You're in for a special treat today — it's another episode of Coffee & Tea (with M&E): Real Moms Talking About Real Things. I'm joined by Emily McDermott, host of Moms Overcoming Overwhelm, and together we're pulling back the curtain on what our fall has actually looked like so far — the good, the messy, and the "we're figuring it out as we go."

In this episode, we talk about Emily's big move to Pennsylvania and everything that comes with starting over in a new home, new school district, and new business — plus the sleep struggles, the friendship-building from scratch, and why she's learning to unapologetically ask for help. I share what our season looks like with a junior navigating the college prep whirlwind and a middle schooler adjusting to a tough sports decision, and how we've had to pivot more than once already. We also swap tips on staying grounded when everything feels new, why "lowering the bar" might be the best back-to-school strategy there is, and a fun approach to embracing the new season with intention (not just more decor).

So grab your coffee or tea, pull up a chair, and join us for a real, honest conversation about navigating the fall overwhelm — together.

I pray this episode blesses you!

Michelle
