Summer’s coming, which means it’s time to start asking some questions. Not the “what camps should we sign up for?” kind, but the deeper ones that help you create a summer rhythm that actually serves your family (and doesn’t leave you burned out by mid-June.)
In this week’s episode, I’m sharing eight questions I’m working through right now as we prepare for summer in our home – questions that help me make intentional choices before things get busy.
In this episode I share:
- How I start thinking about summer (before the calendar fills up)
- The question that helps me avoid comparison traps
- How collaborating with your kids helps create a summer that works for everyone
- And how to work with your current circumstances instead of fighting them
Whether you’ve got big changes coming, are craving more simplicity, or just want a rhythm that feels good to everyone, this episode is here to help you start making intentional decisions for the months ahead.
And if you want even more support for feeling confident and grounded in your everyday life, head to survivingtothrivingtoolkit.com to get on the waitlist.
