241. Mindset Reset: Creating Structure & Systems That Bring You Peace As A Working Mom

Hi Mamas,

This week’s Monday Mindset is for every working mom staring at a calendar that looks like a box of crayons exploded all over it… sports schedules, surprise school projects, last-minute permission slips, and the never-ending “Mama, what’s for dinner?” loop.

If your brain feels like it’s running 47 tabs (and one of them is blasting mystery YouTube music you can’t find)… you’re not alone.

This week, we’re grounding ourselves in one simple but powerful reminder:

💭 “You can’t control the chaos, but you can create structure that brings peace.”

Inside This Episode, We’ll Talk About:
✔️ Why chaos is unavoidable… and why that’s okay
✔️ How simple structures (not perfection) can change how your week feels
✔️ The real reason a shared system lightens your mental load
✔️ Practical, low-stress ways to get your family on the same page
✔️ How to create rhythms that protect your energy and peace

Because mama, the goal isn’t to make life perfect… it’s to make it doable… with room to breathe, be present, and actually enjoy the people you’re working so hard for.

💛 This Week’s Mindset Challenge:

✅ Pick one small area of your week to bring more structure to.

• Print and post your meal plan on the fridge (grab my free Meal Planning Made Easy guide for a pretty template!)
• Create or update a shared calendar with your partner and older kids
• Designate a drop spot for all school papers to keep them from multiplying on your counters

✅ Ask yourself: Does this give me peace?
If it does… keep going. If it feels like pressure, tweak it until it works for you.

Remember: Structure isn’t one more thing on your to-do list… it’s a tool that takes things off your to-do list.
