The camps, the childcare scramble, the disrupted routines, the pressure to make magical memories, the guilt of being behind at work while also feeling like you’re not fully present at home — it’s a lot.

In this episode, we unpack: Why summer creates a unique kind of burnout for working moms The mental load behind camps, childcare, and “making memories” Why balance is not a destination — it’s an active practice The hidden danger of treating your own needs like an afterthought How to reclaim control over your time, priorities, and energy this summer Work with me: Ambitious & Balanced: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/ambitiousandbalanced Book your Break Free From Stress Strategy Call (with free Quiz!): www.ambitiousandbalanced.com/break-free-from-stress Referenced podcast episode on “If, Then Commitments”: https://youtu.be/Ib7LjGFtybM?si=XxYQ238eonZ1dJ5F
