Letting Go of Summer Mom Guilt and Finding Joy in the Present Moment

It’s July already! How did that happen? In this mid-summer episode, Leanna’s taking a break from the summer interview series to check in and reflect on what this season has looked and felt like so far. She shares how she intentionally restructured her summer to allow more time with her daughter (while still studying for a major coaching exam, taking an online course, training for a triathlon, and taking an improv class for fun!), and why presence has become a central theme lately. You’ll hear about: Why summer can feel especially hard for working moms The myth of being “100% present, 100% of the time” What she learned about presence from improv How Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps explain the inner pressure to always be doing more Simple ways to ground yourself and come back to the moment This is your gentle mid-summer reminder that presence is a gift, perfection isn’t the goal, and it’s okay to take a breath and just be where you are.
