Through honest conversations, real-life examples, and practical resets, you’ll learn how to plan your week in a way that feels realistic, flexible, and calm.

    [278] Running on Fumes? Try a Minimum Viable Week With These 3 Simple Anchors

    Send me a text I’m talking to you today if your energy is low and you feel like you can only do the bare minimum. I saw it loud and clear in my weekly email poll—almost 39% of moms said low energy is what throws their week off first. So instead of trying to force a “perfect” week, I’m sharing a simple baseline called a minimum viable week. It’s built on three anchors that hold your week up even when you’re running on fumes. Mentioned in this episode: 👉 Sunday Prep Workbook Plus: https://go.realhappymom.com/sunday-prep-workbook-special/ 3 Takeaways from this episode: When your energy is low, you don’t need a complicated plan—you need a simple baseline that keeps your week from collapsing.A minimum viable week uses three anchors (prep, hotspot, refill) so you can plan softer instead of pushing harder.Your refill anchor matters because your week won’t feel steady if you’re trying to run it with zero fuel.Support the show

    [277] Tired of Proving Yourself? A Quiet 2026 Plan for Family Focus and Peace

    Send me a text This episode came straight from a real conversation I had with my mom after our early family Christmas—when she asked what was next for me, career-wise. I told her clearly that I don’t want to open my own practice, even if that’s what people expect “the next step” to be. What I want right now looks quiet and honestly a little “boring” on paper: I want to be present with my family, soak up my kids while they’re still here with me, and take care of myself. If you’re heading into 2026 feeling pressure to climb, prove, or impress, I want you to know it’s okay if your dreams are quieter in this season. 3 Takeaways from this episode: You don’t have to chase the “next step” just because it looks like the logical move to other people.A quiet season is still a meaningful season—especially when it centers your family and your wellbeing.The only goals that matter are the ones you feel good about, not the ones that impress others.Support the show

    [REPLAY] Sunday Reset Live: Letting Things Go

    Send me a text This week, I’m helping you lighten the mental load before Monday even gets here by closing some of those “open tabs” in your brain. I’m sharing why overwhelm usually isn’t from having too much to do, but from having too much that hasn’t been decided or released. I’m walking you through three simple buckets—not this week, not mine to carry, and not necessary—so you can stop dragging extra weight into the new week. And I’m reminding you that you don’t need a brand-new you… you just need a few clear decisions that give you room to breathe.  Mentioned in this episode: Sunday Prep Workbook+: https://www.realhappymom.com/reset 3 Takeaways from this episode: Overwhelm grows when you keep “unfinished decisions” open—closing loops is often more powerful than adding another to-do.If it’s important but not urgent, put it in not this week so you can protect your energy for what actually matters now.When something feels loud and urgent, pause and ask: “Is this truly necessary, or is it just noise?” Support the show
