On this "Mom Musing" of the Raising Sons Podcast, Dr. Richelle opens up about the early emails she is receiving from her sons’ schools and the preparations already underway for a smooth new school year.

With one son transitioning to middle school and the other to high school, Dr. Whitaker shares her own strategy for easing chaos: getting her closet organized. She explains how simplifying just one part of her life creates a sense of calm and control amid the upcoming changes and hectic schedules.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on what one thing they can tackle right now to better prepare themselves and their families for the school year ahead, whether that’s organizing a space, planning routines, or another practical step.

Dr. Whitaker also invites listeners to join the Boy Mom Nation community at a special founding member rate and announces the upcoming “Raising Sons Back to School Experience” on August 23rd in Houston. This in-person event will offer support from a male therapist for adolescent sons, a workshop for moms, and opportunities for connection and bonding over food and fun.
