5️⃣ Key Takeaways from This Episode:

1. You don’t need a perfect plan—just a rhythm.

Back-to-school doesn’t require a Pinterest-worthy homeschool setup or a rigid schedule. What you truly need is a rhythm that feels human, flexible, and sustainable—something that works even when someone loses a sock (again).

2. Your “I’m not ready” whisper is normal—and valid.

That little voice saying “I should’ve done more” or “I want a routine but I hate structure” is one many moms hear. You’re not alone in the chaos or the contradictions. And there’s a better way forward.

3. Mindset matters more than materials.

The next 4 episodes will give you powerful mindset tools to reset how you show up daily—starting with B-MAT (Behavior = Motivation + Ability + Trigger), a neuroscience-backed habit method that simplifies one tricky routine at a time.

4. Real transformation happens in small shifts.

You don’t need to overhaul everything. Just pick one routine (like the morning chaos or midday meltdown) and apply the tools we’ll explore—step by step, breath by breath.

5. You were never meant to figure this out alone.

Whether it’s a messy bun Monday or a coffee-that-went-cold kind of day, you have a front-row seat here. Together, we’re doing September differently—with more calm, connection, and grace.

The reset we have been all craving for. Your real back-to-school toolkit is here.

Hey, I know it's Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer, and you might be sitting there thinking, wait, was that it? The lazy mornings, the popsicles, the, well, just winged days—gone. Now it's "Where are your shoes? Did you brush your teeth or just eat the toothpaste?"

And why is your backpack still full of last year's stuff? And maybe, just maybe, you're whispering to yourself—what a lot of you are whispering right now: "I don't know if I'm ready."

"I should have done more during the summer." Or "I need a schedule. But also, I hate schedules. I want connection, but I also want five minutes alone to pee." Hey, I see you—because I am you.

And I'm here to tell you, you don't need a color-coded command center or a Pinterest-worthy homeschool corner to feel prepared. What you need is a rhythm. Something real, something human. Something that doesn't fall apart every minute someone loses a sock.

That's why over the next four episodes, I am giving you exactly what your nervous system and your soul need to feel steady again. Not in a fix-everything kind of way, but in a brief-and-clear-again kind of way.

Hey, my friend, and welcome to The Anya Garcia Show.

Here we will explore the science of learning, the art of parenting, and the mindset shifts that help you simplify your journey to amplify your growth. You see, I thought I would find purpose in courtrooms—until motherhood showed me it was waiting at home.

So I traded my attorney briefcase for the beauty of homeschooling. Depositions for diapers, and settlements for sensory play. I stepped off the legal path so that I can walk it with you.

Because parenting doesn't come with a manual or legal briefs, so no wonder it can feel overwhelming and messy. But I see you showing up every day, even when no one is watching. And that little voice—"Am I doing enough?"—I hear it too. But here is the truth:

You don't need more to be enough. Because more doesn't create peace. Alignment does. Progress matters more than perfection. And when you stop doubting, you start leading with confidence.

And before you know it, you have created a space where you and your child thrive. Because humans are born with this natural desire to learn and grow. And I am here to help you harness that. Your child's potential is limitless.

And so is yours. We just need to unlock it.

So here's what's coming. This Thursday, September 4th, you will learn a Flow Reset—BMAT style.

We will start by resetting one routine that's driving you nuts. Not your whole day, not your whole life. Just one sticky moment—like the mornings where you feel like a human megaphone.

We'll walk through the BMAT method, which stands for Behavior, Motivation, Ability, and Trigger, to create a smoother flow without adding 37 new tabs to your day.

Then Monday, September 8th, I will share with you a Presence Power-Up—I Don't technique. Now, this one is a game changer.

You see, when you're pulled in 100 directions—laundry, texts, that weird feeling "Oh, I should be doing more"—I'll teach you the four-word phrase that flips your brain from frazzled to focused. No more guilt for drifting—just a gentle, powerful return to what matters.

Next Thursday, September 11th, we will cover Pause & Power-Up—QRS Technique. You know that moment.

The meltdown, the mess, the mom snap you wish you could rewind. Oh, I had those. We'll learn how to pause for real and walk through three fast steps to stay calm when your day tries to derail you.

Trust me, this one will save you sanity more than once.

And finally, Monday, September 15th, we will Anchor the Adventure with the MIA Routine.

And we will close the month with an invitation to ground yourself in one daily ritual. Not another thing to do—but a thing to feel: joy, safety, softness.

Whether it's a candlelit breakfast, a morning stretch, or a three-minute gratitude circle, this anchor becomes the heartbeat of your day.

So if your inner voice has been whispering, "I just want to feel different this year. I want to feel calm, not chaotic. I want my home to feel like a place we all want to be in," then these next four episodes are for you, my sweet friend.

Come sit with me. Front row, messy bun, coffee half-finished.

I'll bring you the real talk, the reset, and the reminder that you were never meant to figure this out alone.

Let's do September differently—together.

I'll see you soon.
