It’s that time of year, not Christmas, that’s over, the time when everything you said you would “circle back” to is finally catching up with you.

Any of these sound familiar?:

• Oh, let’s circle back on that subject after the holidays.

• I’m gonna circle back on that email after the new year.

• Maybe I can circle back on decluttering once we know everything the kids are getting for Christmas.

We all know it. We all do it, in some way. So today’s episode is about that — the chaos that creeps in after “vacation mode”: the scramble to catch up, rebuild momentum, and — maybe most importantly — give ourselves grace as we do it. “You handled the holidays perfectly… even if they felt messy.”

Circling back slowly is still circling back.

Welcome to Season 2 of You Handled That Perfectly! Kelly and Carly kick off the new season (and the new year) by redefining what self-care really looks like for moms—without adding more to your plate.

In this episode, they break self-care into three approachable categories: personal, family, and professional, with a strong emphasis on micro habits that actually stick.

What we cover:

• Why self-care doesn’t require a “new year, new you” mindset

• How saying no is sometimes the most powerful form of self-care

• Personal self-care beyond bubble baths (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual)

• Micro habits like breath resets, habit stacking, stretching, hydration, and sleep tweaks

• Reducing mental clutter by unsubscribing, unfollowing, and unplugging from your phone

• Nighttime routines, manifestation, and why what you think before bed matters

• Teaching kids confidence, calm, and emotional safety—especially at bedtime

• Reframing household “chores” as family self-care and shared responsibility

• How prioritizing yourself creates a calmer, more connected home

This episode is a gentle reminder that self-care isn’t another thing to do—it’s a way to support yourself so you can show up with more patience, presence, and peace.

✨ You’re not behind. You’re not failing. And you’re allowed to take care of yourself.
