from The Momentum Podcast · host Tanya Valentine
School’s out and the chaos has officially begun. If you’re already hearing “I’m bored” on repeat and wondering how you’re going to make it through the next couple of months without losing your mind—this episode is for you. I’m joined by my hilarious and honest friend (and fellow mom/podcaster) Katie Fenske, and we’re keeping it real about what summer break actually looks like in our homes. We’re talking snacks, screen time, mom guilt, and why we’re done trying to be cruise directors for our kids every day. We’re also sharing the little mindset shifts that are helping us lower the bar in the best way—and why it’s okay if your big summer plan is just “keep everyone alive and fed.” ✨PLUS—we have a fun new announcement! We’ve created something called Mom Camp: Your Summer Survival Guide—and you’re invited! It’s totally free, and it’s our way of helping you feel more supported, less alone, and way more sane this summer. In this episode: Real talk about the highs and lows of summer break Why “fun mom” energy is overrated What we’re letting go of (and what’s actually working) A rapid-fire “Would You Rather: Summer Mom Edition” The scoop on our new project: Mom Camp! 📩 Want in on Mom Camp?
