Erica Peterson is a scientist, founder of Moms Can Code and Moms Can & Co., a wife and mom. She is passionate about helping moms work from home and be engaged with their children.

She has worked in several advocacy roles and Moms Can Code was born out of her desire to find other moms who wanted to learn coding or get better at coding. The membership site is now an online community of moms helping each other.

When Erica realized that many moms were having trouble finding jobs they could do remotely, she decided to write a nightly newsletter with job opportunities. In only 3 months her Moms Can & Co. newsletter has exploded with growth and thousands of women are now hearing about job opportunities that they can do from home.

Erica and I discuss working from home, balancing motherhood with our passions, and how learning to communicate her needs made such a big difference.

Aniah Azmi is an ophthalmologist, university lecturer, mom of 3 and wife. She is passionate about saving and restoring people's vision, and teaching and sharing her experiences.

Aniah's road to become an eye surgeon was long. She started her ophthalmology training while 4 months pregnant with her first child and proceeded to have two more children while studying. While this may sound daunting, Aniah credits her hard work, positive thinking and supportive family. Her husband cheers her on and she has the help of her mother-in-law as well as some hired help.

My chat with Aniah had so many highlights, but one thing I truly loved was hearing about her typical day. She gets up early, prays, writes in her gratitude journal, exercises, puts in a long day at work then comes home to cook dinner for her family. She lives on the other side of the world, is part of a different culture and religion... and yet our two days are nearly identical. It was such a great reminder that we all have so much more in common than what divides us.

Some of the things Aniah does NOT do includes cleaning her house and doing her laundry. While she does have the help of a maid/nanny with many things in her home, she feels strongly about cooking food for her family because she believes her love is in the food.

If you want to gain more time, you first have to know WHERE your time is going! In this episode I discuss time tracking, how I've used it, who I learned about it from, and how it has changed my schedule.

If you want a quick version of looking at where your time is going, look on your phone. If you have an iPhone, go to Settings, Battery and scroll down. It will tell you battery usage by app in % or hit show activity and it will show in time. A lot of what I have learned about time tracking is from from Laura Vanderkam who was on the show in Episode 16. She has written several books: 168 Hours - you have more time than you think, I Know How She Does It, and Off the Clock - feel less busy while getting more done.

Once you know where your time is going, you can start to make adjustments to get the schedule you want!

If you are going to track, do it for at least one week, if not two! 1. Use a notebook 2. Excel (you can get a template from Laura Vanderkam), I copied mine to google sheets so I could do it from my phone 3. Use an app: Atracker free and pro

Mel Lucht is my cousin, a dear friend, wife, mom to 3 teenagers and a teacher. She was a SAHM for years before deciding to go back to work. She spent a few years trying to figure out what was the best fit, until a dear friend sat her down and told her what a good teacher she would be.

It took several years of hard work and sacrifice, but Mel managed to get her teaching certification while still working and having three active kids. Mel shares about wondering if she was too old to go back to school, and the joy she gets now from pouring into the lives of young children.
