Description

Ever get to the end of the week and think, “What did we even do this week?” That was me — until I created CROPS, a simple 5-part framework that keeps me focused on the things that actually matter as a parent. In this episode, I’m breaking down each letter, how it works in real life, and why tending to your CROPS each week will leave you feeling more grounded, present, and proud of how you’re showing up for your family.

Key Points Discussed: 

  • The aha moment that inspired the CROPS framework
  • What each letter (C, R, O, P, S) stands for and why it matters
  • Simple, real-life examples for each category
  • How to keep CROPS from becoming “one more thing”
  • Why small weekly actions beat big, unsustainable changes
  • The mindset shift that helps you feel satisfied at the end of the week
