As moms, summer can feel like both a dream and a juggling act. We want to make magical memories for our families… but we also crave order, rest, and a little bit of time for ourselves. So, how do we actually find balance in the chaos of summer break?
 
In this episode, I’m joined by Jenny Layton—professional organizer, time management coach, and mom of five—who shares a beautifully simple framework that will change the way you think about your summer rhythm. Jenny introduces the idea of “family and personal seasons” and helps us understand how to honor the season we’re in, while still making space for what we need as women.
 
In this conversation, we explore:
 
✨ Why summer feels so overwhelming—and how to shift your expectations
✨ How to embrace the season of family life without losing yourself in it
✨ Why even a small “dot of personal time” can restore your sense of peace
✨ How to help your kids learn to rebalance themselves when they’re bored or off-track
 
Whether you’re a full-time stay-at-home mom, a working mom, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you create a summer that feels more aligned, more joyful, and more you.
