The Magic of Letting Kids Be Bored and Free This Summer
In this episode of Energy Talks, we unpack the very different ways we approach summer with our kids. Alyssa embracing slow, unscheduled days by the ocean, and Vanessa finding energy in structure, camps, and connection. Through honest conversation, we explore how culture, environment, and our children’s unique needs shape the season, and why tuning into what feels right for your family is the real key.
Tune in for more on:
- Why Alyssa’s choosing a “slow summer” with zero scheduled camps and what it’s teaching her kids.
- Vanessa’s decision to embrace summer structure with her son Joey and how European summer rhythms support that.
- How free play, boredom, and nature fuel creativity, confidence, and resilience in kids.
- The emotional energy of rushing, over-scheduling, and how it shows up in parenting.
- Why family time, presence, and intentional choices matter more than outside expectations.
- What it means to set your environment up for energetic success as a mom.
- How different our kids are and how that calls for different summer strategies.
Whether you're navigating a packed camp calendar or longing for a little more spaciousness, this episode invites you to listen inward and parent with presence. It’s not about what’s “right,” it’s about what’s right for you and your family this season.
