It’s easy to look at someone like Kate and wonder how she does it all.  Between homemaking, homeschooling her five children, maintaining her Canada homestead, and running her successful online business, Kate’s plate is certainly full.  In our conversation, we discuss the realities of what it looks like to manage all of these responsibilities well without burning yourself out.  A little spoiler alert: Kate doesn’t do it all alone and neither do I!  If you have a goal of pursuing a new opportunity—a business or homestead or some other dream—but you wonder how you will manage it all, may you be inspired by this honest look behind the scenes of the lives of two fellow homemakers and business owners.

In this episode, we cover:

How Kate started her online business and grew it to where it is today

Scheduling work hours when you work from home

How to navigate seasons of burnout when your plate is full

Letting go of the pressure to do it all yourself

Setting boundaries in your business around what opportunities to pursue

The power of outsourcing in your business

A typical day in the life on Kate’s homestead

A hard look at wasting time and accomplishing your goals

One helpful tip for seasons of living in survival mode
