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.

Inside the chart: Your Human Design can't delegate your laundry. Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

We already know your Human Design chart can't delegate your laundry. 😂

It can, however, tell us some really interesting things about how you want to work.

And once we put that against your actual life? That's when the fun starts. 😂

This reading gets into energy, work style, delegation, family responsibilities, and what she's going to have to change if she wants her business to actually fit her.

If you're an entrepreneur trying to balance your business, family responsibilities, household tasks, and everything else that somehow ends up on your list, you may have wondered what Human Design actually has to do with your real life. Because your chart is lovely, but somebody still has to deal with the laundry.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa puts the chart alongside the actual mess of work, family responsibilities, delegation, and daily life. We get into Human Design for work and family life, how you naturally want to work, and what happens when you look at your real responsibilities through the lens of how you're actually wired.

Nope - you don't actually have to choose between the business you want and the life you want.

That's what the Business Cleanout is for.

You send me the messy version of your business, your responsibilities, your projects, your team, your life.

I'll take your whole pile and turn it around within 30 days.

Because you don't need to spend another month trying to make everything fit.

You need to see what can change so you can crush the goals you've been dreaming about and still be there for the kids.

Real life vs. human design: You’re using the wrong productivity system. Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

I bet your productivity system's fighting the way you're actually designed to work. 😯

'Cause the way you're trying to schedule yourself is making everything harder, not easier.

Same thing for her....

We talked about where she wants freedom in her day, where she actually needs structure, and why a rigid “must do this in this order” schedule may be exactly the wrong setup for her.

Come listen to me pick this apart →

If you've tried productivity systems, time blocking, routines, or carefully planned workdays and still feel like you're fighting your own schedule, you might be using a system that doesn't actually fit the way you work. The fact that a productivity method works beautifully for someone else doesn't mean your brain, energy, or work style wants the same thing.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa takes a closer look at how to create a productivity system that actually works for you. We get into structure, freedom, workday organization, and the surprisingly important question of what you actually need in order to get things done without constantly fighting your own system.

Nope - you don't actually have to choose between the business you want and the life you want.

Inside the chart: She couldn't figure out why she wasn't getting more done. Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

She thought she had a motivation problem - I wasn't so sure.

(You know, the kind of day where you KNOW you should be working, but you just can't seem to get yourself moving....)

So I started poking around in her energy, her work style, and what happened on the days when the business was the only thing on her plate.

And we found something really interesting.

If you're an entrepreneur who keeps wondering why you can't get yourself to do the things you know you need to do, you might assume you have a motivation or productivity problem. Maybe you've tried better routines, more structure, stricter goals, or simply telling yourself to buckle down and get it done.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at the question underneath the motivation problem: What if the way you're working is actually creating the problem? We get into work style, energy, productivity, and what can happen when you look at how someone is actually wired before deciding they need to try harder.

Nope - you don't actually have to choose between the business you want and the life you want.

Why Does It Only Work for 2 Weeks? Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

The routine looked great on paper - but then Tuesday happened. ;)

A client call ran long, school pickup shifted, somebody suddenly needed poster board….

Eventually, that poster board can get taken care of - without taking your whole afternoon with it. :D

If consistency seems to disappear the moment real life shows up….

This Wasn't Just a Busy Season Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

The funny part?

Your schedule details keep changing - but that too-full feeling doesn't.

Different planner. Different season…. Same frustration.

Imagine if "after this" could disappear from your mom vocabulary. ;)

That's usually worth paying attention to.

Oops - Busy Won the Day Again Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

You worked all day - but somehow the thing you cared about most is still sitting there.

The annoying part? Plenty of other things got done. ;)

One day, “productive” and “important” become the same workday.

If you keep ending the day wondering where the time went...

The Client Call That Came Along to Grocery Pickup Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

You're answering a client message, thinking about dinner, remembering the permission slip, AND trying to finish the podcast script in front of you….

All at the same time.

Which is impressive in a way that isn't actually helpful. ;)

But one day... the podcast script gets your WHOLE brain.

If your day always feels a little fragmented….

Problem Is, Your Brain Never Left the Last Meeting Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

You're getting things done. Like, a LOT of things.

The calls happen. The tasks get checked off…. But somehow the project that needed your whole brain gets whatever attention is left.

But one day, checking something off actually lets your brain cross it off, too. ;)

If your to-do list keeps moving, but your brain doesn’t….

Why Do My To-Do’s Feel Like a List of Things to Manage? Aug 10, 2026

Show notes

You wanted flexibility.

Instead, some days feel like one long series of things needing you. Client thing. Kid thing. School thing. Package thing. Snack thing....

But one day, your day stops answering everybody ELSE first.

You Have 47 Tabs Open Again Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

Some days you wake up motivated - some days you don't.

But it's kind of suspicious when the same project keeps getting delayed on both kinds of days.... ;)

At least, ‘til motivation stops deciding whether Tuesday works.

That's where my brain starts asking questions.
