Why structure isn’t solving your overwhelm—and what to do instead

You thought the school routine would fix it.

The quiet house. The clean planner. The return of structure. But here you are—mid-morning, cold coffee in hand—and you're still not feeling like you.

This episode kicks off the Back-to-School Excuses series, where we unpack the smart-sounding thoughts that keep high-capacity moms stuck in survival mode… even when life looks like it should be working.

Inside this episode:

• Why routines don’t regulate your nervous system the way you hoped

• The real reason you feel worse now, not better

• The 5 nervous system survival patterns we’ll explore in this series—and how they’re showing up in your back-to-school life

You don’t need a better system. You need space to feel like yourself again.
