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 to fix a crazy morning routine when you've got 3 kids to get out the door to school! (Before you can work on your business.) Feb 20, 2025

Show notes

What do you do if you've got kids who go to school (which theoretically means you have lots of nice free time during the day), but that means your morning routine is crazy and your evening homework/food in mouth/drive everybody to extracurriculars routine is even worse?

That’s what this client came to me about.

She liked the mid-afternoon free time that came with her schedule, but not only were her mornings completely non-restful, her evenings had way too much to fit in!

And her kids were starting to stay up late because of it. With the predictable results the next morning.

Keep listening to find out what I did….

You’ve got this!

Do this NOW, even if you haven’t earned it yet in your business! Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

You feel like it’s the unspoken rule of your life: moms don’t rest till they’re done.

(Which means never - especially since you have a successful business to keep up with.)

What our culture tell us:

It’s bad to sit down in the middle of the day.
It’s wrong to flop halfway through your morning.
It’s lazy to quit before the to-do list is all crossed off.

Where did we get this idea that rest equals laziness?

You’ve got this!

Use this ONE hack to calm your nervous system as a busy working mom! Feb 13, 2025

Show notes

We both know that regulating our nervous system is incredibly good for us, and we’d LIKE to be de-stressed, but sometimes it’s hard to get there practically as a mother.

You’ve got the kids crawling all over you, maybe another one actually on you (nursing or just hanging on!), school activities to plan, food to eat (oh wait, make), and all the minutiae that comes with running a family – and it’s all so incredibly activating.

(If nothing else, due to the sheer noise level!)

So what can you do, as a business-owning mom, to get to that delicious internal state of an unfrazzled nervous system?

You’ve got this!

Client case study: You’re forgetting THIS about taking care of yourself when you hit the CEO level! Feb 06, 2025

Show notes

Have you been going, going, going so hard on your business - and then taking care of the kids - that you're neglecting yourself?
Forgetting that you have needs, too, and ignoring the very basic food and shower and sleep priorities that keep you running?
Sometimes we just get so caught up in one more work project, and "oh, the kids need this," and "I don't have time to do that" that we think it's no big deal to skip our own breakfast, do it again for our lunch (just eat the kids' leftovers, if there are any), and spend the supper hour rushing around to making sure everyone ELSE’S needs are met.
This has to stop.
You'll never run on all cylinders as a business owner if you keep letting yourself get to the fumes level on your OWN nutrition, your OWN hygiene, and your OWN sleep.

You’ve got this!

Client case study: Do THIS to relaunch your business after mat leave and pivot your services at the same time! Jan 30, 2025

Show notes

You had a difficult birth, or started your business pre-kids, and now post-maternity leave, you’re getting that “time to get things rolling again” feeling for your business.
One of my clients was in this exact situation, and to make matters even more dicey, she was looking at a complete business pivot and reboot on top.
She said, “I’m feeling a lot of anxiety over getting things up and running, pivoting my product suite, and re-setting up all my old work times and routines post baby. How do I choose the exact right thing to do next? I’ve got so much already invested in terms of business foundations, and I don’t want to waste that.”
Here’s what we did…. (And it’s not what you’d expect!)

The real reason why it’s hard to do THIS in your everyday mom-running-a-business life! Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

Yes, I admit it – it’s hard to change.
Your brain keeps wanting to pull you back into those same negative thinking patterns of self-scolding each and every time you get something wrong.
You’re automatically self-sabotaging every week you build a new habit.
Your body’s just trying to keep the status quo (even if your higher self knows better).
But you know how you’re going to overcome this - by crafting that picture of your new life.
New body.
New habit.
And this picture is SO compelling that you return to it over and over, no matter how many times you fall down along the way.
No, it’s not going to be “easy” to uplevel yourself enough to delegate 85% of your chores, or take breaks whenever your cycle needs you to, or limit yourself to a 3-item to-do list.
But that’s what your multi-6-figure dream requires.
And more than anything else, you want that dream.
You’ve got this!
