Episode #61:

Mid-Summer Magic or Madness?

Let's Reset

It’s officially late July, which means we’re deep in the season of sticky popsicles, sunscreen battles, and the kind of sibling squabbles that make you rethink that “no screens before noon” rule. In this week’s episode, we’re pressing pause on the chaos to do a little mid-summer check-in.

Is summer feeling more magical mischief or creepy cult vibes? (Looking at you, Midsommar’s Florence Pugh.) Either way, now’s a great time to ask:

• What’s actually working for your family right now?
• What habits need a little tweak (or a full-on overhaul)?
• What does each person—yes, including you—need for the rest of the season?

I’m sharing the small shift that helped calm our chaotic mornings, why “we’ll see” days are going on our calendar, and how one family’s digital detox brought unexpected peace (and fewer remote-control fights). Spoiler: No one’s tossing devices in the ocean… but some might get gently tucked away in a box for a while.

Whether your summer has been dreamy, messy, or a bit of both, this episode is your gentle reminder to reflect, recalibrate, and maybe even sneak in a beach read and a bagel run.

Take a deep breath. You're doing better than you think. And that’s good enough.
