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: Help! I need to get organized, but I don’t actually want to do all that organizing or setting up systems myself! Productivity advice for the work at home mom! Jun 06, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about the cure for when you need to get organized, but you don’t actually want to do all that organizing or setting up systems yourself. (Yes, it’s a thing!)

Have you ever had that task in your life that required a ton of organization before you could even set up and use the system?

Maybe it was meal planning, or book keeping, or just filing those pesky papers.

Whatever it was, you’d been trying to start a habit of looking up recipes, or categorizing transactions, or actually putting those papers away – but doing any of that requires you to already have categories & folders set up for yourself.

And most days, you just couldn’t muster up the extra energy to make that happen. Starting this new habit was going to be willpower-consuming enough.

One of my clients was in this same exact boat on our call last week, and here’s what I told her.

Show notes

Today we’re talking about why introverts need minimalism: this is why you MUST be a practicing minimalist if you want your family to thrive!

And what I really mean is you to thrive.

Because when you’re happy, and fulfilled, and moving through life in a grace-centered way? Your kids benefit, too.

So here’s how minimalism actually fits in the "unbusy yourself” life paradigm.

Today’s topics:

· The relationship between clutter and noise

· Your stress levels as a mom with a messy house

· The real reason why you aren’t able to let yourself relax

Because yes, introversion affects everything – even decluttering.

So go do that purging project while your kids are awake, so that you can rest with no housework distractions as soon as they’re down.

You’ve got this!

Show notes

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about how to make the right decision when you’ve got 2 paths ahead of you and you’re avoiding choosing your next life direction.

You know you’ve got to get off the fence and make a choice.

Because this road you’re on eventually runs out, and then there is no more runway. No more room to dither. No more space to keep being undecided.

And if you’re still just deciding about it – still humming and hawing which fork is right for you – you’re running out of time.

Client Case Study: How do I actually decide whether to stay in certain memberships when I’m in “pare back my life” mode? Productivity advice for the work at home mom! May 30, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about how to actually decide whether to stay in certain memberships or groups when you’re in “pare back my life” mode.

So this is a from a former client of mine, who needed to decide whether to hop in a monthly membership for the personal side of her life, or whether it was just FOMO marketing that was making her feel like she was missing out.

She knew that I was in non-business memberships too, so she asked me how I decided in those situations.

Here’s what I told her, ‘cause the mom side of our lives deserves attention and investment too….

Am I going to lose all my mom friends when I start my business? Here’s what happens to friendships! Motivation Monday May 27, 2024

Show notes

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about what happens to friendships when you start a business – are you going to lose all your mom friends?

You used to have this amazing connection based on kids, messy houses, and barely keeping it all together. But what happens now?

You still have the kids – that, you’ll always have in common.

But you got on top of the mess because you started a business.

You delegated the chores because of that business.

And most of your free time/research time/thinking time now goes to, you guessed it, running a business.

And these women are great, but they’re not on that track. You can’t share that part of your life with them.

What do you do now?

Client Case Study: I’m just coming out of the newborn stage – how can I get myself back on track around the house? Productivity advice for the work at home mom! May 23, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about how to get yourself back on track around the house when you’ve just come out of the newborn stage.

I was out with friends, and a new mom commented that she’d just gotten out of the newborn phase with her daughter and was loving the fact that her cute little baby could play on her own for a smidgen – but several months was a long time to be out of the habit of cooking and cleaning regularly compared to pre-baby!

She was feeling the pull to get self-disciplined again and start doing things around the house, but I could tell it was definitely a “should” and something that would take a lot of force.

Here’s what I told her, as the gentler version.

Hate bullet journaling? Why you can still be productive as an online entrepreneur (even if you aren’t the artsy planner type!) May 21, 2024

Show notes

Today we’re talking about why you can still be productive as a mom (if you aren’t the artsy planner type!), even if you hate bullet journaling.

Because I used to think planning was just for ultra-organized moms with binders and planners.

But that’s not me – on so many levels.

Today’s topics:

· Why your expectations around planning may be what’s derailing you

· Whether you like the artistic aspects of bullet journaling, or they just make it harder

· What you need most in your daily journaling (IF you need it at all!)

If you don’t find it helpful, it’s out the window. Like, yesterday.

You have my permission.

You’ve got this!

How to break through to your next level in business by listening to your inner guidance! Motivation Monday May 20, 2024

Show notes

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about how to break through to your next level in business by listening to your inner guidance.

Have you ever thought about bringing God into your decision-making process? Of asking Him whether you should launch that thing this month, or wait till next? Or if your current income cap is where you’re meant to stay – the sweet spot for your business – or if He’s got something else for you? More for you?

You should be asking these questions as an entrepreneur. A Christian entrepreneur, especially.
