The Unbusy Mom - work/life balance strategies for business moms

So. You’re a mom, with a life, and kids, and a business – oh, and don’t forget about the house cleaning! How do you stay on top of everything, aka, get it all done?! 

I’m about to let you in on the secret…. 

Today’s topics:

• Time track the mom stuff
• Pinpoint your biz energy times
• Pre-plan your workday (I know you know this - but are you really doing it?)

Are you suffering from a major case of “I know that already” itis? 

See yourself, see the pattern, and change. ‘Cause that’s always the way forward. 

You’ve got this!

Here's your thought-provoking question for today: why shouldn’t you make it easier? 

What's so wrong about making your #momlife or your biz support structures super easy for you?

Like, "this doesn't take any effort at all, I can't believe it's so easy" for you?

I'm talking food prep routines, 20-minute supper repertoires, and ultra-fast delegate-to-VA SOPs. All of it.

Today’s topics:

• Why being easy doesn’t equate to being lazy (and why your brain may have misunderstood the difference!)
• Why down-shifting your meal plan tonight isn’t a sign of failure on your part
• How to use the power of streamlining to support yourself as a work-at-home mom and business owner

Do yourself a favor, quit putting the "full course meal every night" expectations on yourself, and just go for those 5-minute instapot recipes.

You're allowed.

You’ve got this!

Are you worried your business is taking over your life? I mean, you think it's perfectly fine living this way, with biz work every spare second, but all the experts tell you not to, so.... Who's right?

If you're feeling any concern over how much passion project work is too much, then you want to listen to this episode - because we're diving right into all of it.

How to unplug, when not to unplug, and what to do when you're scared you're giving less of yourself to your family than your business.

Today’s topics:

• The phase of business where you just can’t get enough of it
• What you should be doing with your hobbies and courses during this season
• How to cope if mom guilt over your increasing business hours is the real issue

Now that you know this is different - that you don't have to be guilting yourself for treating your business like a suck-every-hour hobby - what are you changing about your mental self-talk today?

You’ve got this!

Listen - you've got to stop using another cup of coffee to get through your day. (And this is coming from a coffee drinker, so don't think I'm hating on a tasty hot drink. I'm not.)

What you're doing is fundamentally overloading your capacity, refusing to cut today's to-dos down to size, and leaning on caffeine to get you through that task list.

Don't. Stop.

That's against the whole point of becoming unbusy - your day is supposed to be manageable without energy drinks and drugs, not only barely with it!

Today’s topics:

• What to do if your caffeine addiction is due to a too-long to-do list
• What the real fix for your situation is (spoiler alert: it’s not coffee!)
• How to give yourself a natural energy boost to combat the slump periods during your day

Because your system, its hormones, and its energy levels, is worth being supported by the right amount of caffeine - the enjoyable amount - not being overloaded by it.

You're worth it. 

It's time to chop your to-do list, and go be unbusy.

You’ve got this!

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about what to do if you still haven’t got used to your new schedule, and it’s been weeks – do you need to quit?

Sometimes you need to quit your new schedule right away, and other times you need to keep pushing through and give yourself time to get used to it.

This is one of those other times.

How do you know? Because your intuition is a little out of whack right now.

You just gave yourself permission to do something fun for yourself – to rest more – to enjoy a lighter schedule – and it’s feeling really uncomfortable.

Here’s why.

What happens when you hit your limit? It could be either at home or in the business. 

In fact, let's take each one and run through both examples, so you know exactly what you need to do next time you've run into a decision-making capacity limit - because I don't want you to just barely skirt the edges of burn out and call that good enough.

I want you to thrive.

Today’s topics:

• How to hand off truly essential tasks and know they’ll get done
• What computer RAM has to do with your brain
• Real life examples of how to hand off launch tasks or mom projects so they’re off your plate

So take heart, start starring that to-do list, and let's get you out of your overwhelm, back to crushing that business owning #momlife.

You just need a few less things on your plate.

You’ve got this!

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about why you don’t have to know the whole 5-year plan for your business – because planning your next season is enough.

Because you know what?

It’s okay to only know what to do for your next season (in the business, or in your family), and you’re going to get there.

What do you think would be on your task list if you could start from the ground up? Like, what do you feel like doing today? (That’s productive and furthering your purpose and all that.)

What if you released all timelines around the must do’s currently on your to-do list? How would you move through them then?

These are the kind of questions I want you to ask yourself as you begin to reshape your life. As you begin to walk unbusy.

Because if you never ask yourself if there could be another way, you’ll never find one – and that’s the true tragedy.

Today’s topics:

• Hard hitting questions to prioritize your planner
• Sneaky ways to get around your over achieving tendencies (especially for your to do list)
• A guide to releasing your own expectations so you can start getting realistic about what fits in your day

Couldn’t you just live life at the speed that works for you, and not worry what anyone else thinks?

‘Cause change doesn’t tend to come from frazzled gurus. (Amazing, right?)

You have to - get to - take radical ownership of your life choices.

You're choosing to do something with your time, with your money, not just follow the flow. 

And that's what goal-seeking, goal-hitting entrepreneurship is all about. Harnessing that flow to your own devices.
