Summary

I stood at the stove the other night, and in the span of ten minutes, I was asked where the charger was, where the batteries are kept, and where the headphones went. And I thought, why am I the only person in this house who knows where anything is? It's not that my kids are incapable. It's that my home isn't set up in a way that lets them help themselves. Everything requires me—finding things, remembering where things are kept, managing everyone's ability to function in our space. And that is exhausting. But what if your home could actually lighten your load instead of adding to it? What if the setup of your space could reduce the friction, the yelling, the constant need for you to be the only one who knows where things are? That's what today's conversation is about—thinking of your home as your parenting partner. In this episode, you'll learn: 🏡 Why your home might be working against you (and the small shifts that help it work with you instead) 🏡 The one question to ask during a meltdown that changes everything 🏡 How to identify the hotspot in your home that's draining your energy most (and what to do about it!)If you're heading into this new year wanting to lighten your mental load just a little bit, this episode is a great place to start.

0:00.0	I have to tell you, my first night using my new bed sheets from Bull and Branch, oh my goodness.
0:05.3	The moment I slid into bed, I actually sighed in delight. They were so soft, so breathable,
0:11.5	like my whole body could finally exhale. I hadn't realized how scratchy and worn my old
0:17.2	sheets had gotten until I felt the difference. And here's what surprised me most. They
0:22.3	haven't gotten scruffier over time. Bull and branch signature sheets are made to get softer with
0:27.2	every wash, which still kind of blows my mind. They're woven by artisans with the finest 100%
0:32.8	organic cotton. If you're running on fumes this January and winter feels impossibly long, your bed might be
0:39.2	the one place you can create real restoration, and you deserve that. Discover a softness beyond your
0:45.1	wildest dreams with Bowling Branch. Get 15% off your first set of sheets plus free shipping at
0:51.0	bowl and branch.com slash 3 and 30 with code 3 and 30. That's

1:04.0	Exclusion supply. If you're starting 2026 carrying a bunch of expectations that don't
1:08.9	actually fit you, the kind that make you feel guilty
1:11.5	or resentful or just exhausted. I want to tell you about my motherhood decluttered course.
1:17.8	It's 10 short audio lessons, just two hours total, plus a workbook that walks you through
1:22.7	three simple steps. First, inventory all the expectations and mental load you're carrying in your
1:28.3	motherhood. Second, edit out what doesn't spark joy or match your values. And third, make room
1:34.5	for the things that actually matter to you and your family. I personally return to this work
1:39.7	every year because my life and seasons keep changing. This year, decluttering my motherhood helped me to let
1:45.9	go of screen time guilt with my son, set clearer boundaries around my work hours, and stop caring
1:51.6	about what other adults in my kids' lives think of my parenting decisions. This kind of mental
1:56.9	freedom is so rewarding. So if you're ready to declutter some of that overwhelm and start
