Weekly syncs aren’t just for work — they’re the parenting tool you didn’t know you needed.

Let’s be honest — managing work, kids, meals, school forms, and still trying to be a present partner? It’s a lot. That’s why this week’s Toolkit Series episode of The New Modern Mom Podcast is dedicated to one of the most powerful shifts I’ve made in motherhood: the weekly partner meeting.

In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to run these check-ins — from setting intentions to having the emotional conversations that usually get buried. With advice from previous episodes with Hitha Palepu and Jeanelle Teves, you’ll learn how to run your household like the team you are. It’s time to get out of reactive mode and into a rhythm that actually works.
