The kids are prepped, packed, and out the door for a brand-new school year but where does that leave you

In this episode, I share my behind-the-scenes back-to-school checklist (from uniforms to last-minute shoe emergencies!) and celebrates all the invisible work moms do to make the first day a success.

Then, I turn the tables, inviting you to take that same energy, thoughtfulness, and care you’ve poured into your kids, and redirect some of it back to yourself. 

Through a simple three-step process and reflective questions, I help you:

  • Recognize and celebrate everything you’ve accomplished for your family

  • Identify ways to meet your own needs and goals in this new season

  • Shift from “back-to-school” mode into “back-to-you” momentum

Whether you’re ready for a wardrobe refresh, long-overdue self-care, or finally tackling your personal goals, this episode will inspire you to take a well-deserved turn for yourself without feeling guilty.
