The holidays are fun… until they’re over and real life hits hard.
In this episode, Katie and Meagan talk about the post-holiday routine crash — the sugar overload, the lack of sleep, the missing structure, and the pushback that shows up when it’s time to get back on track.

From a therapist’s perspective (and real-life parenting experience), we unpack what’s happening in kids’ bodies and brains when routines disappear — and why easing back in works better than flipping a switch.

We share practical, realistic ways to reset family routines gently, manage pushback without power struggles, and set expectations that actually support your kids and you.

If you’re navigating the transition back to school, work, or “normal life,” this episode is a reminder that slow resets are not only okay — they’re effective.
