18 summers. We get 18 summers with our kids. Summers are full of joy but can also feel chaotic. Routines are different, childcare is rough. So how do we, in the wild chaos of summer, savor it? How do we enjoy it fully, slow time down, and soak in the sun?
In this episode, I offer 5 tips for savoring the summer as a working mom. I discuss how to pay attention to the details, evoke the senses, invite novel experiences, get bored, and offer gratitude.
I wish for you a summer full of adventures with periods of lazy tucked in. I wish for you an appreciation for the time you have together. I wish for you sunshine and silliness, and a summer you can savor.

Have you ever tried something new and it is so... awkward? You feel like you are faking it and it is just uncomfortable. In this episode, discover the challenges and rewards of adopting new habits and embracing a fresh identity. I share a personal story of when I decided to act like a smart kid, emphasizing James Clear's concept of habits as an embodiment of identity. I discuss how connecting values to desired habits is crucial for long-term integration. I acknowledge the initial awkwardness of adopting new habits and offer the idea that "faking it is making it" as a way to reframe beginner moments. The importance of perseverance in the face of doubt is emphasized. I embrace being a perpetual learner and encourage listeners to bravely embark on their journeys. The episode concludes with wishes for clarity, value-based habit formation, and self-compassion. Embrace the transformative power of "making it" even when it feels awkward!

Is your lack of consistency keeping you from making progress? Is the emotional and mental load of being a working mom impacting your ability to consistently maintain habits? Life as a working mom is wild and rarely consistent. How do we create consistency so as to prioritize our wellbeing while adapting to the changing needs of our family and workplaces? In this episode, I explore what consistency looks like when practiced from a space of care for yourself and others. I consider, is there a way to be imperfectly consistent?

Have you ever found yourself feeling like you've accomplished something simply by reading a self-help book or listening to a podcast, even though you haven't actually changed your behavior? Has your pursuit to feel good gotten in the way of you taking action towards your goals or making a difference in the world?
In this episode, I explore the relationship between feeling good and doing good. Sometimes, catharsis or instant gratification can actually hinder us from taking action. I discuss how reading a book or listening to a podcast can create a false sense of accomplishment without actually leading to lasting change. I ask you, are you interested or are you committed? This episode urges you to put practical tips into action and cultivate lasting change in your life. Tune in!
