Summary

As a mother of four and a self-proclaimed micromanaging - perfectionist - martyr, I constantly need to be reminded that control leaves me lonely, perfection can paralyze me, and caring for others over myself leads to resentment. Join me as I try to navigate being a structure-luvin' gal, in an absolutely chaotic household.

    A random 4AM thought led me down an unexpected path: what if families had their own version of college school spirit? 🎓 In this episode, I reflect on the culture some universities create—and how that same sense of pride, loyalty, and belonging might show up at home. A lighthearted look at parenting, family memories, and the hope that our kids someday feel proud to be alumni of the place they grew up. ❤️
