Weekends That Work Masterclass

Between scheduled activities, chores, catching up from the workweek, and prepping for the next week, there’s barely a moment to catch your breath let alone relax or recharge.
You try to have fun and make memories, but taking adventures or planning activities feels like so much work and you just don’t have the energy!
You feel guilty when the weekend's over because you didn’t make the most of it. You know this is your time to be with your kids, but you end up putting on shows or counting down until naptime just so you can get stuff done.
You’re always disappointed with how little you actually get done. You have high expectations of all that want to do but somehow never go according to plan.
You need a weekend to recover from your weekend. They're the opposite of restful or recharging - they’re exhausting.

In this workshop, you will learn:

How to set realistic expectations so that you don’t overextend yourself and wind up exhausted and frustrated.
Why planning your weekends actually allows you to relax more so that you start the next week feeling refreshed.
How to prioritize fun and pleasure while still getting shit done because life is about more than just work and chores!
How to say no to the things that make your weekends exhausting so that you can make space for what recharges you.
My process for evaluating your weekends, deciding what you want, and creating a plan to make your dream reality.

My weekends were anything BUT relaxing...

With 3 young kids, 2 full-time working parents, extracurricular activities, and a house with endless projects and repairs, our weekends were anything but fun and relaxing. I would crash on the couch Friday night, completely exhausted from a busy work week, and then wake up Saturday morning and begrudgingly hit the ground running. My to-do list was a mile long, our calendar was full of soccer games, play dates, nap times, and errands, and on top of that I would try to tackle a house project, do a little work to catch-up, and try to prep 2-3 meals for the week ahead. By Sunday afternoon I was exhausted, sore, grumpy, and frustrated.

Why couldn't I get everything done? I didn't even get to rest or relax for 5 minutes! How are all of these other families having fun? I need a 3-day weekend every weekend!

But the truth is, even when I got a 3-day weekend it still didn't feel like enough. With an extra day, I just tried to do even more. What took me 5 years of working full-time and parenting to learn, was that weekends should be about doing less and living more. That just because you have "more time" than you do during the work week doesn't mean you have to fill it.

It takes restraint to slow down and prioritize fun, rest, and pleasure, but if you don't, you'll find yourself looking back on this time and realize that ALL you did was work, in one way or another, 7 days a week. I want to teach you the skills you need to do less and live more.
