Send us Fan MailSummer can feel magical… and completely overwhelming.If you've ever entered summer excited for memory-making only to find yourself exhausted, overscheduled, constantly buying snacks, and somehow becoming everyone's full-time entertainment coordinator—this episode is for you.In today's episode, I'm sharing the simple summer planning tradition my family lovingly makes fun of me for every single year: our Summer Bucket List Meeting.We sit down together and answer one important question:“What do we want summer to feel like?”And honestly? It changes everything.Instead of ending summer wondering where the time went, we intentionally create a rhythm that supports fun, connection, rest, and realistic expectations for everyone (including mom).I'll walk you through the exact process we use—including our “three rounds” bucket list method—and how to create healthy summer boundaries so you can enjoy the season instead of surviving it.In this episode, we cover: How to create a summer rhythm instead of a rigid schedule The family bucket list system we use every year (yes, the one my kids tease me about ) Questions to ask your kids and spouse before filling the calendar Why asking “What do we want summer to feel like?” matters more than planning every activity Boundaries for moms who feel stretched too thin in summer Why you are not the family entertainment committee How to create more white space without guilt Practical ideas for simple summer fun that kids actually rememberSome of our family summer favorites include:Floating the riverSlurpee runsA random Fortnight day Shakes at Bear LakeCousin sleepoversRock climbing and adventuringMovie nights and spontaneous memory-makingBecause the truth is:Summer doesn't have to be Pinterest-perfect to be meaningful.Sometimes the best memories are simple, silly, and unplanned.Connect with Camille:Instagram: www.instagram.com/CamilleWalker.coCall Me CEO on Instagram: www.instagram.com/callmeceopodcastMyMommyStyle.comSubscribe to Call Me CEO for more episodes!Email: callmeceopodcast@gmail.com

It's way too common for therapists to feel confused and frustrated with their model. Many counselors feel like their models work for some but feel hopeless with certain clients. Worst of all is when therapists feel like a "rent-a-friend" instead of a catalyst for change. I'm Dr. Jordan Harris, and I help therapists move from "lost" to "confident" by mastering the meta-skills of clinical excellence. My approach isn't about learning another model—it's about knowing when and how to use the tools you already have to create deeper, more transformative emotional encounters. In my trainings, we focus on four key pillars: Motivation: Working with (not against) client resistance. Persuasion: Engaging clients so they show up hopeful and ready. Experiencing: Moving past surface-level talk into deep emotional work. Body Language: Reading non-verbal cues for true clinical attunement.

What if reactive homemaking is not a failure of organization, but part of faithful homemaking itself?In this episode, Sarah Middlestead from Convivial Circle shares how Baby Step Bingo helped her realize she had been telling herself false stories about housekeeping, productivity, and what it means to stay on top of things. We talk about proactive homemaking, responsive homemaking, tiny tasks that actually matter, and why noticing and responding might be a more realistic standard for home management than trying to maintain perfect systems.In this episode:Reactive homemaking is not automatically chaotic or irresponsible. Sometimes faithful homemaking simply means noticing what needs attention and responding without turning it into guilt, overwhelm, or another complicated system.You'll learn:   Why proactive homemaking alone creates stress and rigidity   How Baby Step Bingo builds momentum with tiny wins   Why homemakers often turn small tasks into emotional burdens   How “smile and start” changes the atmosphere of your home   Why responsiveness is a legitimate homemaking skillBest next step:Join the free Smile & Start Challenge: [LINK]If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your house, frustrated by systems that never stick, or discouraged because you can't “stay on top of everything,” this conversation will help you rethink consistency and progress in homemaking.We discuss:proactive vs reactive homemakingChristian homemaking mindsethomemaking routinesovercoming overwhelmperfectionism in homemakingbaby steps for homemakersweekly review habitsrealistic home managementhomemaking systemscheerful productivitynoticing and respondingtransformation 10ssmile and startRelated resources:Mom's Weekly Review: [LINK]Daily Card Challenge: [LINK]Convivial Circle: [LINK]Related playlist: [LINK]

Is time really standing between you and freedom with food?"I just don't have time for a program like this.” Sound familiar? That's that little voice in your head trying to keep you safe—but it's actually keeping you stuck. Have you ever considered that binge eating isn't just a food problem, but a "time thief" quietly stealing your life's most valuable resource? In this week's episode, we're shifting from the "Problem Frame" of being too busy to the "Solution Frame" of how you can actually "manufacture" more time by mastering the right tools. I share the story of my student Hannah, a busy wife and mother who was convinced she was tapped out on time. But once she focused on the right skills, the ripple effect was so huge her friends started asking, "How do you have 28 hours in a day?" Imagine waking up with that kind of presence and intention instead of heavy food noise. We're also pulling back the curtain on the "unknown threats" to your productivity: the hours spent feeling sluggish, sleeping off a binge, or beating yourself up. You'll learn why willpower feels so heavy and how to swap it for the "unconscious competence" of three core skills: self-compassion, flexibility, and commitment. This episode is the perfect lead-up to the 90 Second Craving Reset…my brand new free 5-day live experience. If you're a "hell yes" on reclaiming your life, how COULD you find just 30 minutes a day to change everything? Ready to see a clear path to freedom? Join us at reshandayates.com/resetP.S. Remember, time is going to pass anyway. The only question is: will you spend it stuck in the cycle, or will you invest 5 days to gain back a lifetime of peace? Did you enjoy the episode?  DM me on instagram and let me know what you thought.

Summer break is here, but let's be real, mama , it's not just a break, it's a setup.If we're not intentional, our kids can fall into habits that are hard to break, too much screen time, no structure, and days filled with just “passing time.” And while rest is important, idle time without direction can lead to lost learning, poor habits, and unnecessary exposure.In this episode of the Pursue HER Podcast, we're having a real conversation about summer learning loss, idle kids, and why structure still matters, even when school is out.And listen, this is not about being the perfect mom.This is for the mom who is working, managing a household, and trying to figure it all out without a big budget or a full summer plan.I'm giving you practical, affordable, and realistic strategies to help your kids stay engaged, continue learning, and actually grow this summer.Because your kids don't just need a break,  they need direction.

It's way too common for therapists to feel confused and frustrated with their model. Many counselors feel like their models work for some but feel hopeless with certain clients. Worst of all is when therapists feel like a "rent-a-friend" instead of a catalyst for change. I'm Dr. Jordan Harris, and I help therapists move from "lost" to "confident" by mastering the meta-skills of clinical excellence. My approach isn't about learning another model—it's about knowing when and how to use the tools you already have to create deeper, more transformative emotional encounters. In my trainings, we focus on four key pillars: Motivation: Working with (not against) client resistance. Persuasion: Engaging clients so they show up hopeful and ready. Experiencing: Moving past surface-level talk into deep emotional work. Body Language: Reading non-verbal cues for true clinical attunement.

Why do kids struggle so much with time management — and why does it often turn into stress, meltdowns, and constant reminders for moms?In this episode, Lori sits down with Mindy Hudon, a speech-language pathologist with more than 30 years of experience helping children with communication and executive function challenges. Mindy is the co-owner of Achieve Speech & Language Services, the creator of the Bee A Time Keeper® clock, and the award-winning author of Kodi's Adventures: How I Learned to Defeat the Time Snatcher.Together, they discuss: Why many children are “time blind”  How executive function impacts planning, transitions, and routines  Why kids may not actually be ignoring you  How visual tools can reduce anxiety and help children self-manage  The connection between ADHD and time management struggles  Practical ways moms can teach kids independence without constant nagging  Simple strategies to make mornings, transitions, and routines easier If you've ever felt frustrated trying to get everyone out the door on time, this episode will help you better understand what's really happening — and give you practical tools you can start using right away.

ADHD symptoms can be easy to miss — even when you're someone who knows a lot about ADHD. Kim Holderness shares her adult ADHD diagnosis and the complicated feelings that came with it.  Kim felt embarrassed and like a fraud. For years, she assumed her anxiety and emotional ups and downs were simply part of the very real load many busy moms carry. Kim and Penn Holderness — creators, authors, and the couple behind the Holderness Family — have long been surrounded by ADHD in their life and work. In a quick, sweet cameo, Penn (who also has ADHD) shares how he supports Kim in practical ways, like handling paperwork and day-to-day logistics.

It's way too common for therapists to feel confused and frustrated with their model. Many counselors feel like their models work for some but feel hopeless with certain clients. Worst of all is when therapists feel like a "rent-a-friend" instead of a catalyst for change. I'm Dr. Jordan Harris, and I help therapists move from "lost" to "confident" by mastering the meta-skills of clinical excellence. My approach isn't about learning another model—it's about knowing when and how to use the tools you already have to create deeper, more transformative emotional encounters. In my trainings, we focus on four key pillars: Motivation: Working with (not against) client resistance. Persuasion: Engaging clients so they show up hopeful and ready. Experiencing: Moving past surface-level talk into deep emotional work. Body Language: Reading non-verbal cues for true clinical attunement.

Today we're doing a live coaching session with a busy working mom who is navigating a lot in this season of life. Her husband travels often, she's handling long days with her baby, and she's trying to figure out how to take care of herself again without feeling like she has to go all in. She worked with Coryn before having her baby and felt amazing, but after pregnancy, motherhood, stress, and a completely different schedule, she's ready to start again — in a way that actually fits her life now. In this episode, we talk through what it looks like to lose weight when you're overwhelmed, tired, and already doing so much. We break down why consistency can feel so hard as a busy mom, how stress can impact your metabolism, and why your workouts and nutrition may need to look different in this season. We also talk about simple places to start — like high protein meals, realistic workouts, hydration, sleep, and small habit changes that can help you feel better without overhauling your whole life. And whether you're on a GLP-1, thinking about a GLP-1, or not using weight loss drugs at all, this conversation will help you see why the basics still matter: protein, strength training, consistency, and taking care of your body in a way you can actually sustain. *************************** NEXT STEPS:  And right now, we're offering buy 1 coaching call, get 1 free

If you've ever talked yourself out of a hobby because you don't have enough time, it's not productive enough, or it just doesn't "count" — this one's for you. Monica and Sarah Hart-Unger get real about why personal growth and self-care for mothers has to include joy, not just optimization. They break down the cultural guilt that keeps women from allowing themselves fun, why your daily habits don't need to include a polished, passionate pursuit to qualify, and how a little self-compassion goes a long way when you're just trying to feel like yourself again. If you want to know how to be happier without a major life overhaul, the answer might be simpler — and a lot more fun — than you think. Dabble, friends. Just dabble.

Hey friends- Summer is coming, and with it usually comes a shift in rhythm. The structure of the school year starts to loosen, schedules change, and it can feel like things get a little more reactive at home. In this episode, I'm walking you through the monthly calendar reset I've been using in my own home. It's not perfect, and it might not all be for you—but it's helped me stay a step ahead instead of constantly playing catch up. I share how I gather everything going on for the month, build it into my calendar in a way that actually accounts for real life, and then make it visible for my family so we're not scrambling day to day. I also talk through why I look for white space in our weeks, and how I use a simple weekly reset to feel more prepared going into each week. This isn't about doing it “right” or adding more to your plate. It's just one way to create a little more structure so your home can feel more supported—especially heading into summer. If things have been feeling a little scattered lately, or you're trying to get ahead before schedules shift, I hope this gives you a place to start.

Hi Mamas,  Paper clutter has a way of taking over your home… fast.  The mail on the counter…  School papers in backpacks…  Receipts, bills, and forms…  And those random piles that seem to multiply overnight.  Even when everything else feels organized… paper clutter can still create stress, visual chaos, and mental overload.  In this episode, I'm sharing a simple paper management system for working moms so you can declutter paper, organize important documents, and stop the piles before they start.  When you create a paper system:  You stop losing important documents   You reduce mental load   You save time searching for things   Your home feels calmer and more organized   This episode will help you create a simple workflow for managing mail, school papers, bills, and kids artwork… without spending hours organizing.    In This Episode  How to stop paper clutter in your home   The “touch it once” rule for paper   Simple mail and school paper organization   What papers to keep vs. throw away   How to digitize documents and go paperless   Easy filing system for busy moms   Organizing kids artwork and school papers   Creating a family command center   Weekly paper reset routine  

Hey hey beautiful human! This one is for the mom who made it through the newborn stage, finally feels like herself again, and is still somehow struggling to stay consistent with her health and fitness. Because here is what nobody tells you. The school age years are their own kind of hard. Your schedule is no longer just yours to manage. It is dictated by school start times, pickup windows, sick days, and a never ending stream of things that need your attention right now. And the strategies that worked before kids, or even in early postpartum, were never designed for this season. So if you have been blaming your discipline, stop. This is not a you problem. It is a season problem. And in this episode I am giving you three practical systems for staying consistent when your schedule belongs almost entirely to everyone else. What's Discussed: Why this is a season problem and not a discipline problem The definition of consistency that is making women in this season feel like they are failing when they are actually not How to anchor your workout to something that already exists in your day Why shrinking your workout before skipping it changes everything Why the movement that does not look like a workout counts more than you think What to take away from today and how to stop letting a disrupted week convince you to quit Ready to find a program that makes it easy to show up consistently even on the weeks when life is full?

Welcome back to The Busy Vibrant Mom podcast! I'm your host, Michelle Byrd — and I'm so glad you're here.  If you've ever tried to follow a productivity system that worked beautifully for someone else… but completely fell apart in your real life, this episode is for you. So many busy moms and working women are doing their best to balance work, family, and the things they care deeply about—yet still feel frustrated when the to-do list never ends and the time never feels like enough. We're ambitious, creative, and capable… and often way too hard on ourselves when we don't get it all done. Today, I'm joined by a special guest, Jessie Kwak, and I'm so excited to share this conversation with you. Jessie is an author, storyteller, business book ghostwriter, and book coach living in Portland, Oregon. She's written everything from thriller novels to sci-fi crime series, along with several productivity books—including From Chaos to Creativity and From Big Idea to Book. At her core, Jessie loves telling stories and helping others learn how to tell their own. In this episode, Jessie and I talk about why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to productivity, how to stop being overly ambitious with your time, and why understanding your own energy and productivity style matters so much—especially in busy seasons. We also dig into practical ideas like outsourcing household tasks, shifting from “should” to “could,” saying no without guilt, and making consistent progress on meaningful work—even if you only have 30 minutes at a time. This is a refreshing, honest conversation about doing less, choosing better, and creating space for what matters most—without burning yourself out. So grab your coffee or tea, settle in, and let's dive in.   Contact Info for Jessie Kwak: Website: https://www.story-rebel.com IG: @story_rebel   Quick Announcement  We have some fun things coming up.   -The Mom's Spring Break Bundle (26 resources for $27) Ending April 30th https://strideproductivity.thrivecart.com/moms-spring-break-bundle/?affiliate=renew_conference - Free Summit 4/20-4/24- Calm Connected Parenting Summit: https://link.calmconnectionparent.com/ccp-2026/byrd - Other things: lots of new podcast guests to keep the episodes interesting, introduce you to some amazing new people, and learn something new along the way.  New website almost done - planning some fun ways to celebrate!    I pray this episode blesses you!
