Summary
In this episode, I talk about why summer needs anchors, not a minute-by-minute plan. As we approach the summer season, it is easy to crave a slower pace, more downtime, and space to breathe, but too much unstructured time can quickly turn into wasted time, frustration, and a feeling that the season is just happening to us. I share how creating a few simple anchors, something productive, something healthy, and something enjoyable or connecting, can help bring shape, intention, and calm to your summer without over-scheduling it. Whether you have teens, younger kids, adult children visiting, or no kids at home, this episode will help you think about what you need this summer and how to plan for a season that feels healthier, calmer, and more connected.
