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

You’re ambitious. You want the money, the challenge, the launches, the strategy, the satisfaction of figuring out a hard problem and thinking, yep, I nailed that.

So how did we end up here?

Working all day and still not getting to the thing you actually wanted to do. Feeling pulled in a million directions. Putting your own projects off again. Being the CEO of your business and somehow also the COO of everybody else’s life.

‘Cause you can make the launch work. The kids’ schedules work. The team work. The Sunday night work. The vacation-with-the-laptop work.

You can make almost anything work.

Until you look up and think… wait. Why am I doing all of this?

I’m Alyssa, and I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out how to build a business I love without making my entire life revolve around keeping it running.

On The Unbusy Mom, we’re going to question some of the things you’ve probably accepted as just how business works.

We’ll talk about motherhood, ambition, Human Design, time management, delegation, productivity…. And the invisible responsibilities that make your business feel heavier than it needs to be.

I.e., what actually has to change when you want a business AND a life. Because I don’t think you’re here to prove how much you can carry.

Because I don’t think you’re here to prove how much you can carry.

You wanted it all – business AND kids.

So you’re going to have to make some changes to the structure of the one you’ve already got.

Does this count as “being too selfish” when you’re a business mom? (Nope.) Nov 18, 2025

Show notes

Where in the world did we get this idea??

The one that says, “moms aren’t allowed to like their lives, ‘cause if they do, they’re not being unselfish and that’s not allowed”?

Look – “It is not selfish to set up your life in a way that suits you.” (Allie Casazza.)

Are you having trouble with that? Is it too radical for you?

I know you’re practically a martyr to your idea of what a family should be…. But what effect is that having on your kids?

You’ve got this!

Show notes

You’re still holding onto a lot of the client onboarding support, repeatable operations tasks, DM templates whenever you’re social selling, and keeping the discussion moving during all the team meetings.

Introverts, businesses, alone time, plus 5 kids in the mix?! Nov 11, 2025

Show notes

You’re thinking: I’ve got an entire van-ful of kids - I won’t get peace and quiet again for another twelve years!

Me as mom of 5: Are you the grown-up, or are they??

I mean, I get that they’re loud. I get that that many kids make a LOT of messes.

But who said they get to run all over you?

Disobey whenever you ask them to bring their dishes to the sink?

“Forget” to hang up the towel on the floor?

Here’s where you need to turn the cultural “mom serves the family” narrative around and be the boss your kids need (so you can keep showing up for your business).

You’ve got this!

Why me time after your kids get home from school isn’t working for you (when you’re also running a business). Nov 06, 2025

Show notes

You’ve got the hobby time reminder on the calendar every single day, for goodness’ sake – yet somehow, it never seems to happen….

While the productivity experts tell you you’ve done everything you need to and it’s not their fault why hobby time isn’t happening for you.

Rewind time….

Yes, it IS somebody’s fault that you aren’t getting to knit that cute winter beanie – because there was one more step the gurus forgot to mention to you.

CEO leadership - applied to your family & chore list. (Working mom hacks!) Nov 04, 2025

Show notes

If leading is serving, but serving does not automatically equal leading, what should you NOT be doing?

Remember, you’re the mom AND the CEO. The manager of your family.

You’re not SUPPOSED to be doing everything.

And I don’t believe that you need to be on the hook for every single thing as the mom. (Or even 50% of it!)

Balancing Both Ep. 8: The ONE truth about schedules that business coaches won't tell you… but I will! Oct 28, 2025

Show notes

As much as I talk about schedules, here’s the real truth that all the efficiency gurus out there won’t tell you.

You can’t fix a too-full calendar by simply scheduling better.

It’s a house of cards about to fall down.

Every time you say, “What, again?! I don’t have time for this!” .

...That’s what I’m telling you.

You can’t construct your schedule to only work in the “everything’s going perfectly” phases and forget about the no food in the house/late to school/launch assets not yet ready ones.

But my way, the unbusy way, puts strategies in place to skip all of that.

Balancing Both Ep. 7: What happens when you make “to do list zero” your top priority as a biz mom? (It’s not pretty!) Oct 23, 2025

Show notes

2 more things just hopped onto your to-do list – which means your lunch break today is now 12 minutes shorter.

But wait - that “to-do list elasticity” is actually the gremlin of all your “ease and flow” work hours.

So stop putting up with “never done till 9pm” homework, and start doing THIS instead

‘Cause you’ll never change if you never try something different.

Balancing Both Ep. 6: Behind the scenes of my quarterly planning process as a work-from-home mom & CEO! Oct 21, 2025

Show notes

Want to see how I pick my own set of biz priorities for myself?

(When I'm sitting down to do the weekly content planning, podcast batching, or just backend launch task collecting.)

Here’s how I plan my business priorities week to week, and all the nitty gritty tasks that go with them - because I built my workflows around guaranteeing that everything I need to cross off today - aka, TRULY needs to be done today - is going to get done….

All by leveraging a simple system of calendaring and Google docs.
