![]() And I've literally been up until midnight the past week or so trying to put the finishing touches on it so that it's ready sooner. And since I hadn't planned on relaunching at it until the end of April, I had a lot of work to do on it. So if you're interested in that and you want to get on the wait list, it opens later this week, /foundations. And that's really why I designed this program was to relieve the pressure that so many of us feel in Parenthood to help move you towards simplicity so that she can stay focused on the priorities that really matter and let go of the rest of the stuff. We're struggling feeling like we're not doing enough to be educating our kids at home, to be managing our kids' behavior, to be keeping the house clean. We're struggling with the pressure that we're under. I know that many of us are at home and we're struggling. I wasn't planning on bringing it back until later in April, but I had this overwhelming gut feeling that now is the right time. It's the same amazing content from the masterclass, just reworked into a self-paced format. Therefore, now it is called the Simple Families Foundations Program, because it's about laying the foundation to simplify your family and make simplicity a core value that lasts a lifetime. But to me, the name masterclass seems like something urgent, something that needs to be hurried when the reality is simplifying your family really is a process that needs to be taken at a pace that suits you. It's probably just this minor slight thing. So I've been working behind the scenes for the past couple of months, getting it ready to bring it back and change it and make it self paced. And over the past few months, I've had so many more requests to bring it back and I've been wanting to do it, but I knew that it needed to take a different form when I was offering it before it was an eight week program. The feedback that I got on the program was overwhelming. I ran it three times last year at different points during the year and had amazing groups join me. Know that last year I had a program called the masterclass, which I absolutely enjoyed. Many of you who've been following along for some time. And in the second half, I answer a question from an audience member and today the something simple that I'm loving is I'm relaunching the masterclass. If you're new to the podcast in this shorter Q and A episode, I always start off the first half of the episode, sharing something simple that I'm loving. So that brings me to my something simple for today. We're just getting together to talk and to support one another and to build community. This Saturday, March 28th, at 10:00 AM Eastern, you can go to /coffee to reserve your spot. So many of you joining me from all over the world. Last Saturday, I hosted a live virtual coffee chat, which was amazing to chat with. If you follow along on Instagram, you'll know that I've been very active, trying to provide as many resources as possible over there. ![]() So right now I am really working overtime to try to do my job. And during this crisis, it has really become clear to me, crystal clear what my job is and my job is to support parents. I'm just very generally inarticulate about it. I usually fumble over an answer or something like, well, I wrote a book, I have a podcast. I have always struggled to explain to people that I meet, what I do when I get asked that question. It has been a week or a couple of weeks, depending on what part of the world you're in now. So you're going to hear conversations that are based in research, but more importantly, real life. My perspectives are based in my firsthand experience, raising kids, but also rooted in my Ph.D. In this show, we focus on minimalism with kids, positive parenting, family wellness, and decreasing the mental load. Simple Families is an online community for parents who are seeking a simpler more intentional life. I'm answering a question about how to entertain our kids during a quarantine.
