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.

Can’t quit the work-at-home mom guilt? Here’s why it’s so hard for you to release your own housework expectations and start a new WAHM routine for your family! May 14, 2024

Show notes

Today we’re talking about mom guilt: here’s why it’s so hard for you to release your own housework expectations and start a new routine for your family.

I’m sure this scenario is familiar to you: you go to the fridge to start supper, but then realize you somehow forgot to thaw the meat for tonight’s meal.

Which means you’re out of luck on that one and you have to come up with an entire entrée on the fly.

After you’ve dealt with what to cook and checking for ingredients and actually getting it going, how’s your self-talk looking?

Today’s topics:

· The inner mindset game of adapting to your mom day

· Where you’re not giving yourself enough grace in your daily life

· Why shifting your self-expectations isn’t really the hard part about perfectionism

What if we just opened our day with a plan (that we already surrendered to God), made our way through it with whatever adaptations we needed, and then rejoiced at the end in a day well done?

What kind of mental relief would that leave for you today?

You’ve got this!

Big push = big change? Here’s the balance between investing time for a big life change vs. going a little at a time (and when that’s good enough!) Motivation Monday May 13, 2024

Show notes

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about the balance between investing time for a big life change vs. going a little at a time (and when that’s good enough).

Some coaches will tell you that if you’re going to make a big life change – like losing weight or really learning a new sales technique or turning yourself into an expert painter – that you need to go all in.

I mean ALL. IN.

I’m talking weekend course taking, evening journaling, everything on your podcast listen list is this person, skipping your regular routine and chores and cooking in favor of the program’s homework, all that sort of stuff.

They say it’s because you need to push the reset button to give your brain a break.

*Other* coaches say that it’s all bunk. That all you need to do is a little a day. That the only way to eat an elephant is a bite at a time.

So who’s right? Or neither of them?

Client Case Study: How to make yourself “just do it” even when you’re out of steam (I’m making an exception to my normal rule!) Productivity advice for the work at home mom! May 09, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about how to make yourself “just do it” even when you’re of steam – aka, I’m making an exception to my normal rule!

Now, you guys know by now that I don’t do the “just push through your to-do list” stuff.

But every once in a while, there’s an exception. Something came up (like a sick kid) and you HAVE to get an extra load of laundry done just before bed.

Or you had a super bad day and still haven’t gotten to the one most important thing on your to-do list, and it’s due tomorrow.

Real infrequent things there, but we know they happen.

So what do you do, the unbusy way, when you’re in a situation like this?

Why waiting for a huge burst of energy to clear your business to-do list isn’t working for you (you need to do this instead!) May 07, 2024

Show notes

Today we’re talking about why waiting for a huge burst of energy to clear your to-do list isn’t working for you – because you need to do this instead!

We’re going to tackle the myth going around the mom productivity space that if you can just wait for (or create) that magic burst of energy, you’re going to clear your to-do list, get like twenty things done, and cue angels singing (aka, everything gets fixed about your mom day).

Ah, no – that’s not how it works.

I think this “burst of energy” thinking is actually a myth – and a really dangerous one that’s holding you back from ever right-sizing your own supermom life.

You’ve got this!

I don’t like what my business coach just told me – am I being uncoachable, or following my intuition? Motivation Monday May 06, 2024

Show notes

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about what happens if you don’t like what your business coach just told you – are you being uncoachable, or following your intuition?

Because there are two conflicting things going on in the business coaching arena just now.

One side tells everyone, “Listen to your own gut! Never make a decision based on someone else’s feedback!”

And the other side declares, “You hired the experts for a reason. Do whatever they tell you and it’s going to work.”

So where’s the middle ground between these two *very* different advice-taking philosophies? And what happens when you and your coach disagree?

Client Case Study: When should I schedule my to-dos? I’m still not crossing off enough of them when working from home! Productivity advice for the work at home mom! May 02, 2024

Show notes

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about when you should schedule your to-dos if you’re still not crossing off enough of them.

So my latest client came to me with this question, which I thought was so great I wanted to share with you:

“I’m steadily working my way through my giant to-do list, which feels really good to do. I can see I’m making progress. But what concerns me is that I’m *still* not getting enough done in a day! I’m still putting too many tasks on my mid-afternoon project time, and just not getting them crossed off. It’s like I magically run out of energy when I arrive at that time of day. Which is really annoying because I’ve specifically set aside that hour or so for me to catch up on my to-do list! Can you help me?”

Find out what I told her in today’s episode!
