How to Have a Mother's Day You Actually Love

It's the week before Mother's Day, and if you're being honest, the day is already starting to feel like one more thing to manage. This episode is for the mom who has already handled everyone else's Mother's Day gifts, has already coordinated the plans for that day, and is deep in the chaos of May on top of it all.  Lauren gets into why the day so rarely lives up to what we picture, where that expectation even comes from, and four specific things to do before Sunday to actually shape how the day goes. Episode Highlights: Why Mother's Day lands in the worst possible month for moms The reality that a lot of us manage everyone else's Mother's Day for the family The gap between what we picture and what actually happens that day The permission problem: why so many of us wait to be given the green light to rest Tell your husband exactly what you want: not a hint, a specific ask How to talk through Sunday's schedule so there's a window that's actually yours Moving your Sunday to-do list earlier so the day doesn't feel like any other weekend Why the best gift you can give yourself isn't on Mother's Day at all   Connect with Lauren: Instagram: @itslaurenmora Website itslaurenmora.com
