Everyone else seems fine. So why does this season feel so heavy for you?

Let’s talk about why your emotional experience of summer is valid — and why it’s not your fault.

On today's Take Back Your Summer free, live coaching call, you’ll learn:

• How your nervous system experiences “freedom” as chaos
• Why you feel like you’re failing at something everyone else enjoys
• What’s actually going on when your body wants to tap out before noon

Summer can be a lot when you're sensitive, neurodivergent, or simply wired to experience the world deeply. The lack of routine, constant sensory input, and the pressure to “be fun” can quickly turn what should be a carefree season into a full-blown performance.

But here’s the truth: having a burnout-free summer isn't about changing your mindset or pushing through. What you really need is a softer structure—one that works with your nervous system, not against it.

In this episode, I’m sharing a three-part framework to help you create anchors (not rigid routines), build in buffers for self-regulation, and identify what’s truly "bonus" based on your actual capacity. When you stop performing summer and start structuring it for your specific needs, you create a season you can truly enjoy.
