182: How to Stop Yelling Before 8 AM (The Launch Pad System)

Mornings don’t have to feel chaotic, rushed, or exhausting.
If you’re tired of repeating yourself, hunting for shoes, and carrying every school detail in your head, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Diana shares a simple but powerful system called the launch pad, a practical way to reduce morning stress, help kids build independence, and create calmer starts to the school day without perfection or Pinterest pressure.
