Ep 24: From Overwhelmed to Balanced: How to Stop Carrying the Household Load Alone with Valerie Recore
Description
School’s back in full swing, and while I love settling into a routine, I’ll be honest—it can feel like I’m drowning in busyness. Between work, home, and kids, it often feels like everything is resting on my shoulders to figure out alone. Can you relate?
In today’s episode, I’m joined by productivity coach and certified Fair Play Method facilitator Valerie Recore. This conversation opened my eyes to the fact that I don’t have to make every household decision on my own—and neither do you. Valerie shares practical ways to divide up chores and responsibilities, not only with your partner but also with your kids.
I was especially excited about this because my kids are at the age where giving them more ownership and decision-making power can really work. Valerie helped me reframe some of the challenges I’ve been facing, and I know you’ll walk away with fresh perspectives and actionable strategies you can use in your home too.
We talk about:
How to take the weight of responsibility off your shoulders
Simple ways to get your family involved in household decisions
Why busyness shouldn’t be a badge of honor
Toxic time management traps
How to create space for “unicorn time” (yes, it’s a real thing!)
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by trying to do it all, this episode will give you permission—and tools—to share the load.
