ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode, Leah and Melissa are joined by Texas mother of ten, Laura Hernandez. Like many mothers, Laura was frequently finding herself in need of simpler household management strategies. After discovering many ways to create a more structured and peaceful home, Laura decided to share her expertise with others. Thus, she created Mama Systems, a customized coaching service for moms in need of help creating routines and expectations within their families and their homes. Laura’s description of her own family’s routines and rhythms puts systems into a new perspective, including schedules, emotional regulation, household duties, spatial organization, and managing the needs of children with disabilities.

The Book Blurb in this episode comes from Thinking in Systems by environmental scientist, Donella H. Meadows. For more on this author, visit The Donella Meadows Project.
