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.

This is how I fix the “interrupting toddler” problem as a mom who also owns a company…. Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

Listen - you’re allowed to hold boundaries with your toddler and reserve naptime for yourself & your business.

You’re NOT being a bad mom for sending her back to her room at nap.

Because part of working from home is having the confidence that everything your business needs today got checked off - and that directly crosses over into your mindset.

You have to know that you’re being a good mother EVEN as you’re setting those super clear time boundaries with your young kids….

And here’s how.

When your family needs you more than your business, but you still want to work…. Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

How do you readjust your week’s workflow when you know you’re going to catch the family bug sooner or later… but you’ve got clients and students and deliverable projects to keep in the air??

(And inside you’re resenting your kids for ruining your nice, was-going-to-be-productive week and swapping it out for taking care of sickies!)

The one thing I for-sure-for-sure know is that if you’ve got THIS one thing in place, it’s actually a really quick and easy process to rejigger your to-do list on the fly as soon as the first kid starts sniffling.

You’ve got this!

What happens when you’re already past capacity as a mom running an agency? Sep 11, 2025

Show notes

You’ve got clients flowing in the door; all the invoicing and transaction entering and profit taking that goes along with them; more half-finished deliverables than you can shake a stick at; oh, and a family and body that you’re supposed to take time for, too.

And the reason you haven’t done anything about it yet is that you’re on contract with each and every one of those clients, so you don’t want to do anything legally liable in your search so far for more day to day balance!

That was the case for Client A today, so here’s the unbusy medicine the productivity doctor ordered....

Best time to start your kids on chores (so you can have more CEO time)? Last month. Sep 09, 2025

Show notes

If you haven't started your kids on chores yet, now is a GREAT time to get going.

Because unless your kids are 4 and under, they can be doing chores….

….Which means it's YOUR responsibility to teach them.

Because the first and primary way you’re going to have less on your plate to do around the house - i.e., permanently do less housework - is with the two magic words of “kids” and “delegation.”

Anti-self development hack: how to AVOID working on your patterns. Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

You’re battling the same sneaky story that your brain likes to tell you - that it’s your fault for not being gracious enough and understanding enough and reframing your frustration with your team….

Newsflash: you aren’t supposed to be resenting anything in your ideal everyday life! That’s a red flag that something’s wrong.

So why are you sitting there, stewing in your own “should I say something to my content VA or should I let it blow over again” juices, instead of tweaking your workflows to stop this problem in the first place?

Here’s my sneaky UN-self-development hack....

Which is better: morning selfcare or getting a head start on your business to-do list? Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

You’re already sold on morning routines, but which is better - knocking out 5 chores before the kids get up, or using your precious quiet hours to pour into yourself?

Because you know you need to schedule in your personal recharge time on the daily, and morning’s one of the easiest times to actually guarantee it….

(Aka, win-win for your scheduling process….)

But should you ACTUALLY be doing it? Right then and there?

Because it's not going to work too well to cram both into your morning.

Which means you've got to choose.

You’ve got this!

If you’re not confident that you can knock out everything on that to-do list, and you’re tying yourself up in knots about it, that’s a “you” issue.

Listen - your task list does not have the ability to burden you. (From Allie Casazza.)

It’s how you think about it that’s affecting you.

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 7: Do NOT listen to this kind of time management advice - unless you want to stay stuck as a mom growing her online business! Aug 26, 2025

Show notes

You know WHY the "fit everything in" hacks you’ve been trying haven’t worked for you yet?

Because they’re not the full picture. They’re just the strategy part.

Those gurus are forgetting that you have kids, and you can’t just wake up at 5am every day to bang out 4 hours of work like nothing else exists.

You have luteal cycles.
You have motivation dips.
You have wake-in-the-middle-of-the-night kids.
You have stayed-up-too-late-Netflix-binging sessions.

All this, on TOP of whatever "just get disciplined" strategy they're selling you!

But they’re acting like setting your intention is the only hack you need to make "enough time for me, the business, AND my family" to magically appear – and when it doesn’t, they tell you that it’s your fault.

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 6: If work is bleeding into your weekend again (when you really need that Sunday break).... Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

It’s like Saturday is hiding out from you, hoping you won’t notice that it’s stolen most of the to-do list and hoarding all those tasks to dump on you!

But good news, here’s how my latest client and I dealt with the chore hideout monster.

S.’s words after we finished our “chase the chore monster out of hiding” session were, “Yay, all fixed - no more pushing through!”

Which is exactly what I want for YOU.
