Back To School For Moms: Permission To Exhale
Episode description
In this episode, we cover:
- Why it's important to keep our back-to-school expectations and ambitions in check.
- Parenting can still be a full time job even when your kids are in school—don't underestimate the workload in managing a family calendar and daily transitions.
- Carrying our children's back-to-school emotional burdens is a heavy weight—give yourself grace and recognize how hard it is!
- Allow for some extreme decadence at the beginning of the school year—whatever that looks like for you.
- Getting organized is part of self-care: staying on top of things allows you to avoid unnecessary anxiety and unwind and unplug when you need to.
In this Stace and Steph "back to school" episode, we talk candidly about going from the stress of having kids home over the summer to the stress of the transition to school. We cover things like packing in WAY too much the minute our kids head back to school, having unrealistic expectations about how much time we actually have (sound familiar?), giving ourselves permission to exhale, and striking the right balance between being organized and truly checking out to relax and enjoy the time and space without the kids.
