The Unbusy Mom: Because you’re ambitious, you want to grow your business, and you still want a life.

She already knew time blocking worked - she just wasn't using it.

And the question wasn't really, “How do I make myself be more disciplined?”

It was: What would make this feel like something I get to do?

Because her chart actually wants structure.

A tidy workspace. Certain things happening at certain times. Step-by-step plans ready to go.

But here's the part that makes this interesting…. She doesn't want the schedule to decide everything for her.

She wants to be able to look at that time block and choose which priority gets to go in it.

So her answer isn't throwing out the schedule - it's giving herself a little more room inside that structure.

Listen to the reading →

If you're a Generator who knows time blocking works but still struggles to stick with a rigid schedule, this Human Design coaching redo looks at how to create structure without turning your workday into a list of things you “have to” do. Alyssa gets into Generator energy, delegation, sustainable work rhythms, and the difference between having structure and having every priority predetermined.

We also get into tidy work environments, step-by-step project plans, choosing which priority belongs in each time block, and the question: “What if this gets to be easy?”

Nope - you don't actually have to choose between the business you want and the life you want.

That's what the Business Cleanout is for.

You send me the messy version of your business, your responsibilities, your projects, your team, your life.

I'll take your whole pile and turn it around within 30 days.

Because you don't need to spend another month trying to make everything fit.

You need to see what can change so you can crush the goals you've been dreaming about and still be there for the kids.

What do you need to feel more secure about this?

That’s the question I want her asking when she feels stuck.

Because her brain is naturally going to look around the corner.

• Do we have enough money?
• Do I have the right people?
• Do we actually have time for this?
• What happens if we add this to the week?

That “yes, but have you considered THIS?” thing isn't a problem to get rid of - it’s how she’s designed to make decisions.

And then we got into her workday... which is where things get REALLY interesting.

She needs the freedom to decide what she wants to work on….

But once she picks the thing? Give her the darn checklist. 

She just doesn't want someone else deciding which project she should be working on at 10:00am Tuesday morning. 😂

If you're a Manifesting Generator, entrepreneur, or working mom who's been trying to force yourself to focus on one thing at a time, this Human Design coaching redo gets into why that might be making your workday harder. Alyssa looks at Manifesting Generator energy, multi-focus work, delegation, productivity, and the need to have multiple things that genuinely light you up.

We also get into Human Design work style, workspace preferences, choosing priorities, step-by-step project plans, and the surprisingly specific combination of wanting freedom around what you work on while still wanting structure around how you actually approach the work. The reading also looks at the amount of delegation needed to create enough room for that work style in the middle of real family and business responsibilities.

Nope - you don't actually have to choose between the business you want and the life you want.

What if you're actually supposed to choose what you work on?

Not have every single priority decided three weeks in advance.

Not follow a perfectly pre-planned schedule.

Not force yourself to focus on one thing just because somebody told you that's how productive people work.

We got into this really interesting combination of wanting freedom to choose what feels like the right thing to work on... while still wanting step-by-step plans for how to actually do it.

So yes, there's structure - just maybe not the kind you thought.

If you're an entrepreneur who has tried time blocking, productivity systems, and carefully planned workdays but still feels like something about the setup doesn't quite fit, this Human Design coaching redo gets into why. Alyssa looks at Manifesting Generator energy, multi-focus work, delegation, and the tension between needing freedom in your day and still wanting clear project plans once you've chosen what you're doing.

We also get into Human Design work style, productivity, right-brain and left-brain preferences, choosing priorities, and what can happen when you stop trying to force yourself into standard time-management strategies and start building your business around the way you naturally operate.

Nope - you don't actually have to choose between the business you want and the life you want.

Someone told her to focus on ONE thing.

Which was probably terrible advice. 😂

Because she's a Manifesting Generator. She's meant to have a normal work day and a bunch of different things that actually light her up.

So we got into what happens when you've got a brain that wants lots of things going on... and you're trying to force yourself to focus on one thing because that's what you're “supposed” to do.

And then the real-life problem underneath all of it?

The puppy.

Yep. 😂

If you have multiple interests, projects, hobbies, or priorities pulling at you and you've been trying to force yourself to focus on just one thing, you may have been using a productivity strategy that doesn't actually fit the way you work. In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at Manifesting Generator energy, multi-focus work, delegation, productivity, and the pressure to narrow your attention down.

We also get into Human Design for entrepreneurs and moms, including workday structure, time blocking, workspace preferences, step-by-step project plans, and the real-life responsibilities that can make it difficult to create enough room for the way you naturally want to work.

She needed to work less - which sounds obvious when you're talking about a Projector.

Except she also needs to delegate a LOT to make that actually possible.

And then we got REALLY specific about her work style. ‘Cause she wants structure. 

Same place, same time. Pre-chosen tasks at specific times.

But once she's inside the project? She wants to just see what her brain pulls out as the next step.

Very structured about when she works - very flexible about what happens next.

If you're an entrepreneur who keeps pushing through long workdays even though you're exhausted, you may have wondered whether you're simply bad at managing your time or whether you need to get better at delegating. In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at Projector energy, short work days, rest, delegation, and the amount of support needed at home and in the business to actually create that kind of schedule.

We also get into Human Design work style, structured routines, time blocking, and the surprisingly specific way this brain wants to work: pre-planned tasks and consistent timing, combined with freedom to follow the next immediate step once she's inside a project.

What if you're actually really good at business?

Like, you could solve the team problem. Figure out the webinar. Fix the conversion issue. Have the hard conversation.

….IF somebody would just give you the problems one at a time.

Because that's the real issue.

It's not that you don't know how to solve business problems. 

It's that you've got three things needing you at once, notifications going off everywhere, a kid getting sick, the dog barking, and absolutely ZERO margin to think.

So every new problem feels like a five-alarm fire.

Instead of: something needs fixing? Okay - let's figure it out.

You don't need to be better at business - you need enough margin to actually USE the skills you've already got.

→ Let's clean out the pile

If you're good at solving business problems but still feel completely overwhelmed by your business, you may not have a business skills problem. You may simply have too many things demanding your attention at the same time, leaving you with no real space to think, prioritize, or do the work you're actually good at.

In this episode, Alyssa looks at business overwhelm, mental load, competing priorities, and the lack of margin that can make even manageable problems feel urgent. We get into what happens when your business is asking you to be the CEO, problem-solver, decision-maker, and default responder to everything at once.

Nope - you don't actually have to choose between the business you want and the life you want.

What if you aren't supposed to work all day? 

Seriously. 😂

Because we spend SO much time trying to make ourselves be consistent like little productivity machines.

But what if that's actually the problem??

This reading got into what happens when you STOP trying to force yourself into somebody else's version of a “normal” workday.

Same coaching question - completely different answer once we put her Human Design underneath it.

Come listen to this one →

If you're an entrepreneur and a mom trying to fit your business into the hours your family leaves available, you may have assumed the answer is better time management, more consistency, or simply working more efficiently. And maybe you've been trying very hard to become the kind of person who can work a “normal” schedule.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at Human Design for entrepreneur moms, work schedules, productivity, energy, and what happens when you stop forcing yourself into a conventional workday. We get into the question of whether you actually need to work all day to run a successful business, and how the answer can change when you look at the way you're naturally designed to work.

Okay, this one was interesting. Because she clearly needed some structure.

But the more we talked about how she actually works, the more I started seeing… the problem is the KIND of structure she's been trying to create.

You know that thing where you make a beautiful plan and then immediately want to do something completely different?

Yeah. We talked about that. 😂

This is what happens when you take a coaching question and run it through the actual person asking it. 

Come listen to me pick this apart →

If you've tried creating a detailed schedule for your business only to immediately want to do something completely different, you may have a complicated relationship with structure. You know you need some kind of plan, but rigid productivity systems can make you want to throw the whole thing out the window.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at structure and freedom in your workday, productivity systems, project planning, and how to create a business structure that supports the way you naturally work. We get into the difference between having enough structure to move forward and creating so much structure that you can't actually work inside it.

What if you don't actually need more time?

Because this woman had a pretty specific question about how to fit everything in. And I kept thinking….

Do we actually NEED to fit all this in??

Or, should we look at how she's USING her energy in the first place??

This one got into work, rest, capacity, and why “just use the time better” isn't always the answer.

Because the advice I'd give one woman isn't necessarily the advice I'd give another woman with the exact same problem - and that's the whole point of these readings.

Listen to the reading →

If you're trying to run a business while raising kids, you've probably experienced the beautiful fantasy of a perfectly protected work block... immediately followed by someone needing you. When your available work time is limited, it's tempting to assume you simply need better time management or more discipline.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at how to find time to work as a parent, energy management, capacity, rest, and the challenge of fitting meaningful work into a life that includes other people who do not care about your calendar. 😂 We get into why “just use your time better” isn't always enough, and how the right advice can change when you factor in the way someone is actually wired to work.

Some people's weeks are predictable.

Some people's weeks are…. Yeah.

This one is for the woman who makes a plan on Sunday, and by Tuesday morning it's basically historical fiction. 😂

So what do YOU actually need when your schedule refuses to behave??

That's what we got into.

We took the original coaching question, added her Human Design, and suddenly the answer got a LOT more specific.

Listen to this one →

If your schedule changes constantly, traditional time management advice can start to feel almost comical. You can plan your week, block your calendar, and have a beautiful little Sunday-night system... and then Tuesday happens.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at time management for entrepreneurs with unpredictable schedules, prioritization, productivity, and how to create momentum when you can't rely on a perfectly predictable workweek. We get into what actually matters when your available work time keeps moving around, and how the Human Design lens can change the advice you'd normally give someone in this situation.
