In this episode, Chelsi talks with Amy Motroni, author of Genius Mom Hacks and mom of four, about how to create systems that make motherhood feel lighter and homes run smoother.

Amy shares her story of going from overwhelmed and exhausted to organized and at peace by focusing on routines that actually work in real life, not perfection or Pinterest standards. She explains simple habits that reduce stress, how to involve kids in daily tasks, and why progress matters more than perfection.

Together, they talk about mom guilt, teamwork in the home, and the difference between surviving and actually enjoying your family. This conversation is full of practical ideas and gentle reminders that you cannot do everything, but you can build a rhythm that works for you.
