It’s that magical (and chaotic) time of year when school’s out, the sunscreen is everywhere, and moms everywhere are chasing that elusive “perfect summer.” In this honest and hilarious episode, the hosts share the toys they regret buying, their latest “mom fails,” and how summer break can sometimes feel more stressful than restful. Caitlin opens up about her own experience resisting the urge to overplan, while Charlotte, Kallie, and Megan reflect on how childhood memories are made in the smallest, most spontaneous moments.

Later, they’re joined by special guest Michelle Grosser, certified trauma-informed life coach and host of the Alive and Well Podcast. Michelle shares practical tips for managing summer burnout and how to embrace a mindset shift—from pressure and perfectionism to presence and peace.

From nostalgic summer stories to real talk about parenting guilt, this is the reminder all moms need: your kids don’t need a “Pinterest-perfect” summer… they just need you.
