You Handled That Perfectly™

It’s that time of year, not Christmas, that’s over, the time when everything you said you would “circle back” to is finally catching up with you.

Any of these sound familiar?:

• Oh, let’s circle back on that subject after the holidays. 

• I’m gonna circle back on that email after the new year. 

• Maybe I can circle back on decluttering once we know everything the kids are getting for Christmas.

We all know it. We all do it, in some w...

Welcome to Season 2 of You Handled That Perfectly! Kelly and Carly kick off the new season (and the new year) by redefining what self-care really looks like for moms—without adding more to your plate.

In this episode, they break self-care into three approachable categories: personal, family, and professional, with a strong emphasis on micro habits that actually stick.

What we cover:

• Why self-care doesn’t require a “new year, new y...

In this episode, we are lightening things up and talking about the New Year. We are reflecting on 2025 and looking forward to 2026. We will review our words for the year and share our words for the upcoming year. Plus, we’ll talk about our traditions for New Year’s Eve.

In this episode, we’re talking about keeping our kids safe, OFFLINE. We talked a lot about keeping them safe online in the last episode, but what about when they are away from their screens? How do we keep them safe during everyday life?

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s on so many parents’ minds — kids, technology, and how we keep them safe both online and offline. This is a HUGE topic and one that we will cover again in the future, but for now, it will be two episodes, starting today with keeping kids safe online. Next time, we will go into helping to keep our kids safe offline.

We talk about the upsides and downsides of tech for kids, what’s r...

In this episode, we are talking about all things holidays! As we approach the holiday season, we know that while it feels magical and even if we love this time of year, it can also feel overwhelming.

We are wrapping up our series on identity crisis. I am sure this is not the last we will talk about identity crises, because as moms, we go through so many changes throughout our lives. If you're looking around your quiet house and thinking, “Wait—who am I now?”—you’re not alone.

According to a 2023 study by AARP, 60% of empty nesters report experiencing a loss of identity after their children leave home. More than half - and like o...

This episode is the second in our identity crisis series, which is about what it feels like when our kids go to school. Maybe you were a stay-at-home mom, and now your kids are gone during the day. What now? Maybe you work a 9-5 and your schedule has to adapt to school hours, and who you are in your career has to shift. One question I see asked all the time in my mom groups is: I’m traveling with my kids, what are all your tips and...

In this episode, we are starting a new series all about identity crises. We’ll explore three different phases of life that all involve a shift in who we are as mothers and as women. We are starting with the change that comes when we become mothers, the birth and postpartum phase. The next two episodes we go into when our kids start school and when we become empty nesters (someday for us!)

In reality, around 10–20% of mothers...

In today’s episode, we’re continuing our conversation on traveling with kids! This time, we’re sharing some of the best places to go based on your kids’ ages, the benefits of traveling as a family, and a few of our favorite travel tips. Plus—we’re excited to kick off a brand-new recurring segment you won’t want to miss!

In this episode, we’re talking about traveling with kids. We figure this is the perfect time to talk about this since it is summertime! We’re going to break down the different kinds of travel like road trips, air travel, and sight-seeing / amusement parks.

One question I see asked all the time in my mom groups is: I’m traveling with my kids, what are all your tips and tricks?! I love that we are doing this episode! I have asked ...

In this episode, we’re talking about what it’s really like to parent through summer—when routines are loose (or non-existent), snack requests are endless, and emotions are running high (theirs and ours).

We wanted to have an honest conversation about the mental load of summer—how much falls on caregivers to create the magic, keep the peace, and somehow still get things done. If you're feeling a little tapped out right now, you're no...

In this episode, we’re diving into procrastination and work avoidance—those moments where you know exactly what you should be doing, but you find yourself doing literally anything else. Maybe you’re deep-cleaning your kitchen, maybe you’re lost in the seventh layer of TikTok, or maybe you're just... frozen. We’ve all been there. And we want to talk about it with some honesty, some science, and a lot of grace.

Because procras...

In this episode, we talk about how we view priorities. This is something we’ve mentioned before in previous episodes, and we wanted to dedicate an entire episode to this concept.

The word is “Priority”, being singular, which means that there can only be ONE most important thing. 

It wasn't until the 20th century that the concept was pluralized into "priorities." The shift reflects a change in thinking, from the ...

In this episode, we are going to talk about getting out of our comfort zone! Whether it is something big, like moving to a new city, or small, like driving a different route to work, we think the fact that you tried anything is impressive! ⁠

We talk about taking small steps in our manifestation episode and how that can make a big difference, and the same could go for stepping out of our comfort zone. Start small and do something...

In this episode, we talk about the mental load and household management. We get into how we each manage our households and what that looks like with our families. We also touch on kids’ chores, activities, and expectations.

The mental load is described as “the often invisible cognitive and emotional labor involved in managing a household and family, including planning, scheduling, and remembering tasks. It's the work of anticipatin...

In this episode, we are talking about angel numbers and human design — and how these tools can actually help you get more in sync with yourself.

Here’s the thing — when you start paying attention to patterns, nudges, and your own natural energy, it’s like the volume on your life turns up. You start to realize what’s really yours versus what you’ve just been carrying.

In this episode, we are going to walk you through a brief history of women, specifically in the US, as it relates to womens' rights, money, business, etc. And the different events that led to where we are today and where we hope to go in the future."We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated."
