Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!

You don’t need to do it all to have it all.

If you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram during the holidays and thought, “How are other moms doing all this?”, this episode is for you.

I’m joined again by my friend and Marisa Lonic of Mama Work It to talk about the  comparison traps and guilt that come with modern motherhood — especially during the school and holiday rush.

We break down:

  • How social media fuels “comparisonitis” and how to protect your peace online
  • Why doing less can actually make you a better mom, wife, and human
  • How to redefine success and capacity in each season
  • Practical strategies for staying grounded, setting boundaries, and delegating without guilt

We also talk about what it looks like to be confident in saying no without apology and how modeling this for your kids teaches them self-respect and emotional intelligence.

If you’re ready to make this school year and holiday season lighter, calmer, and more connected — this conversation will help you do just that.
