314: The Art of Coming Back to Center (And Letting Go of Perfection)

Spring break was full — in the best ways. Slower mornings, more time together, spontaneous adventures, and long days with the kids that reminded me just how much I love being their mom. It was joyful, grounding, and a little messy — the kind of week that pulls you out of your usual rhythm and into the heart of real life. And when it ended, I noticed something familiar: that slightly scattered, overstimulated feeling that can come after a stretch of full, beautiful days.

In this episode, I share how I’ve been coming back to center after a week I genuinely loved. I talk about what I’ve been learning from the book How to Do Nothing, how my relationship with my phone continues to evolve, and why presence isn’t about getting it perfect — it’s about returning to yourself, again and again, in the middle of real life.
