About this episode

In this episode, Tamsin Williamson offers strategies for easing into summer without burnout, focusing on self-care and managing the end-of-term intensity.

The end of term can feel like a full-body sprint to the finish line - school events, packed calendars, exhausted kids (and parents!) and your own mental load bubbling away in the background. It’s no wonder so many of us arrive at summer already feeling wrung out, craving rest but unsure how to actually  get  it with kids at home. But you  don’t  have to start the summer exhausted, burnt out, and desperate for a break you may not fully get. And in this short and supportive solo episode, I’m here to offer you a different way into the Summer stretch. An approach rooted in gentleness, nervous system care, and permission to tend to your own needs  as well as  your family’s. In this episode we'll explore: - Why the end-of-term intensity can feel like such a spiral - How to soften the transition into summer without collapsing into it - Tiny but powerful ways to honour your energy, needs and capacity - How to make this summer feel less like survival and more like spaciousness - Why looking  beyond  the summer might bring surprising relief If you’re feeling the frazzle, this episode is your exhale. And a reminder that it’s safe to  unrush…
