Every spring, I find myself dreaming of the magical summer I'm going to create — the bucket lists, the smoothie-making, the reading charts, the big outings. But year after year, I'd hit August and wonder… how did I miss it?

In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story about the summer I finally realized I was working against my own brain in pursuit of Pinterest-level memories. And more importantly — how I reset.

You'll hear:

• Why your summer doesn't have to look like anyone else's

• How to build a realistic "magic container" for your season

• Why presence always matters more than performance

• And how one summer with a painfully mismatched bucket list helped me shift my mindset for good

Whether you're rocking themed snack days or just trying to keep everyone in clean underwear, this episode will remind you that your version of magic counts.
