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

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.

Nope - you don't have to choose between the revenue you want and the client-and-kid responsibilities you’ve already got…. But you ALSO can't keep trying to fit everything into the work-at-home setup you've been putting up with. 

Which is exactly what the “Room for More Clients” Audit is for.

Because before we start trying to add client spots, I want to figure out what we can get rid of from your schedule. 

So this is where I get to meet your real workday: the operational whack-a-mole derailing your day, your "should be enough work hours but always isn't" calendar, and those "somebody forgot to do this so I better take care of it" tasks. 

I'll record a custom video for you with your roadmap to "more clients in the same hours":

• your scaling idiot lights
• how your week naturally works best
• the first thing I’d change about your team setup

Because once you understand where those client spots are hiding, a whole lot of scaling room suddenly gets freed up.

So go grab yours - and I’ll send your Audit over in 14 days or less.

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.

Nope - you don't have to choose between the revenue you want and the client-and-kid responsibilities you’ve already got…. But you ALSO can't keep trying to fit everything into the work-at-home setup you've been putting up with.

She knew what her top three were.

She had the list. She'd circled the things. Matter of fact, she'd stared at them WAY too long.

And somehow… she was still stuck.

So I started asking a few different questions.

Because when you've already tried the obvious productivity advice and you're STILL sitting there thinking, “Okay, but what the heck do I actually do??”...

I want to know what's underneath that. 😂

That's where these HD redos get fun. Same question - different woman - very different conversation.

Come listen to the reading →

If you've already tried making a priority list, choosing your top three, and figuring out what needs to happen first, but you're still sitting there staring at the list, you might be wondering whether you have a productivity or prioritization problem. Especially when you technically know exactly what needs your attention.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at how to prioritize when everything feels important, why productivity systems don't always solve the problem, and what can sit underneath a business prioritization problem. We take the same coaching question and put the person's actual Human Design into the conversation, because the advice can change dramatically depending on who's asking.

Nope - you don't have to choose between the revenue you want and the client-and-kid responsibilities you’ve already got…. But you ALSO can't keep trying to fit everything into the work-at-home setup you've been putting up with.

You don't just hope your funnel works.

You don't just hope your team knows what to do.

So why are you hoping your kids behave, your husband knows what you need, your routines somehow settle down, and your life magically gets streamlined next year?

It won't.

You have to decide what you actually want your Tuesday to look like, then structure it.

Because “busy” was never meant to be your operating system.

And if you keep waiting until you're hair-on-fire enough to make the changes, you're probably going to keep waiting.

→ Have me look at the whole pile

If your business feels like it depends on you holding everything together, you might be waiting for things to calm down before you change anything. Maybe you're hoping your team gets more independent, your schedule settles down, your family needs less from you, or next year will somehow be easier.

In this episode, Alyssa looks at business structure, workload, family responsibilities, and the decisions that shape what your everyday life actually looks like. We get into why “busy” can become the default operating system of a business, and why creating a business that fits your life usually requires changing the structure instead of waiting for life to cooperate.

She thought she needed to get her motivation back - which immediately made me curious.

Because what if you don't actually need to get yourself fired up again??

What if there's something about this particular season that we should pay attention to instead of trying to bulldoze our way through it?

This one got into ambition, desire, rest, and that very weird feeling of knowing you could be doing more….

....But not actually wanting to.

We took a very normal coaching question and then asked, “Okay, but what does HER chart have to say about this?”

Come listen to this one →

If you've lost your motivation for your business or feel like you should be doing more than you actually want to do, it's easy to assume you've fallen out of love with your work. You might start looking for ways to get your ambition, productivity, or momentum back.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at motivation, ambition, rest, work-life balance, and what happens when you stop treating a quieter season like a problem that needs fixing. We get into the difference between wanting more and simply believing you should want more, and what Human Design can show you about your natural rhythm of work and rest.

What if you're not actually avoiding the work?

You know the thing.

You KNOW what needs to happen.

You sit down to do it.

And suddenly you need to reorganize something, check something, think about something, possibly make a cup of coffee…. 😂

This reading got into that whole “why the heck can't I just DO the thing?” problem and what might actually be going on underneath it.

Because this is where Human Design gets interesting. You can ask the exact same coaching question and get a completely different answer depending on who's sitting in the chair.

Come listen to me pick this one apart →

If you've created a work schedule that looks completely reasonable on paper but still can't seem to get yourself to actually do the work, you might assume you have a procrastination, motivation, or discipline problem. You've got the time blocked out. You know what needs to happen. So why are you suddenly reorganizing your desk?

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at procrastination, productivity, work style, and why knowing what you need to do doesn't always translate into doing it. We get into what can happen when you stop treating follow-through as a character flaw and start looking at the person actually trying to work inside that schedule.

Nope - you don't have to choose between the revenue you want and the client-and-kid responsibilities you’ve already got…. But you ALSO can't keep trying to fit everything into the work-at-home setup you've been putting up with.

Okay. I've been doing these little chart readings for everybody ELSE…. 'Til I thought, “Hang on. What happens if I do it for MYSELF?” 😂

So that's what I did. And I got to hear myself say all the things I tell everybody else. Like:

“How can I let this be easy?”
“You probably need to delegate that.”
“You don't actually have to be working every day.”
“Stop building your life around somebody else's definition of consistency.”

Kinda rude. 😂

So yes. I did my own reading.

Come listen to me turn the lens back on myself →

If you've ever had a Human Design reading and thought, “Okay, that's great... but what does this actually have to do with my business and my life?”, this is the experiment that puts the whole thing to the test. Because this time, Alyssa turned the chart-reading lens back on herself.

In this Human Design self-reading, Alyssa gets into Human Design for business, work style, delegation, productivity, consistency, and the pressure to work and live according to someone else's definition of success. It's a chance to hear what happens when the person doing the reading has to sit on the other side of the conversation for once.

What if you stopped needing the next thing to work?

What if you could just… try it? What if you didn't have to know whether it was going to work before you started??

What if you could treat the whole thing like a little experiment?

Try something. See what happens. Get the data. Try again.

This reading really got into that energy - especially because once we looked at her actual business and life, there were some VERY obvious places to release that pressure.

If you find yourself needing every new idea, offer, launch, or experiment to work before you're willing to try it, you may be carrying a lot more pressure than you realize. It can be hard to experiment when every decision feels like it needs to produce a clear result.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at business experimentation, decision-making, perfectionism, and the pressure to make every idea successful. We get into what happens when you stop treating every new thing as a test you have to pass and start thinking about your business more like a place where you can try things, gather information, and see what happens.

Some people look at a business and go, “Wow. This is working.”

She looks at it and goes, “Okay, but what's missing?” 😂

What are the gaps? What could make this better? What else needs to happen?

And when I saw that pattern in her reading, I wanted to talk about what happens when that way of seeing becomes your default setting.

Because it can be an incredible gift - especially when you’re in business for yourself.

If you're constantly looking at your business and thinking, “Okay, but what's missing?”, you may find it almost impossible to simply sit back and enjoy what's already working. There's always another gap, another opportunity, another improvement, another thing that could make the whole thing better.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at business growth, problem-solving, optimization, and the tendency to keep looking for what's next. We get into what happens when you recognize that seeing what's missing can be a real entrepreneurial strength, while also getting curious about what happens when that becomes your default way of seeing everything.

Where did our moment-by-moment enjoyment of life go?

Somewhere along the way, we started making our own happiness conditional on the next revenue goal, the next launch, the next metric, the next thing we can prove.

And meanwhile, there’s a whole world of quiet, daily happiness happening around us.

The coffee. The deep-focus work you actually enjoy. The kids playing. The beautiful afternoon you almost missed because you were trying to squeeze one more thing in.

If you’re realizing you’ve built a business that keeps eating those moments, the Business Cleanout is where we can look at why.

Hand me the pile →

If you're an ambitious entrepreneur who feels like you're always working toward the next revenue goal, launch, metric, or business milestone, you might recognize the strange feeling of having a successful business and still not really enjoying your life. You can be productive, driven, and good at what you do while quietly postponing all the little things that make a day feel good.

In this episode, Alyssa looks at the relationship between business success, productivity, ambition, and actually enjoying your life. We get into work-life balance, the pressure to keep achieving, and what happens when you stop making your happiness dependent on the next thing your business needs to accomplish.
