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.

Upgrade culture vs. uplevel culture: which mindset is right? (Or are they both wrong for my stage of business?) This is how I decide! Motivation Monday Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about upgrade culture vs. uplevel culture: which mindset is right? (Or are they both wrong?)

An upgrade is allowing yourself to have a newer, better, fancier something that’s already in your life. (More travel, nicer clothes, sushi instead of McDonald’s, you get the drift.)

An uplevel is when you branch out into something new for you, often with some kind of support or price tag investment, because you realize you need additional help in this area of your life.

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about how to use your intuition correctly to guide your next life choice – ‘cause yes, you’ve got a gut instinct that’s worth following. Here’s how.

Because there’s one thing for sure – just being told to “follow your gut instinct” isn’t enough to make it happen! (I’m sorry, we don’t all just intuitively “get” this.)

Are you making the right choice with your intuition?
Do you know how to feel into your intuition?
Is your gut feeling aligned with where you want to go in life?

Let’s cut the BS and figure out how exactly to let our inner guidance direct our biz strategy picks.

Show notes

All right. You got up today and started through the motions, same as always.

Is this ever changing?

Today’s topics:

What future you has to do with your present
How to pinpoint what your ideal self is actually doing
Journal prompts to quantum leap from your present to your turning point

What’s future you enjoying that you aren’t right now?

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re asking, are you making mom life hard just to prove a point? Here’s how to stop and let rest back in.

I want you to give yourself permission to choose ease.

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about how you can take multiple days off work when you need time to get ready for the new school year – or whatever your reason is.

You know that dream of “I take whatever days off I want to with my family, whenever the need arises”?

Well, my client started doing that – automatically – without me even telling her to, before she’d even finished her six months of coaching with me!

Here’s her example, and your permission.

Productivity problems: what I do (as a biz owner who needs quiet) when all 5 of my kids have outgrown naps (but I still need time to work on my business!) Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

So your kids have outgrown naps. And now your lovely, quiet-filled afternoon schedule has completely collapsed, never to be seen again.

Screech - rewind!

No, that's not how this is going to happen. You get to have a little something different about your day going forward - aka, you get to keep naptime (even when your kids are older).

Today’s topics:

How to swap naptime for quiet time with your kids
Basic ground rules for quiet time
Why breaks matter (both for you and your children)

Because you get to enjoy an afternoon of uninterrupted biz tasks, course creation, podcast interviewing, or, heck, podcast listening - just the way you want to.

Because it's your quiet time, too.

You’ve got this!

I decided I'm allowed to take a break from being “mom” for 2 hours while I'm working from home (plus how you can, too!) Motivation Monday Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about why you’re allowed to take a break from being “mom” for 2 hours – plus how to do it.

Listen – you’re allowed to take yourself out of the house for a few hours, and leave your husband with the kids.

You’re allowed to go to the grocery store by yourself instead of letting them all come with you if you’re at the end of your rope and really needing to talk to God on the drive.

You have permission to occasionally need time away from all the little humans clustered in your life.

Client Case Study: Help – I just took a vacation, and I didn’t intend to! (How to fix a work backlog!) Productivity advice for the work at home mom! Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about what happens when you take a vacation when you didn’t intend to – aka, how to fix a work backlog!

Because sometimes your husband takes a day off when *he* needs to, but you couldn’t afford to skip everything on your own schedule.

But you did.

And now, you have to pick up the (productivity) pieces.

How do you cram a multi-day to-do list into a single day?

(I’ll give you a hint: you don’t.)

My unpopular opinion: you’re allowed to delegate something you haven’t mastered yet (in your business) – and here’s why! Jul 02, 2024

Show notes

Have you fallen into this trap? The "I must master everything" trap?

It's propagated by well-meaning coaches. Taught by outsourcing industry experts. Passed on by older moms, well-intentioned-ly mentoring younger ones.

But I call bunk.

Today’s topics:

Why you don't’ need to prove you can master something first before you’re allowed to outsource it
What performing from weakness has to do with genuine excellence in your business
The only situation when you need to learn hated tasks instead of hire an expert to take care of them for you

It's time you let yourself grow into the CEO who genuinely loves the day-to-day tasks in her business.

It's time to start babystepping your way in her direction today.

It’s time to delegate.

You’ve got this!
