If you’ve ever held it together all day, then snapped the second the backpacks hit the floor, this is for you.

Evenings can feel louder, heavier, and harder to manage, not because you’re bad at nights, but because your nervous system has been running without relief since the moment school ends.

In this episode, we name what’s really happening in the after-school transition, why the “pile-on” drains your patience and presence, and how to start creating a small handoff so you can stop bracing for impact every night.

Working moms with school-age kids who feel:

• bone tired, depleted, always on, like they can’t shut off

• guilty for resting, asking for help, or taking time for themselves

• behind before the day even starts and still behind when it ends

• overstimulated in the evenings and then ashamed about how they reacted

• Why the after-school window is not a transition, it’s a pile-on

• Why evenings become the breaking point even if mornings and work are manageable

• The “relay race with no handoff” pattern and how it shows up in your body

• The “flickering flashlight” moment and what it’s trying to protect you from

• One small shift that helps your nervous system release before the next demand
