In the final episode of the School Year Strong series, we’re turning the spotlight back on you, mama. Over the past five weeks, we’ve walked through strategies to support your kids, but today is about protecting your own peace during the busy school season. Because the truth is, you can’t pour into them if you’re running on empty.

This episode dives into practical and powerful ways to reset: identifying your non-negotiables, saying “no” without guilt, building micro-moments of self-care, sharing the load, and reframing rest as fuel for the whole family. We’ll also unpack three common pitfalls that steal your peace and how to overcome them with grace.

By the end of this conversation, you’ll feel equipped, encouraged, and reminded that protecting your peace isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up as the best version of yourself for the people you love most.
