I’m excited to bring you this bonus episode with my friend Michelle Byrd from The Busy Vibrant Mom podcast and a regular guest on Moms Overcoming Overwhelm.

It’s the eleventh episode of Coffee and Tea with M&E!

We talk about what didn’t work this week, how we pivoted, what things we are excited about, and things that made us laugh!

Grab your coffee or tea, pull up a chair, and join us as we chat about: ✨ Strategies for keeping your sanity and getting work done when kids are home unexpectedly (hello, snow days!)

✨ Creating a loose plan and structure NOW for the summer if you can’t do the full-time camp thing

✨ Helping kids navigate transitions, like new schools or moving

Hope you enjoy this honest conversation between two moms who GET IT!

Robyn asks: “My kids’ clothes need downsized. I can’t seem to get all the clothes clean so I can go through it all and get rid of a bunch.

Do your parents or in-laws bring Dollar Store toys every time they visit? Do they bring toys from your childhood as gifts for your kids? Do you feel guilty letting go of gifts because you’re worried about dishonoring your loved ones? In this episode, I’m chatting with Khrystyne Jaspers - a wife, mom of two, and a small space coach living in a one bedroom in Manhattan. We talk about all things gift-giving - how to navigate conversations with “generous” loved ones, how to approach decluttering with kids, ideas for consumable and experience gifts, and much more! About Khrystyne: Khrystyne has spent her entire adult life in one bedroom apartments around the world. As a small space coach, she has taught thousands on the art of mindful living and how to uncover possibility and sustainability no matter the size of your home. She lives in Manhattan with her two kids and husband in a 1 bedroom apartment.
