Why Summer Feels So Hard (And What Nobody Tells You About It)

Every summer, intentional moms watch something quietly disappear — the rhythm, the engagement, the calm they spent all year building. It doesn't happen because of chaos. It happens because of drift. And once you understand how it works, you can stop it before it starts. In this episode, I'm introducing a concept I call summer regression — what it is, why it happens even to moms who are paying attention, and the three simple systems that protect everything you've built. We cover: — What summer regression actually is (and why it's not your fault) — The difference between flexibility and drift — Why planning activities is not the same as planning your summer — The 3 Daily Anchors framework for a calmer, simpler season — The Snack Station and Boredom Basket systems that remove you from loops you were never meant to be running 🎯 Ready to stop winging it and start the summer with a real plan?
