Summer can feel magical… and completely overwhelming.

If you’ve ever entered summer excited for memory-making only to find yourself exhausted, overscheduled, constantly buying snacks, and somehow becoming everyone’s full-time entertainment coordinator—this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the simple summer planning tradition my family lovingly makes fun of me for every single year: our Summer Bucket List Meeting.

We sit down together and answer one important question:

“What do we want summer to feel like?”

And honestly? It changes everything.

Instead of ending summer wondering where the time went, we intentionally create a rhythm that supports fun, connection, rest, and realistic expectations for everyone (including mom).

I’ll walk you through the exact process we use—including our “three rounds” bucket list method—and how to create healthy summer boundaries so you can enjoy the season instead of surviving it.

In this episode, we cover:

How to create a summer rhythm instead of a rigid schedule
The family bucket list system we use every year (yes, the one my kids tease me about )
Questions to ask your kids and spouse before filling the calendar
Why asking “What do we want summer to feel like?” matters more than planning every activity
Boundaries for moms who feel stretched too thin in summer
Why you are not the family entertainment committee
How to create more white space without guilt
Practical ideas for simple summer fun that kids actually remember

Some of our family summer favorites include:

• Floating the river
• Slurpee runs
• A random Fortnight day
• Shakes at Bear Lake
• Cousin sleepovers
• Rock climbing and adventuring
• Movie nights and spontaneous memory-making

Because the truth is:

Summer doesn’t have to be Pinterest-perfect to be meaningful.

Sometimes the best memories are simple, silly, and unplanned.

What does it really look like to build a business while raising a family?

In this episode of Call Me CEO, I’m joined by Ashley Ortiz, founder and CEO of Bella Vista Painting, a woman- and minority-owned, family-run painting company she built alongside her husband in the Pacific Northwest.

But this isn’t a highlight reel conversation.

Ashley shares the behind-the-scenes reality of building her business from the ground up—working full-time jobs, bringing her kids to job sites, and navigating the overwhelming season of doing everything herself.

We talk about the turning point that shifted her out of survival mode, how hiring the right support changed everything, and what it actually takes to build a business that creates both income and presence.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, stuck doing it all, or unsure how to grow without burning out… this episode will give you both perspective and practical next steps.

Your business was supposed to create time freedom, not a never-ending to-do list that follows you into nights and weekends. I’m Camille from CamilleWalker.co, a mom of four who’s built an online business for 14 years, and I’m sharing the delegation framework I use to help overwhelmed entrepreneurs step into the CEO role and finally get their time back.

We start with the real reason so many founders feel stuck: when you’re doing emails, admin, social media, customer service, scheduling, and content all at once, everything feels urgent and nothing feels done. I walk you through a simple time audit that shows exactly where your week goes, then we sort your work into repeat tasks, energy-draining tasks, and the “only I can do this” tasks. You’ll also learn my shoulder-above versus shoulder-below filter so you can protect the work that requires your voice, face, and decision making while outsourcing the rest.

Then we get tactical about hiring a virtual assistant as your first support hire, even if you only start with 3 to 5 hours a week. I share where to find VA candidates, how to write a clear job description, and how to onboard with tools like Trello, Asana, or ClickUp plus simple SOPs and a communication rhythm that builds trust. If you want a calmer schedule, a stronger team, and a business that can actually scale, hit play, subscribe, and share this with a friend, then leave a five star review so more moms can find it.
