Feeling Burned Out? How to Plan a Restful Summer (Without Guilt)

In this week's episode of the podcast, I’m handing you a permission slip to take real rest this summer—without guilt, over-explaining, or waiting for the perfect moment. If you've ever said, “I just don’t have time for a break” or “I’ll rest after this project wraps,” this episode is your wake-up call. I’m breaking down the 5 most common excuses working moms use to avoid time off—and giving you actionable ways to make unplugging not just possible, but joyful. If you want more memories and less burnout this summer, don’t miss this one.
