In this episode of the Mind Your Mama Podcast, I’m joined by Jenna Michaels, a mom of four, freelance writer, and parenting coach. Jenna shares her journey into writing, parenting, and simplifying family life. She talks about her upcoming book, which focuses on simplifying parenting for young families, and how to reduce clutter in both our physical spaces and daily schedules. We discuss the pressure of maintaining a perfect home, the importance of letting go of consumerism, and how spending quality time with our kids is more valuable than acquiring more things. Jenna encourages us to choose what truly matters and create systems to manage both clutter and expectations.

You'll hear how:

• Parenting doesn’t need to be perfect; love and time with your kids are what matter most.
• Simplifying your home and routines can reduce stress and overwhelm.
• Involving kids in decluttering and setting up systems for organization can make things easier.
• Embracing imperfections and relinquishing control can lead to more peace and joy in family life.
• Jenna’s book and coaching aim to help parents focus on what’s essential and let go of unnecessary pressure.
