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.

Why it’s essential that you block out your most productive time of day to work on your top business tasks, NOT housework! (If you’re a work-at-home mom with kids around!) Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

Do you know when you're most productive in the morning?

And are you blocking out that time for yourself, or are you letting it get taken up with everyone else's to-dos and chore lists for you?

Today's rut-changing quote is from Allie Casazza, who says, “I respect myself enough to block out my mornings and shift my work schedule according to how I need it to be to make me at my optimal emotional health.”

Today’s topics:

Why you’re not high maintenance for sticking to a schedule
Why carefully choosing which business hours you allocate during your day matters
How to set up your day so that you’re in charge of your creativity, not wishing you had brainpower for it (even with kids around!)

You're in control of your schedule.

You're in control of when you food prep for your family.

You get to choose what comes through on your phone and who gets to interrupt you.

You’ve got this!
