November 03, 2023 Slowing Down and Simplifying this Season
Fall naturally brings with it a pause, a reminder to slow down and pair down and simplify. I always love a reminder to lean into each season but was left this year pondering what role simplification has to play in my life. A day to day with three young kids can feel far from simple or slow. In this episode we discuss the role of simplifying this fall season as well as this season of life.

This episode was refreshing to have the first time around and felt just as needed the second time I listened to it in preparation to air!

Seasons of burnout can be normal, especially if you aren’t intentional about how you manage the stress! This episode is all about how we are finding time to be engaged vs disengaged with our children, and some of the tools we use to avoid hitting a wall.

This episode is a candid conversation on how we go about dividing responsibilities in our homes. Spoiler: it looks different every day, and we’re okay with that. We talk about the pressure we can feel to make sure things are divvied up “equally” and how comparison plays into our though process.
