Summer is supposed to feel fun and relaxing... so why does it often leave moms feeling completely exhausted? In this episode, Emily is uncovering the invisible labor of summer as a mom. From planning vacations and coordinating childcare to carrying the mental load of keeping everyone fed, entertained, and happy, summer often creates more work and stress instead of less.
If you've ever felt guilty for counting down the days until school starts, questioned whether you're doing enough to make summer "magical," or wondered why everyone else seems to be enjoying the season more than you, this conversation is for you.
Emily unpacks the unrealistic expectations placed on mothers during summer break and shares a fresh perspective that can help you release some of the pressure for the rest of the season and beyond.
If this episode resonated with you, share it with another mom who could use the reminder that she's already doing enough.
