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.

Controversial opinion: Take breaks MORE often than you worry about productivity! (Yes, even when you're a work-at-home mom!) Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

I know this sounds super counter-productive, but you do actually need to be taking breaks in your day (not just cramming more and more through the priority list).

If that sounds way too slowed down, and just plain non-efficient, hear me out.

Today’s topics:

The downfall of overtime when it comes to quality content and client service
Where creative time and rest for your brain fit into the time equation
How building rest into your schedule allows you to hit all the parenting, food prepping, and playing you need (which ultimately make you more productive)

'Cause slowing down is truly going to speed you up.

You just have to start living like you believe it - starting today.

You’ve got this!

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about my controversial opinion that changing yourself (or your schedule) a little at a time is enough.
This is for someone who’s in a busy season right now and just swamped with all the demands on her time.
