EP473 // The Top 10 School Season Stress Points Every Busy Mom Faces — And How to Fix Them

Welcome back to The Busy Vibrant Mom podcast! I'm your host, Michelle Byrd, and I'm so glad you're here.  Can I ask you something? Does it feel like the moment school started your calendar went from zero to sixty overnight? One minute you are soaking up the last lazy days of summer and the next you are staring down a week packed with drop offs, sports practices, homework battles, and approximately seventeen places you need to be at the same time. I feel this so deeply. There was a season in our family where my husband and I were easily spending five hours a day in the car driving kids to school and sports. Five hours. I want you to know that if you are in that season right now — it does get easier. One day the kids drive themselves and you get your afternoons back. That day is coming. I promise. But right now you are in the thick of it — and today I want to help. I am sharing my top 10 school season friction points and more importantly how to actually fix them. We are talking about morning chaos, homework battles, the 5pm dinner scramble, tech wars, activity logistics, and the secret sauce that holds all of it together. This is a practical one — and I think you are going to walk away with at least two or three things you can try this week.  So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let's dive in Quick Announcement  The doors to the fall group coaching program just closed last week.  If you are bummed that you missed out, we will do another round this spring before summer hits (so mark you calendar).  In the meantime … 1.
