The Real Mother Effort Podcast

When Your Day Goes to Sh*t (and How to Save It)


Listen Later

Some days just go completely off the rails — no matter how well you planned. A sick kid, a flat tire, a last-minute work deadline… it's all "life lifing." In this episode, Lauren shares her real-life framework for handling the days that derail. You'll learn how to reset expectations, identify what kind of day you're actually in, and still end feeling like you led yourself well — not like you failed.

Episode Highlights:

  • The "life lifing" moments that tank even the best plans
  • Why we expect 100% from ourselves every day (and why that's unrealistic)
  • The 25%, 50%, 75% method to reset expectations
  • Real examples of how to adjust work, home, and family tasks
  • How to ask for the right kind of support on tough days
  • Why self-leadership—not perfection—is the goal
