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.

When you say “I need accountability,” you’re lying to yourself. This is what you actually need for your business as a hard-working mom! Motivation Monday Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about why you don’t need an accountability coach in business as a mom – plus what you actually need instead.

Here’s why hoping someone will hold you accountable is the wrong way to go about it, look at your business, or solve your life problems.

Now, absolutely, you're allowed to ask for support - but you don't need a drill instructor. An “accountability coach” (that’s a fancy way of saying a “business mother” to nag you).

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.

Is work/life balance impossible when you’re an overachiever? Let’s talk selfcare and boundaries, plus the goals you should actually be setting for yourself! Nov 26, 2024

Show notes

Are you one of my many overachievers? Yes, you right now, listening to this podcast?

Hey - I'm an overachiever, too. And it can be a great thing - a useful thing. But only if we let it - make it - stay within some boundaries.

Because if we let ourselves go all out - just feed this work and to-dos and nothing else beast - pretty soon we're going to have nothing left of our families, our health, and ourselves but monster mode.

And that's not how you want to be living.

Today’s topics:

The real reason why overachievers have such trouble setting (and holding to!) their own boundaries
Why you’re resisting self-care as an overachiever
How to set realistic goals when you’re an overachiever

You see, you can still be an overachiever and have healthy ways of doing goals. It's totally possible.

You just have to subtly tweak each goal to include rest, and exclude hustle.

You’ve got this!

Client Case Study: The 5am crowd is BS-ing you! (Work/life balance advice for the work-at-home mom) Nov 07, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about how to get out of the grind when living in rat race mode doesn’t align with your values.

You’ve probably started listening to this podcast precisely because you want to get out of the rat race mode.

(If efficiency tips were all you wanted, you’d have stuck with the guy productivity podcasts. Right?)

So when my client came to me wondering how to actually, practically, live with a clear schedule, I wasn’t surprised.

She’d completely caught the vision for an unbusy way of living. She was just in the “but how do I make this happen?” part.

Because it’s one thing to schedule, and customize, and carefully calendar and craft your day – it’s another to actually live it in an unbusy way.

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about what to do if you’re stuck in the guilt and shame spiral over not having enough time for your business.

The one she really wanted to do.

The purpose she felt God had put on her life.

Which is where I came in. Find out how I coached her around this sensitive financial decision!
