I posted a reel on Instagram all about a week in the life with my schedule in the last year and a half as a working mom who owns a business but works part-time from home. Today, I want to expand on what I explain in that very short 90-second clip to tell you more of the nitty-gritty details about what my week is like running my business, taking care of my son, recording this being very pregnant, and how my team and my husband fit into this.

We have had three days of childcare since November of 2022 and that’s been working well for us. Before that, we had no childcare at all. I know I’ve been asked questions about it so today I want to talk about my work week, what it looks like running a multiple six-figure-year business on part-time hours while I work from home without full-time childcare. And we're also going to talk about that “40 hour work week” and some mindset stuff around that.

In this episode, we are covering:

• Where the idea of a “40-hour workweek” even comes from and why entrepreneurs who have “ditched the 9-5” still follow it [6:04]
• Why I don’t feel like I run my business “part-time” but I DO only work part-time hours [9:53]
• An EXACT BTS of my weekly schedule with only 3 days/week of childcare [12:13]
• 6 tips or things to consider if you want more “life” in your work-life balance [30:16]

I want this episode to show you what has been possible for me and what I believe is possible for you too! Stay tuned for more BTS episodes coming soon!
