Summer is a season of sunshine, energy—and opportunity. Here's how to use the natural rhythm of summer to build flexible routines, cultivate cheerful productivity, and grow in self-control. Drawing from her own homemaking experience and the principles inside her Sweep and Smile course, Mystie challenges the factory-model ideal of consistency and perfection and replaces it with a more faithful—and realistic—approach: iterative progress anchored in attitude.

Whether your summer looks radically different or stays mostly the same, now is the time to make hay while the sun shines—not by overhauling everything, but by learning from your experience and taking the next faithful step.

🔁 Learn why starting from scratch is a trap
🧠 Why “sustainable” doesn’t mean “same”
⚔️ How to think like a general, not a machine
💜 And how building self-control is the first move toward peace

👉 This episode ties into Mystie’s Sweep and Smile course, where you build custom homemaking routines by practicing them—not perfecting them.
