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 keeping your house perfect shouldn’t be your top priority as a working mom! Motivation Monday Jul 01, 2024

Show notes

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about why keeping your house perfect shouldn’t be your top priority as a mom.

Does that sound counter-intuitive? Counterproductive, maybe?

(You don’t know what my kids are like! If I weren’t on top of the house, there’d be mud all over every surface, every day!)

Sure, sure – I get that. But I’m asking about your priorities here.

Is your true priority keeping your meals top notch, your cleaning as good as a paid housekeeping service, and your laundry crisply folded, down to the underwear?

Here’s why you shouldn’t be thinking like that….

Client Case Study: Kids skipping chores because it’s summer break (and expecting you to do them)? Productivity advice for the work at home mom! Jun 27, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about what to do if your kids are skipping chores because it’s summer break – but expecting you to do them!

Because it’s totally understandable why you’re feeling like this, and yes, it needs to change (the chore load, not your feelings).

Here’s what I told my client when she was in this situation (is this you, too?):

· totally overwhelmed (because the summer’s even busier than the school year)

· her kids weren’t doing their share anymore (while expecting her to make up for their weight)

· feeling very grumpy towards her family

Why your biggest weakness is actually your greatest strength as a business owning mom! Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

Today we’re talking about why your handicap is actually your greatest strength (both in #momlife and in biz).

This is a really weird thought, right? That the way you handle your "handicap" frees or chains other women who have that same exact trait?

(Think generationally - your daughters?)

Listen to what Jennifer Allwood says: "The enemy wants to take what God has gifted you with and distort it. Quit thinking that it's going to hold you back."

That’s powerful.

Let’s break out the journals here and start excavating.

You’ve got this!

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about what to do when your inbox is overflowing, and every time you start working on it you get distracted.

This is where decluttering decision fatigue comes into play – and why you never want to make yourself look at your email (or kitchen table) again (because no matter how much of the stack you got through, your kids are bringing home more tonight).

Here’s what I told my client last week when she brought this issue to me – see if it helps you.

Spot the difference: motivating your kids to help out ('cause you're running a business) vs. leaving them to fend for themselves! Motivation Monday Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about the difference between motivating your kids to help out vs. leaving them to fend for themselves.

Sometimes this is a bit of a tricky needle to thread for a mom, mostly because of her internal fears and what the culture is telling her about delegation and childhood, so I want to offer you a new perspective.

Look. I’m not asking you to ignore your kids; I’m asking you to empower them.

You can keep doing the household chores and food prepping and laundry folding when they’re awake right now. Or you can delegate the bathroom cleaning and laundry folding to them while you food prep and work on your business.

Yes – you’re allowed to do your own work while your kids are doing theirs!

Client Case Study: Will taking breaks help me love my business for the long term? (If so, how do I actually schedule them?) Productivity advice for the work at home mom! Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about whether taking breaks will help you love your business for the long term – and if so, how to actually schedule them.

Do you know what you need to actually stay in this online business thing for the long haul?

No, it’s not loving your job – it’s quitting hustle mode.

*That’s* the secret key.

‘Cause you can love your work all you want, but if you’re doing it twenty hours a day, well, you’re not going to make it very far.

So here’s what happened to a client of mine when we were working on schedules and room for client spots together.

Here’s how much productivity it costs you as a business owner when you stay up late each night! Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

Today we’re talking about how much productivity it costs you when you stay up late each night.

You know what I’m talking about, right?

That “do I have to get up this morning” groan that rips from your throat without you even having to think about it, when you’ve pushed your bedtime just a liiiiittle bit too far (okay, a lot too far) the night before?

Have you ever stopped to think how much this sleep hangover and fuzzy brain setting is affecting your productivity the morning after?

I call it the Productivity Hangover.

But starting today, no more Productivity Hangovers for you.

You’ve got this!
