What our family does so summer doesn't fall apart

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

We’re moving into summer fast. The school routine is gone, work is a little slower, and “flexible” can quickly turn into chaos.

I’ve coached enough women through the summer slide to know that without some structure in place, June momentum becomes August exhaustion. The kids notice. So does your calendar and your bank account.

Our son is launched, but Steve and I still build a summer rhythm on purpose. It’s intentional, just the way I like it.

Here’s what we actually do:

Sunday meal prep based on the food inventory we already have and factoring in our travel plans
French press and devotional before my phone, every morning
One reverse errand session each week: donation drop off, recycle electronics, mail packages, return items that belong to friends, drop off muffins to my neighbor's kids who love them, you get the idea. Stuff leaves the house...every. single. week.
Exercise blocked on the calendar like a client appointment, three times a week
Sunday at church when we're not traveling - non-negotiable

I'm not trying to do more in the summer. I'm eliminating decision fatigue with some simple routines and habit stacks.

I have six habits that make the biggest difference for my family and my clients.

Pick one. Start there.

Your calendar reflects your values.

What do you see?

P.S. If your summer rhythm is already showing cracks, that’s the messy middle. It’s exactly what we work on inside 1:1 coaching.

The vacation that proves my business works

Hey Reader, Next week I'm taking ten days off. And for the first time in a long time, I'm not dreading the leaving part. Two years ago, I nearly closed this business. I wrote about that here. So it means something that this week, everything is tucked in. My clients are cared for. They know I'll be checking Voxer and text in the evenings, not on demand. And then I'm gone. It reminds me of my corporate days — when I'd hand things off knowing the work would hold without me hovering over it. I...

I almost closed my business

Hey Reader, There's a version of this story where I walk away. Where the weight of everything — a father's cancer diagnosis, my in-laws' failing health, my son's near-fatal accident, a business I'd spread too thin — becomes too much. Where I decide the most responsible thing I can do is quit and focus on my family. I almost told that version of the story. I'm so glad I didn't. By the summer of 2024, I'd been in business eight years and I was spread thin across too many offers. Then my dad was...

You can't start with someone else's stuff

Hey Reader, I sold my son's blue whale at a yard sale. He was little. It was in the pile. A young child picked it up, and I let it go for a quarter while Zack watched with tears in his eyes. Thankfully, he doesn't remember it. But I will never forget it. And I don't wish that on anyone. Here's what most people get wrong about decluttering and what our clients get wrong too. They start with someone else's stuff. The kids' toys. Hubby's hat collection. The boxes that were never theirs in the...
