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.

Do THIS if you lost 2 hours today, and that threw off your entire schedule off track! (Aka, how to get back on the productivity bandwagon!) May 20, 2025

Show notes

If your CEO day is going off the rails, here’s a little pep talk for you: Don’t let your entire day be shot just because one 2-hour segment of it got out of whack.

Seriously. That’s 2 hours, out of 24.

You have all the rest of your day to play with. (Well, not play, but you know what I mean.)

You weren’t fooling around. You just got derailed in your day.

BUT - it doesn’t have to be the norm for you. You just have to have the strategies in place to handle it for when it DOES come up.

You’ve got this!

Her Personal Journey with Reiki as Selfcare with Amanda Fortin of Nurture Herself May 19, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever considered reiki as selfcare??

Today’s guest, Amanda Fortin, talks about how she learned to support and take care of herself through the process of becoming a reiki practitioner.

(She helps women learn and implement what nurturing yourself means to them - which is very close to my own mission of un-frazzling everyone’s life!)

Pop in your earbuds & listen....

All the things you DON’T have to do before getting yourself some serious productivity help as a WFH entrepreneur mom! (Industry myth busting time!) May 15, 2025

Show notes

These days, you have to do a whole lot of spadework before you’re allowed to start something.

I mean, before you can make a change to your workout habits, you’re supposed to research everything ad nauseum, buy just the right gear, set up your schedule, fill the latest and greatest water bottle – whatever happened to “just trying it” with a little jog-around-the-block habit for 30 days?

Why all this “get your life together and THEN we’ll let you change it”?

You’re told you need to know what went wrong first, maybe do a little self-analysis on what in your past caused you to behave this way, set up a schedule for yourself (‘cause if you don’t try something, you’ll never know what the sticking point is!), work that self-discipline muscle, set up all the systems and planners…..

They’re practically telling you you have to DO the change first before they’re going to help you!

Not me - here’s why I take a stand against this.

You’ve got this!

You do NOT have to check this off before delegating in your business (as a mom looking to scale her online empire!) May 13, 2025

Show notes

Let’s play myth busters again with a common concern of growing and scaling business owners: when do I know it’s time to delegate? When am I allowed to outsource?

Here we go. Myth or truth:

You can only outsource after you’ve learned to do everything in your business yourself.
You’re allowed to delegate, but only after you’ve had your first successful launch.
You need to hit your first six-figure year before you’re allowed to delegate anything – because it’s proof of concept.
You have to be at max personal capacity before you can bring on team.
You can only bring on team after*you’ve proven you can “do it yourself” and “go it alone” as a solopreneur.

What do you feel like you have to do first before you’re allowed to delegate anything?

(It’s probably untrue.)

You’ve got this!

Client Case Study: You have TWO choices for your work schedule this summer. Which are you picking? May 08, 2025

Show notes

What happens when your kids get home from school?

What does that do to your work hours? What do you WANT that to do to your work hours?

This is what one of my clients came to me with recently. She was looking forward to the start of the summer break season, but also practically evaluating her schedule and cutting down on client hours so she could spend more time with her kids.

Here’s how she did it – without sacrificing ANY of her monthly revenue.

Work with THIS kind of expert to expand your money ceiling! (Please steal my secrets as a CEO mom!) May 06, 2025

Show notes

Because you can't possibly NOT record more episodes faster, find 9 other things to delegate to your VA, throw your freed-up time at the top 2 revenue generating activities for your business, and clarify your CEO schedule (so you have both the white space and the energetic times you need) after getting an efficiency overhaul.

'Cause with more time for clients, content creation, launch planning, and the like, how can you NOT succeed?

You already have a dozen great strategies. You've been jotting down tons of ideas listening into all those Q&A calls and biz buddy venting sessions.

All you need is the time to execute. (And the white space to prioritize them!)

Here’s how more productivity coaching = more money back in your pocket as the CFO of your business.

You’ve got this!

Client Case Study: Fix THIS about your work-from-home day to get your clients to stop crossing your client/coach or client/service provider boundaries! May 01, 2025

Show notes

This client came to me with what seemed like an overwhelmed schedule issue, that really turned out to be a boundaries problem - so if you think this might be you, listen in.

She was a very successful business owner, but she couldn’t seem to make her family life work the way she wanted it to.

Her son wouldn’t obey her chore requests, constantly interrupted client meetings (to the point that she was having to work odd hours), and took up all of her time off work time.

(No wonder she was hitting burnout!)

But at the same time, when we dug into her business end on our session, we discovered that some of her clients were treating her the same way - like a doormat.

Find out what her fix was….

Go ahead, make your family uncomfortable. (YOU stick with your purpose as a CEO mom.) Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

If you’ve been feeling in the weeds of ordinary, mundane mom life lately - if you need a wake-up call to get back in your purpose and back on track to your God-given goals for your humming-along-nicely business - then here’s a quote for you today.

“Are you more committed to keeping the people around you comfortable, or are you more committed to your own” purpose? That’s from Cait Scudder.

And you know what, she’s right. Let that sink in again.

“Are you more committed to keeping the people around you comfortable, or are you more committed to your own” purpose?

Because the how and why and what you show up for in your day-to-day have everything to do with your 1% purpose. What God put in you to share with the world.

And that may directly go against the comfort level of some of the people currently in your life.

You’ve got this!

Just 3 items on your to-do list. Is that enough for an entire work day? Apr 24, 2025

Show notes

(First, we’re cheating: your business and your home life get separate task lists.)

‘Cause I’m sorry, writing launch emails is a totally different head space than prepping the Instapot.

But only doing 3 things is going to force you to prioritize your day.

Because if you limit your to-do’s, you’ll finish them every single time.

You’ve got this!
