Millennial Mama Memo Episode 9: May-cember Survival Tips, ADHD Tax, and a $12 Toolkit You Need🌸 Millennial Mama Mix: Lauren opens with a term that might just change how you think about this time of year — May-cember.It's basically December but in May. Mother's Day, teacher appreciation, graduations, summer break incoming, wardrobe overhauls, everyone off their normal. She breaks down why this month is genuinely hard on nervous systems and shares three survival tips: don't schedule the damn appointments in May, guard your free time, and keep your expectations reasonable. Plus a very relatable ADHD tax story that ties right back into last week's good enough mother conversation.🛋️ Pink Couch Post-Its: Couples therapy gets its place in the road trip analogy.If your relationship with your partner is its own road trip and kids add the detours and flat tires — couples therapy is where you figure out how to navigate it together and find your way back to each other.💟 Favorites Folder: The Mom Rage Reset Toolkit by Macie Litchfield (https://www.instagram.com/macielitchfieldcounseling/).
