94. So...August Was Chaos. Here's My Back To School Reset

Send us a text

If you're crawling out of summer feeling tired, behind, or wondering if you even still like your business, this episode is for you!

Every single August, I somehow convince myself that I'm going to get so much done while the kids are home. Then reality hits - kids are home 24/7, capacity plummets, and that perfectly planned summer productivity goes out the window. This year was particularly chaotic for our family, and I'm sharing the raw, honest truth about what August really looked like behind the scenes.

But here's what I was reminded of: August isn't supposed to be a growth season for CEO moms...it's a maintenance season. And if you're just maintaining at minimum viable? That's not failure, that's reality. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how I'm getting re-inspired heading into September, why simplifying (not adding more) leads to the biggest breakthroughs, and my three-step plan for turning the last four months of 2025 into your most profitable yet.

What You'll Learn:

• The real reason why August can leave CEO moms feeling behind (and why you're actually right on track)
• My secret 3-step formula for reconnecting with your inspiration when you're feeling completely burned out
• Why I can cut what my clients are doing by 50% and get them BETTER results (this mindset shift changes everything)
• The one file every business owner should keep that instantly reignites your passion and clarity
• How to turn the chaos of summer into the rocket fuel for your most profitable Q4 ever
• Behind-the-scenes of my most chaotic summer yet - and the breakthrough that came from it all
