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.

Client Case Study: The ultimate hack for leveling up and getting comfortable with it! (As a mom who's running a successful business) Sep 26, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about what to do if you still haven’t got used to your new schedule, and it’s been weeks – do you need to quit?
Sometimes you need to quit your new schedule right away, and other times you need to keep pushing through and give yourself time to get used to it.
This is one of those other times.
How do you know? Because your intuition is a little out of whack right now.
You just gave yourself permission to do something fun for yourself – to rest more – to enjoy a lighter schedule – and it’s feeling really uncomfortable.
Here’s why.

Are you overachiever tendencies blocking your next income level from coming through? Sep 19, 2024

Show notes

What do you think would be on your task list if you could start from the ground up? Like, what do you feel like doing today? (That’s productive and furthering your purpose and all that.)

What if you released all timelines around the must do’s currently on your to-do list? How would you move through them then?

These are the kind of questions I want you to ask yourself as you begin to reshape your life. As you begin to walk unbusy.

Because if you never ask yourself if there could be another way, you’ll never find one – and that’s the true tragedy.

Today’s topics:

Hard hitting questions to prioritize your planner
Sneaky ways to get around your over achieving tendencies (especially for your to do list)
A guide to releasing your own expectations so you can start getting realistic about what fits in your day

Couldn’t you just live life at the speed that works for you, and not worry what anyone else thinks?

‘Cause change doesn’t tend to come from frazzled gurus. (Amazing, right?)

You’ve got this!

Client Case Study: Have you been avoiding your (rather needy) kids lately because working on the business feels easier? Sep 12, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about what to do if you’re avoiding your family because work feels easier – because yes, there is a fix.
Here’s what happened to one of my clients recently, and I’m betting you’ve felt the same way.
