EPISODE 9: Three Things to Do Before Going Back to School


Even though it’s only the middle of July and schools by me just recently got out, I know many of you, especially in the south, are already preparing yourselves physically and mentally to get back to school.  The struggle is real!  We are playing mental gymnastics here…we want to enjoy our summer, spend time with family, do all the things on our personal “to-do” list, but in the back of our minds, school is calling. 

This is the first part of a mini-series on back to school. In this episode, we will discuss three easy, actionable, and manageable things that you can do now to quiet that nagging voice in the back of your mind.  If you accomplish these 3 things, I believe that you will actually enjoy the end of your summer more because you will feel less stressed overall.   

We will discuss:

  • Your planning calendar
  • First day activities
  • Bulletin Boards (I promise, it will be easy!)

Let’s connect!
