How Molly & Emese Actually Survive Back-to-School Season - Video

If you've ever felt like you go from "totally on top of it" to "drowning by 8:15 am" with zero in between, this episode is for you. In this Back to School episode, Molly and Emese are giving their tried and true real tips and tricks for that get their families on track for the year.
Instead of white-knuckling through September, they make the case for building it out ahead of time — the mom-uniform wardrobe formula, the screentime rules — so the chaos has somewhere to go instead of landing on you every single morning.
In this episode, they discuss:
The Sunday reset ritual that maps out the whole week in 15-30 minutes
Screentime contracts, monitoring apps, and why "ignorance is not bliss" with kids' group chats
The "mom uniform" — the wardrobe formula that gets you from drop-off to dinner
Academic support systems, from tutoring apps to sourcing a tutor through the school itself
Carpool systems and why sharing the driving is a sanity-saver, not a failure
Why kids need to stay kids — playdates, outdoor time, and not overscheduling activities
How to handle the very real back-to-school anxiety without guilt
Whether you're drowning in schedules, wanting a change from your drop-off sweatpants, or just trying to make it to the holidays in one piece, Molly and Emese share the systems that actually get them through the back-to-school season — and remind you that you're not doing it alone.
