The Macro Mindset with Catharine Adams

The Busy Mom's Back-to-School Power Routines: Simple Systems That Actually Stick (Ep. 1.19)

Episode Summary

Today we're tackling something that's probably making your heart race - the back-to-school chaos and how to maintain your healthy habits through it. Through Lisa's story (wait until you hear how this school administrator transformed her morning chaos into power routines!), I'll show you how shifting from perfect routines to power routines can keep you consistent when life gets crazy. Remember when Lisa felt like she had to choose between taking care of herself and managing the back-to-school transition? That journey from overwhelm to organization is exactly what we're exploring. I'm breaking down the psychology of habit stacking and giving you practical tools to build routines that bend without breaking. Because here's what I believe - you don't need perfect conditions to take care of yourself.
