Back to School, Back to Chaos — But Still Here

from Getting Through Today · host Brita Bigler Peterson

Episode 29: So… I was planning to drop a fun back-to-school episode weeks ago. I recorded it. I edited it. I was proud of it.And then… my hard drive died.Gone. Just like my last ounce of chill.But that ended up being the least chaotic part of this season.In today’s episode, I’m catching you up on all the behind-the-scenes life stuff — the messy, raw, unfiltered version. I’m talking caregiving, motherhood, health curveballs (hello, diverticulitis), navigating midlife hormones, grief over how fast our kids grow up, and trying to stay soft and present when everything feels like a lot.This is me easing back into the podcast after a long, unplanned pause — not with answers or a tidy comeback plan, but with honesty, heart, and a whole lot of compassion for anyone else who's just been trying to get through today.If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been — or if life has handed you your own bingo card of chaos lately — this one’s for you.
