“Life will always be chaotic, but you can own your calm within the chaos.”Finding calm in chaos is a skill set we have to learn. Constant chaos in our lives leads to stress/overwhelm and, typically, everyone around us suffers too. I'm so excited about today’s interview with Jenna Hermans, the author of Chaos to Calm: Five Ways Busy Parents Can Break Free from Overwhelm. She’s an expert on helping parents move away from chaos and into calmness so that we can all create intentional lives that allow each member of the family to thrive. In this conversation, we talk about the "Five Pillars of Calm", the importance of communication, how Jenna has calmed her chaos and more.-----------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityBook: Why We Sleep by Matthew WalkerPodcast: Dr. Matthew Walker: The Science & Practice of Perfecting Your Sleep | Huberman Lab Podcast #31Connect with Jenna:WebsiteInstagramBook: Chaos to CalmView the entire shownotes page.Enjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.
