The 3W Podcast: Kasie Yokley talks about Maycember

Maycember is real, and if you’ve ever stared at your calendar wondering how 12 events landed in one week, we’re right there with you. We’re talking straight from the messy middle of the end-of-school-year sprint: field trips for every grade, sports banquets, award ceremonies, teacher appreciation, spirit days, graduation parties and the nonstop “friendly reminder” emails that somehow turn into “last call” overnight.We also get honest about the emotional side. May isn’t just chaotic, it’s tender, because routines end and kids change right in front of you. One minute we’re proud and grateful, the next minute we’re crying in the carline or tearing up over seniors we don’t even know. We dig into why closures hit our brains so hard and how parenting a teen who’s suddenly gone all weekend can feel like a preview of bigger goodbyes ahead.Then we shift into survival mode with practical, doable coping strategies. We share how we manage decision fatigue, why “good enough” meals count as a win and how micro breaks can keep you steady when you’re tapped out. For us, that looks like short daily prayer, letting go of perfection, and blasting a car concert loud enough to reset the whole day. If Maycember has you feeling behind, you’re not alone.Subscribe for more real-life talk, share this with a fellow Maycember parent, and leave a review so more people can find us. What’s your go-to reset when May gets too loud?
