Feeling overwhelmed by mom life, endless to-do lists, and mental clutter? You’re not alone. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a simple 10-minute hack that every busy, overwhelmed mom needs: how writing everything down in a brain book can help you organize your life, reduce your mental load, and finally get better sleep.
I’ll share my personal story of juggling two little kids, managing the house, finances, and work, and how a giant fridge calendar saved my sanity. Later, as I grew two businesses and started substitute teaching, I needed an even better system — one that could keep up with my crazy life.
You’ll learn: 📝 Why writing everything down clears mental clutter and reduces anxiety 📝 How a simple visual plan can make your day feel more manageable 📝 Why externalizing your to-do list helps you sleep deeper and wake up more refreshed 📝 How to start your own 10-minute brain dump habit (no fancy planner required!)
If you’re tired of feeling frazzled, dropping balls, and waking up in the middle of the night thinking about 100 things, this quick and practical episode is your new best friend.
Busy moms, working moms, single moms — this easy organization hack is for you. You deserve more peace, better sleep, and the freedom to enjoy motherhood without the mental chaos.
➡️ Grab a notebook and hit play — let’s clear the clutter together!
