In today’s episode, I have the pleasure of sitting down with my dear friend, Wynne Elder. As we dive into the topic of transitioning from school to summer with kids, I openly share my past struggles and express my desire for a fun and enjoyable summer for both my children and myself.
Wynne offers valuable advice on how to approach the summer season with intentionality. She shares her own method of creating a summer bucket list with her family, emphasizing the significance of determining what truly matters during the more unstructured months. We explore the benefits of establishing a good rhythm for the summer, setting realistic expectations, and implementing helpful structures and routines. Our conversation highlights the impact of our mindset on our ability to fully embrace and enjoy summer activities, along with practical tips for managing negative thoughts.
Wynne, a Christian life coach, specializes in supporting women who strive to strike a balance between working from home and being dedicated parents. As a mother herself, she has come to deeply appreciate the preciousness of time and the importance of cherishing every moment. Guided by her understanding of seasons and cycles, Wynee firmly believes that each season holds its own unique beauty, just as every moment spent with our loved ones is a treasure. Her story serves as a reminder to savor each passing moment and to embrace the various seasons of life with gratitude.
