Welcome to Live Well Anyway. I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa. On this podcast, I help you learn how to feel healthy, look good, and plan a life you actually like in the midst of all the everyday chaos. I'm so glad you're here. And today, we're talking all about summer. So we talked about this a little bit

last week. That episode was a little more geared toward work from home moms and the different

kinds of schedules that you can put into place to actually be able to get your work done, but also

be present with your kids. But I think that can apply if you even just have projects you're working on

or things that you're busy with.

So you can go back and listen to that episode if you're interested in trying to figure that out

and maximize your time, but still have a really fun summer that you enjoy.

And then this week we're moving into a show that's a little bit more for everybody, but

definitely still applies to those work from home moms.

And it's the things that we

can be doing and figuring out planning, prepping, getting squared away so that we can enjoy our

summer more. What do we need to be on top of so that we can reduce the stress and the overwhelm

of having the kids home and all the new things that kind of are happening and it's always different

in the summer. You know, everybody's out of their regular routine and all of new things that kind of are happening and it's always different in the summer.

You know, everybody's out of their regular routine.

And all of a sudden, people are wanting to eat all the live long day and everybody's bored and what do you do about it?

So I'm going to talk about some of those logistics and things that we can be working through and figuring out right now. Some of us, I know, like those in the Pacific Northwest up here, we still have a couple of weeks until our kids are out of school for the summer. Now, I know that's not the case for all of you. Some of you have already had your kids out of school for a week already. And if that's the case, I'm so sorry this didn't come to you sooner, but it's not too late. You can still get on top of things and be able to have a really great summer that

isn't just totally chaotic the whole time. We can put things into place to make it more

enjoyable, more well-planned, and just a better experience overall. But before we jump into that

really quickly, I just want to mention

that we would love to have you join us over in Patreon. We've got all kinds of fun things

that happen over there like a book club and minicasts and live videos and digital planning products,
