Okay, story time. Day TWO in our brand-new Arizona house. 100+ degree heat outside. Moving boxes EVERYWHERE. And my boys? They decided this was the PERFECT moment for an indoor blanket ride across our hardwood floors.

You know exactly where this is going, right? 🤦‍♀️

One overzealous turn later, and BAM—child-sized HOLE straight through our kitchen wall. Before we'd even figured out the Wi-Fi password, y'all!

And in that split second, I felt all the mom-frustration bubbling up. The "I guess we can't have nice things" thoughts. The exasperation rising. The yell forming in my throat.

But something stopped me (hallafreakingluia!), and THAT moment is exactly what this episode is about.

Because summer is coming, friends. And it's not just financially expensive—it's EMOTIONALLY expensive. The unstructured days. The bickering siblings. The 47 snack emergencies before noon. The "I'm boooooored" symphony.

If you've ever found yourself one broken toy or spilled drink away from losing your ever-loving mind... this episode is your lifeline.

I'm breaking down my complete framework for a No-Yell Summer, including:

• Why understanding your yell triggers changes everything
• The 3 types of summer goals you need (hint: one is just for YOU)
• How to choose your Summer Parent Identity (Joy Ringmaster? Zen Zookeeper? You decide!)
• The 3-prong plan that requires zero extra willpower (because honestly, who has any left?)

I'm also sharing details about my upcoming No Yell Summer Workshop happening May 28th at noon ET. It's just $7, and it includes the live workshop, a replay, and a workbook! (And if you're already in The League, you're automatically in! 🎉)

Bonus alert! Register in the next 48 hours and I'll send you a secret resource I've never shared publicly before—my go-to tool for calming chaos in under 60 seconds.

Listen, I want you to be sad when summer ends—not collapsing with relief that it's finally over! Let's make this a summer your kids remember for all the right reasons.

And pretty please—if this episode speaks to your parenting soul, share it with a friend! We're all in this parenting chaos together, and sometimes knowing you're not alone is half the battle.

According to the latest science (and my six kids who've tested every parenting theory I've ever had), if you want your kids to WANT to listen to you—correction is out, connection is in.

Can't wait to see you on May 28th!

With all the parenting solidarity, Andee
