Overcoming Mid-Summer Malaise: Episode 14



Well, we’ve reached THAT point in the summer. The one where you have no idea what day it is and your kids eat Otter Pops and Nutella-straight-from-the-jar for breakfast (and if you think we’re exaggerating, just WAIT). In Episode 14, Meagan and Sarah talk all about mid-summer malaise, why the freedom and easy-breeziness of early summer can lead to chaos, and how to gently get yourself – and your kids – back on track. We also catch up about all kinds of miscellany going on in our lives lately – including the rare chance we got to hang out in person recently!

    hey meagan,
    this episode sounds great….but there is no play button, and I don’t have an apple device, so I cannot listen. The same problem happens on a few old podcast, can you correct it. Thank you!!!
    i can wait to listen to you again, this is my ”me time” of the week
