnight—back-to-school season is officially here. In this episode, Mel shares how she tackles the chaos of shifting from summer mode back into routine, what’s working (and not working) when it comes to balancing business with busy family life, and how we all find our rhythm again this time of year.

Of course, no episode is complete without our signature Closing Questions & Confessions—because the stories behind the deals are just as real as the ones happening around the kitchen table.

Tune in for laughs, lessons, and a little relief knowing you’re not the only one navigating the madness.
