254. How To Mentally Shut Down From Work At The End Of The Day (So You Don't Bring It Home With You)

Hi Mamas,

This week’s episode is for every working mom who’s ever tried to enjoy dinner with her family while mentally rewriting an email or replaying a meeting in her head. 🙋‍♀️ (Yes, guilty over here too!)

The problem? Our brains crave closure. If a task or conversation feels unfinished, it follows us home. That’s why even after you “clock out,” your mind is still spinning. But there are intentional ways to reset… so you can show up fully at home and give your best energy to what matters most.

Inside This Episode, We’ll Talk About: ✔️ Why presence at home starts with presence at work ✔️ My personal end-of-day shutdown routine that helps me truly clock out ✔️ How to use a “fake commute” when you work from home to transition your brain ✔️ The power of gratitude, mindful arrival, and evening rituals to create closure ✔️ What to do when stressful moments at work linger in your head all night

Because mama, you don’t get a medal for answering emails at 9:47 p.m… but you will remember bedtime stories, Friday night pizza, and laughing with your family. Work is part of your story, but it isn’t the whole book.
