If you've ever gone into summer feeling genuinely excited about all the fun you're going to have, all the things you're going to do, and all the projects you're finally going to tackle, and then reality hit you like a truck somewhere around the second week of June…this episode is for you.

The truth is that summer looks really different when you still have a job to go to. Working mom summer comes with shorter days for camps vs school, multiple drop-offs and pick-ups, vacation prep that makes the weeks before you leave absolutely brutal, and a side of guilt that nobody asked for. It's a lot.

This episode is about going into summer with a plan so that it doesn't just happen to you. Because your kids deserve to look back on this summer and remember something, and so do you.
