Summer break? What summer break? While everyone else seems to be relaxing, you're busier than ever managing camps, activities, and vacation planning—all while still caring for aging parents and keeping up with work. If you're wondering when moms get their summer break, this episode is your answer.

Join host Valerie Mekki for a reality check about mom summer burnout, followed by something you desperately need: an 8-minute guided beach meditation that will give you the mental vacation you've been craving. No packing required, no planning needed—just pure escape and rejuvenation.

This episode is for the midlife mom who's tired of being everyone's summer activity coordinator while never getting a moment to herself. It's time to take that break you deserve, even if it's just in your mind.

Follow the show @mindfullifechanges on YouTube, IG,and DM a question or comment about the life transitions you're going through too. I might answer your question in one of the episodes to help you and other midlifers navigate this ever changing and beautiful season of life.
