How to Feel More Present in Full Mom Life (Without Adding More to Your Plate)

Dec 02, 2025

In this episode, Cara unpacks why time feels like it’s speeding by for so many moms and what we can do to feel more rooted in our everyday lives. She explores the mental load, multitasking, and routines that make days feel long but years feel short, and offers a compassionate reminder that the goal isn’t to slow down time, but to create intentional pockets of presence, novelty, and memory-rich moments within our already full lives. With real-life examples, Cara guides listeners toward tiny, doable shifts that help us savor our kids, feel more grounded, and reconnect with what makes life feel meaningful—even in the busiest seasons.
