Join Community Coaching in 2026! simplyconvivial.com/coaching || Starting over feels productive, but it quietly keeps moms stuck. In this episode, I talk with longtime Convivial Circle member Laney Homan—wife of 29 years, mom of eight, and soon-to-be grandma—about how she finally stopped throwing out her systems every time life went sideways and started iterating instead.
Laney shares how:
She moved from “fix my whole life with a new plan” to making small, realistic tweaks.
Weekly reviews help her juggle homeschooling, work, and training for half marathons.
She handles short-term disruptions (like giant laundry weeks and clothing swaps) without declaring her whole routine “broken.”
She uses simple tools—weekly review, daily card, interval planning—to think clearly and respond wisely when life piles on.
If you’re tempted to scrap everything and start from scratch every time your plans blow up, Lainey’s story will give you a saner, more sustainable way forward.
