We are smack dab in the middle of what I call ‘Maycember’, and the tidal wave of end of school year events feels unrelenting. Are you feeling the pre-summer pressure, too? You’re not alone!  

I really lean on my parenting motto throughout May: Half Ass, Whole Heart. By choosing sobriety, you’ve gone a long way to showing up with your whole heart for your kids. The other stuff? ‘Half ass’ it wherever you need to (store bought cookies are great!). 

Check in with yourself: What can you say no to this week? How can you take care of yourself when you’re just trying to survive the month? What thing that doesn’t really matter can you gently set aside so that a glass of wine doesn’t sound like the solution at the end of the day? 

It might feel like you’re treading water this month - but trust me - you’ve got this. 

My 12- week Sober Summer Series is starting next Friday right here on The Weekend Reset! I’ll be going into more depth each week on my Substack, Sober for Good. Subscribe here!
