This summer was full of travel, memories, and chaos and as much as I loved it, I have to admit… I felt a huge sense of relief when my kids went back to school this week.

And then immediately? Mom guilt.

If you’ve ever felt torn between loving time with your kids and craving the structure of school and work routines, this episode is for you. I share the chaos of our summer travels, the guilt that comes with wanting space, and the powerful shift that helped me reframe guilt as balance.

Because the truth is...our kids don’t just need us to be there, they need us to be whole. And sometimes, that means celebrating the rhythm that comes when school starts again.

💡 If you’ve ever wrestled with summer mom guilt, this episode will help you breathe, release the pressure, and remember you’re not selfish, you’re human.
