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.

How to Scale Without the Hustle as a Service Provider with Laura Baum Jan 20, 2025

Show notes

Today, we have a bonus episode for you! We’re bringing on a guest, Laura Baum, to talk about how to scale without the hustle as a service provider.

You see, Laura’s health program offerings shifted from in person brick and mortar to hybrid at the end of 2018 when she realized that growing to scale her local service and product-based business would require more overhead expenses and marketing than her newer online only business offers.
After successfully navigating her own autoimmunity with herbs and holistic health tools, she then built a company to bring her solutions to other people. Then, on a mission to strengthen holistic healthcare businesses, Laura started helping other businesses since her own company pivot went so well.

What do you need? And are you allowing yourself to take it? To back plan for it? To set the alarm for it?
Because yes – you CAN have exactly what you’re longing for.
(You probably don’t even have to wait for him to be old enough for kindergarten or for her to get potty trained.)

You have complete permission to redo your daily WFH schedule every time THIS happens! Jan 14, 2025

Show notes

Don't feel guilty for letting your work hours ebb and flow according to your family season.
If you're stretched out on the sofa trying not to move anything so you don't throw up, don't bother typing and doing hardcore studying - that pregnancy nausea is ALLOWED to be too distracting for you.
And conversely, if your youngest just started school, and you suddenly have 2 more hours in the workday than you used to, don't feel guilty for using that to work on your business.
We're all envying you when we can't, so don't you back off now that you have the hours and the energy to actually START working more!
Here’s what both of these scenarios have in common….

Want to know the 2 biggest myths about working from home with your kids around? Jan 09, 2025

Show notes

Did you believe these 2 myths when you first started work-at-home days with your kids?
Because if you have the right mindset about what you are and aren’t allowed to do in your business (and your family’s daily schedule, and your kids’ playtimes), then no mom guilt is allowed.
It just doesn’t exist. It’s not a thing.
All because you got straight in what your role is right here, right now; what your kids can handle (as far as being away from you); and what you should be doing with each and every precious ounce of non-kid-focused energy.
And that’s the clarity that’ll get you to 6 figures and beyond - whether you’re putting in 15 hours a week on your business, or 30.
Doesn’t matter. You are going to get there.
Because you’re so crystal clear on what you can and can’t do, and you’ve got zero mindset gunk (aka mom guilt) about it.

You’ve got this!

The secret to 1% success in the entrepreneurial space (when you're a female business owner with kids) is THIS. Jan 07, 2025

Show notes

Do you know how to be a 1% woman?

“A 1% woman remembers who the *** she is.” (This is from Cait Scudder.)

Because how many of you were like me, and got into online business because you wanted a challenge and starting your own business seemed like the best way to lean into your ambitions. Anyone raising a hand?

And you don’t have to be a broke breadwinner to deserve a chance to succeed.

‘Cause your spot at the table comes from your desire to do online marketing so that you can benefit other women.

And that’s all the permission you need.

You’ve got this!

DO this FIRST to make a realistic productivity plan for all of 2025 (especially when you’re planning your launch calendar)! Jan 02, 2025

Show notes

Woo hoo! You’re on the early planning train; you’ve just got January all set to your satisfaction; and you’re setting your sights on everything past your first quarter (‘cause why waste all this “get up and go” energy when you could be taking charge of your entire business schedule for the year, am I right?).

Wait, not so fast. I know you’re all motivated and gung ho now, but what about when you’re in July and it’s pool-with-the-kids mode (or worse yet, May and you’re all wrung out for your business ‘cause you’ve spent too much time go-go-going, and now you’re all wrung out?).

Before you schedule in every available nook and cranny on your calendar to be a super productive, the-most-amazing-ever business income year, we need to get clear on one thing: you aren’t always going to have this level of energy for your business.

So that means we need to schedule in some “not full tilt” biz weeks for you throughout the year, just so you aren’t beating yourself up over not meeting some “January first” level of energy expendability 52 out of 52 weeks of the year. Okay?

Because I was able to grow my business as a busy mom with only 3 things per day on my to-do list - and if I got these results, then you can, too!

Client Case Study: THIS is the easiest way to up your monthly revenue without wrecking your carefully balanced work-at-home schedule! Dec 30, 2024

Show notes

You’re loving your hours (both daily and weekly view), and you’re really leaning into your WFH-with-kids life and soaking it all up.

(Half days with your kids! No stress when they come home sick! Slow mornings sipping coffee and snuggling them around the house!)

FINALLY you have the calendar you dreamed of.

And then along comes a financial problem in your personal life. All of a sudden, you need a ton more money than you’re getting.

And you’re wondering how you’re going to stretch to fit this financially, plus what monetary sacrifices you’ll need to make (if you can’t find a way to increase your income), as well as feeling kind of resentful that now you don’t get to enjoy that nice, new WFH schedule.

Because earning money takes precedence, and the budget stress potential is eating you up.

Guess what – one of my clients was in this exact same situation, and here’s the sneaky solution I found her….

Client Case Study: What you REALLY mean when you say you’re not making enough progress on that! Dec 26, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about a common feeling for coaching clients, aka, when you don’t feel like you’re making any progress. (In other words, where your wins are hiding!)
One of my clients recently was expressing some frustration to me that she didn’t feel like she was making as much progress as she’d wanted, halfway through our coaching.
But here’s the neat part: she knew what to do – right away – the moment she gave herself permission to explore it. To imagine it might be possible for her.
So here’s what I told her….
