Summer is a unique season for working moms.
While social media reminds us that we "only get 18 summers" with our kids, many executive moms are simultaneously leading teams, managing projects, running businesses, navigating camp schedules, and juggling childcare logistics. The result? A lot of pressure to make every moment count.
In this final episode of Season 2, Leanna explores how high-achieving women can approach summer with more intention and less pressure. Instead of focusing on creating the perfect summer experience, she invites listeners to focus on something much more powerful: how they want to show up during the moments that matter.
In this episode, you'll learn:
-
Why the "18 summers" narrative can create unnecessary pressure and guilt
-
The difference between controlling external circumstances and choosing how you want to show up
-
How unrealistic expectations often lead to disappointment
-
Practical mindset shifts for staying calm and grounded when things don't go according to plan
-
Why curiosity is more helpful than self-criticism when reflecting on difficult moments
-
How to approach summer intentionally while balancing the realities of work and family life
Plus, Leanna shares a free Summer Guide designed specifically for executive moms who want to approach the season with greater clarity, alignment, and self-compassion.
