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.

The 3 areas of your work-from-home life you need to outsource FIRST as an ambitious mompreneur are…. Oct 22, 2024

Show notes

Here's something I know about you if you’re a work-at-home mom: you want to work smarter, not harder.

So how does delegation play in?

In my opinion, delegation is one of the most crucial pieces for work-at-home moms to get their heads around.

Today’s topics:

What physics and outsourcing have to do with each other
Why your purpose and the laundry are at odds with one another
Getting real about your finite energy reserves and what you’re spending them on

What this means, when you come right down to it, is that you’ve got to embrace delegation. Outsourcing. Whatever you want to call it.

It’s going to be the root of your business success, ‘cause it’s what truly lets you “do it all.”

And that’s what you’re really here for as a business-owning mom.

You’ve got this!

Why shouldn’t you make it easier on yourself if you're working from home? (Quit buying into mom guilt as a business owner!) Oct 08, 2024

Show notes

Here's your thought-provoking question for today: why shouldn’t you make it easier?

What's so wrong about making your #momlife or your biz support structures super easy for you?

Like, "this doesn't take any effort at all, I can't believe it's so easy" for you?

I'm talking food prep routines, 20-minute supper repertoires, and ultra-fast delegate-to-VA SOPs. All of it.

Today’s topics:

Why being easy doesn’t equate to being lazy (and why your brain may have misunderstood the difference!)
Why down-shifting your meal plan tonight isn’t a sign of failure on your part
How to use the power of streamlining to support yourself as a work-at-home mom and business owner

Do yourself a favor, quit putting the "full course meal every night" expectations on yourself, and just go for those 5-minute instapot recipes.

You're allowed.

You’ve got this!

Are you using caffeine to avoid selfcare as a business mom? Don’t fall into this typical entrepreneur trap! Oct 01, 2024

Show notes

Listen - you've got to stop using another cup of coffee to get through your day. (And this is coming from a coffee drinker, so don't think I'm hating on a tasty hot drink. I'm not.)

What you're doing is fundamentally overloading your capacity, refusing to cut today's to-dos down to size, and leaning on caffeine to get you through that task list.

Don't. Stop.

That's against the whole point of becoming unbusy - your day is supposed to be manageable without energy drinks and drugs, not only barely with it!

Today’s topics:

What to do if your caffeine addiction is due to a too-long to-do list
What the real fix for your situation is (spoiler alert: it’s not coffee!)
How to give yourself a natural energy boost to combat the slump periods during your day

Because your system, its hormones, and its energy levels, is worth being supported by the right amount of caffeine - the enjoyable amount - not being overloaded by it.

You're worth it.

It's time to chop your to-do list, and go be unbusy.

You’ve got this!
