    Are you exhausted by 3 p.m. from all the daily decision-making that comes with being a mom? If you have tweens or teens, you may be carrying more than you realize: reminding, checking, keeping track, solving problems and making sure everyone has what they need. But as your kids grow and become more independent, some of those responsibilities may be ready to shift from your plate to theirs. In this episode, I’ll walk you through four practical steps to decide what your kids are ready to carry and let go of what no longer needs to be yours. You’ll learn how to notice what you’re carrying, decide what your kids are ready to own, have the conversation and use the space you create for something that matters to you. Because letting go doesn’t mean checking out. It can give you more room to be a present mom while also making time for the things that matter to you. Next Steps: Ready to get intentional about your time?
