In this episode of This Mother Means Business, I’m giving you a real-time, behind-the-scenes look at how I’m setting up my business to thrive without me constantly at the wheel during the summer months. If you're craving more lake days, poolside hangs, and unplugged time with your kids—but still want to keep the momentum in your business—this one’s for you.

I’m sharing the exact strategies I’m implementing to simplify, streamline, and actually enjoy a slow summer. From batching podcast episodes ahead of time to deciding on my “bare ass minimum” content strategy, this is a no-guilt, all-permission pep talk for moms and entrepreneurs who are dreaming of a summer that works for them—not against them.
