In this episode, we break down the difference between chaotic busy (spinning in circles, reacting to everything) and productive busy (purposeful, aligned, and deeply satisfying).

You’ll learn how to quickly identify which version you’re operating in, what your nighttime thoughts reveal about your balance, and how to shift into a rhythm that feels full but not frantic.

Because your life can be full and still feel peaceful.
 Let’s talk about how to make that your new normal.

IN THIS EPISODE: 

• The two very different versions of busy — and how to tell which one you’re in
• The simple bedtime check-in that reveals if your days are aligned
• Why chaotic busy keeps you exhausted but not accomplished
• What productive busy feels like — and why it’s actually healthy
• How to pause, evaluate, and shift toward intention and balance

• 5 signs your balance might be slipping away

If you’ve ever felt like you have too much on your plate, this episode of The Balancing Busy Podcast is for you. I got to sit down with my longtime friend and fellow mom entrepreneur, Dana Malstaff, founder of Boss Mom, for a real, raw conversation about the messy, beautiful, and often overwhelming reality of being a working mom.

We pulled back the curtain on what it really looks like to juggle business, family, identity, and self-worth—and how to finally find a rhythm that feels sustainable.

IN THIS EPISODE: 

• The truth about “having it all” — and why trying to do everything leads to burnout.
• How poor boundaries and people-pleasing keep moms stuck in overwhelm.
• What it really means to honor your current season (and why sometimes it’s not the right time to go all in).
• How to redefine success and build a business that supports your life, not runs it.
• Why being a “boss mom” means being the CEO of your own life — on your terms.
