Sarah covered this topic once before, a few years ago, back when she only had three kids and hadn't built her business into a full time income yet. Since then, life has changed enough that she wanted to revisit it completely: a new toddler, a business she now runs full time, and a whole lot more trial and error about what actually helps versus what just sounds good on paper.
In this episode she opens up honestly about what it's really like to be drained by the people she loves most, then walks through the categories of tips that genuinely make a difference for her, from protecting quiet time and building routines around what specifically overstimulates her, to family-style homeschooling, monthly one-on-one dates with her kids, and guarding her own margin so she isn't running on empty by bedtime. If you've ever felt guilty for needing quiet in a house full of people who need you, this episode will make you feel seen. Share it with a friend who needs to hear she isn't the only one.
