What Every Overwhelmed Mom Needs to Know About Back-to-School Stress
Back-to-school season brings a lot of pressure—and honestly, there’s something nobody’s really telling us about the stress it causes.
After helping hundreds of overwhelmed moms navigate this crazy transition, I’ve discovered a truth that changes everything:
Back-to-school overwhelm isn’t about getting the perfect schedule or checking every box. It’s actually about how our energy and mindset are wired for the season.
Let me break this down...
What Most People Think:
If I just plan everything perfectly, the stress will disappear.
Keeping busy and distracted is the best way to manage overwhelm.
If I’m yelling or snapping, it means I’m failing as a mom.
The Reality I’ve Discovered:
A flexible, grounded energy actually creates space for calm—even when schedules shift.
Mindful resets and spiritual connection lead to lasting peace beyond the chaos.
Showing up with awareness and compassion, especially for ourselves, transforms the entire family dynamic.
Here’s why this matters so much...
When you understand this truth, you stop:
✗ Trying to control every little detail that’s out of your hands
✗ Using distractions like scrolling or binge-watching Netflix to cope
✗ Beating yourself up over moments of frustration or yelling
And start:
✓ Cultivating energy and nervous system resilience that keeps you steady
✓ Building simple, spiritual habits that recharge and refocus you
✓ Creating deeper connection with your kids through presence, not perfection
I watched this shift happen for my client Jenna:
"Before working together, back-to-school felt like a storm I couldn’t control. Now, I feel more grounded, less reactive, and I actually enjoy the chaos in a new way."
She went from overwhelmed and drained to calm and confident in just six weeks.
The best part? This transformation isn’t a one-off.
I’ve seen this shift happen again and again when overwhelmed moms learn to work with their energy instead of against it.
That’s exactly why I’ve spent the last few months developing a complete system to help you make this shift with ease. No more guesswork, no more overwhelm.
Mark your calendar for August 18! I’ll be sharing something BRAND NEW designed specifically to help you reclaim your peace and power this Back-to-School season.
