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.

Stop Complaining That Your Calendar Is Too Full as a Working Mom - Just Start Building the Schedule that Fixes It (Here’s How) Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

Remember the kids’ sports schedules conflicts and way too many overlapping client-and-biz-collab-and-team meetings you were complaining about to your husband yesterday?

You know that all those calendar conflicts are YOUR fault, right?

It’s not your clients’ fault for booking you back-to-back and having yet another lightbulb moment right at the end of your call (which makes you show up late to the NEXT client session).
It’s not the coach’s fault for scheduling more game practices than 3 parents could drive to in one night (thus causing you to miss family dinner with your kids for the 3rd night in a row).
It’s not your VA’s fault when you see your work calendar stuffed with collab planning sessions, guest interviews, and weekly team meetings (instead of deep work time blocks).

No, it’s actually yours - and here’s why.

You’ve got this!

100% of My Clients NEVER Have to Get the Perfect Daily Plan in Place First (Before They See Major Amounts of Time Freed Up). Here’s Why. Jan 15, 2026

Show notes

You and I, we’re the strategic business moms.

We LIKE the analysis involved in market trends, top-performing reels, how the high-ticket customer base is shifting - all of it.

The only problem is, we think we’ve got to come up with the perfect 5-step plan for what we’re going to work on when in our business (oh wait - we already did that last October), and then we’re over here come January, forcing ourselves to stick with it.

(Even though our client roster, current mentorship, and content trends have changed 3 times since last quarter.)

And you already know what happens when you force yourself to follow an out-of-date, out-of-step-with-the-market plan….

Everything falls flat in your business.

Here’s the fix.

You’ve got this!

You’re caught in the “just right” decision-making spiral again.

I need to work on delegating and communicating more with my integrator.
Wait, don’t I need to get my client processes and SOPs fully updated?
On second thought, what’s up with my clients lately? I better do some content that speaks to where they’re at and reframes it.
Should I re-check all the messaging in my onboarding process, to make sure I’m calling in the most empowered version of my client?

You get the picture…. There are so MANY possible fixes, and the marketing world is out there telling you you need to do all of ‘em!

(Ads, team, hiring, SOPs, onboarding, content, positioning, outreach, list building….)

How in the world are you supposed to know what to pick??

How to Get Your New Year’s Resolution to Stick Past February (When You’ve Got a Full Plate Already Between Kids and Clients) Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

You know what I hate MOST about our stubborn tradition of New Year’s resolutions?

The shaming, should-ing, “why can’t you be better already” vibe of “total overhaul required” and “you better be all in” (or you’re a failure by February 1st).

Not on my watch.

In MY world, YOU get to pick the habit - attitude - CEO outlook that you’d like to add next to your life because it’d make you feel HAPPIER, not because you’d LOOK better to other people.

And then you just pick the TINIEST little habit, action, noticing about yourself that falls under that category, and add it to your day.

Here’s how this rewires your New Year’s resolutions into goals you can actually look FORWARD to (as a work-at-home mom).

The One Habit on My New Year’s List This Year as a Working Mom Jan 06, 2026

Show notes

There’s only ONE thing I’m trying to do this year in my business - and it’s not a strategy.

No, it’s called “follow your gut” for every decision, no matter how small.

(Think, which client project should I work on today? Whose podcast pitch should I take? Which program or mentor should I invest in next? Does this content task REALLY belong on this week’s to-do list, or would it better match the energy of another week?)

And you know why I shifted from a super masculine, planning-heavy strategy to this softer, more feminine business approach?

Even though I was having ZERO problems meeting my deadlines as a work-from-home mom??

Tune in to find out!

Sustainable Mompreneurship Ep. 10: This is the REAL problem with the productivity advice told to moms in business. Jan 01, 2026

Show notes

Here’s the problem with most productivity advice: it assumes you have infinite time as a grown-up (read: throw overtime at your problems) - or don’t have any kids hanging off you.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run into the “just do podcast interviews or record your reels or hop on video while your kids are at preschool” advice…

Which is totally spot on, and works amazingly well - IF you have that out-of-the-house care opportunity for your kids!

But if you don’t - or you’re homeschooling - then there’s no such thing as “working when the kids are gone.”

There’s only semi-quiet and loud and REALLY loud.

Which means what you actually need is THIS hack….

You’ve got this!

Sustainable Mompreneurship Ep. 9: Not on MY watch - no cookie cutter work-at-home “balancing” hacks allowed! Dec 30, 2025

Show notes

Because if your kids are different than anybody else’s, and so is the way you run your family (not to mention your business)....

Shouldn’t you get a little customized attention, rather than being thrown a copy of The 5am Club?

I mean, you can’t cover special needs, homeschooling, night nursing, care and feeding of teenagers, or middle school grump sessions all under the same set of “do this at this time with your kid and you’ll be happy,” right?

So why in the world would you expect that to work for your business?

(And a work-at-home one, at that?)

(It’s that sneaky “work from home” distraction thing grabbing you again.)

Listen.

Whatever you do, DON’T break up a perfectly good flow state for an arbitrary timer.

(Because your to-do list cross-off rate’s gonna show it.)

Instead, here’s what I do.

Sustainable Mompreneurship Ep. 7: The secret to ACTUALLY loving your daily life as a work-from-home, agency owning mom…. Dec 23, 2025

Show notes

If you don’t have anything to look forward to, you won’t get up for work. And that includes your from-home business, too.

See, you can’t just say “I love my clients” and call it good…. Or you’re going to burn out on the entrepreneur side of life.

Because we don’t truly love our task lists.

We love the way that working in our zone of genius makes us FEEL.

So it’s time for a quick gut check….

Sustainable Mompreneurship Ep. 6: Resentment is the flashlight of change on your daily work-from-home schedule. Are you using it? Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

Resentment is actually the best spotlight you could ask for.

It’s going to show you right where to look for your overgiving, overscheduling, and flat out overworking… if you’re willing to let yourself feel those uncomfortable emotions.

Because it’s not a matter of maturity here.

It’s that you can’t keep functioning as a wife, mom, business owner, special needs caretaker, homeschool educator, taxicab driver, and STILL put in enough energy reserves for your own tank to keep serving your clients and your family for the next 15 years….

….While doing it from a state of LOVING the work-from-home life you have (as opposed to dreading when the kids wake up each morning).

You’ve got this!
