In this episode, Mari pulls back the curtain on her 8-week "Savor Your Summer" coaching series, sharing the origin story and giving you a sneak peek at what happens inside. She reveals how a hectic, expensive, and overwhelming summer led to creating a completely different approach to summer living.

Key Highlights:

  • The origin story: How hosting a 15-year-old cousin for 3 weeks led to an exhausting, expensive summer that left Mari feeling resentful instead of fulfilled
  • Why "busy" became her default descriptor for summer (instead of fun, joyful, or exciting) and how that was a wake-up call
  • The "Embracing Envy" exercise: Creating a menu of 40-100 things you want to savor this summer (not a to-do list!)
  • How to define your "main character energy" for summer - whether it's wildflower vibes, productivity energy, or slow living
  • Reality check: We're only 24 days into summer with 70 days left - it's definitely not too late to reclaim your season
  • Savor Your Summer themes include: Finding Fun in everyday moments, Indulge in Experience, Create Magic Moments, and Prioritize Play
  Savor Your Summer isn't about expensive excursions or adding more to your plate. It's about being present for big moments AND finding joy in the mundane. The goal is holistic savoring from a slower perspective - whether that's shooting hoops with your 10-year-old, taking 15 minutes for a romance novel, or driving with the windows down and radio off.
