Balancing Both Ep. 3: Your priorities problem right now is actually a mom brain overload problem…. 4:29

23h ago4:29

4:29

When you can’t handle another decision on your plate - it feels like you’ve got way too many things going on to even pick your top 2 or 3 priorities this quarter (let alone semester) - you actually don’t have a decision-making problem at all. It’s really a “my brain is too overloaded to process any more information” one. Because if you’d committed …

Balancing Both Ep. 1: I need to homeschool AND run my business, but there aren’t enough hours in the week to do both! (Here’s my fix as a homeschooling WAHM.) 4:53

9d ago4:53

4:53

This case study comes from one of my clients, who’d scheduled her homeschooling block right before her work time block, but then found that her homeschooling time wasn’t necessarily always ending right when it needed to and thus she was getting shorted on her work hours to fulfill client projects. (Not a good thing, let me tell you!) Because you kn…

KonMari and running an online business have THIS in common…. 5:14

11d ago5:14

5:14

It’s all a matter of essentialism – of business decluttering – to get you as streamlined as you can possibly be – which means as reliable as possible about checking off those “have to happen by end of day” to-do lists. You see.... I wasn’t always an essentialist. I didn’t always have this ability to hone in on the most important thing in my to-do l…

Scaling a business is like starting a master’s degree. 7:16

16d ago7:16

7:16

Newsflash: you’re already in a master’s level business program. When you’re scaling your business, or bringing on multiple team members for the first time, it’s kind of like you’re starting a new degree. It’s a finite time period, with noticeable workload, that produces a specific result. And everyone in your family knows to work around that (i.e.,…

This is how I fix the “interrupting toddler” problem as a mom who also owns a company…. 3:46

18d ago3:46

3:46

Listen - you’re allowed to hold boundaries with your toddler and reserve naptime for yourself & your business. You’re NOT being a bad mom for sending her back to her room at nap. Because part of working from home is having the confidence that everything your business needs today got checked off - and that directly crosses over into your mindset. Yo…

23d ago6:16

6:16

Every time you sign a few more clients (yay, money!), you get overwhelmed. Then you overwork to keep up, overcompensate, and inevitably, burn out. It’s become a pattern. So here’s my anti-brain-fog suggestion that lets you hit the reset switch and hit the ground running (AFTER you do this one thing!) to efficience-ize your schedule You’ve got this!…

When your family needs you more than your business, but you still want to work…. 4:03

25d ago4:03

4:03

How do you readjust your week’s workflow when you know you’re going to catch the family bug sooner or later… but you’ve got clients and students and deliverable projects to keep in the air?? (And inside you’re resenting your kids for ruining your nice, was-going-to-be-productive week and swapping it out for taking care of sickies!) The one thing I …

What happens when you’re already past capacity as a mom running an agency? 4:40

30d ago4:40

4:40

You’ve got clients flowing in the door; all the invoicing and transaction entering and profit taking that goes along with them; more half-finished deliverables than you can shake a stick at; oh, and a family and body that you’re supposed to take time for, too. And the reason you haven’t done anything about it yet is that you’re on contract with eac…

Best time to start your kids on chores (so you can have more CEO time)? Last month. 4:40

1M ago4:40

4:40

If you haven't started your kids on chores yet, now is a GREAT time to get going. Because unless your kids are 4 and under, they can be doing chores…. ….Which means it's YOUR responsibility to teach them. Because the first and primary way you’re going to have less on your plate to do around the house - i.e., permanently do less housework - is with …

Anti-self development hack: how to AVOID working on your patterns. 5:03

1M ago5:03

5:03

You’re battling the same sneaky story that your brain likes to tell you - that it’s your fault for not being gracious enough and understanding enough and reframing your frustration with your team…. Newsflash: you aren’t supposed to be resenting anything in your ideal everyday life! That’s a red flag that something’s wrong. So why are you sitting th…

Which is better: morning selfcare or getting a head start on your business to-do list? 4:17

1M ago4:17

4:17

You’re already sold on morning routines, but which is better - knocking out 5 chores before the kids get up, or using your precious quiet hours to pour into yourself? Because you know you need to schedule in your personal recharge time on the daily, and morning’s one of the easiest times to actually guarantee it…. (Aka, win-win for your scheduling …

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 8: Your pending Trello cards aren’t overwhelming you. It’s actually THIS. 4:13

1M ago4:13

4:13

Because it’s not your to-do list’s fault. It’s yours. If you’re not confident that you can knock out everything on that to-do list, and you’re tying yourself up in knots about it, that’s a “you” issue. Listen - your task list does not have the ability to burden you. (From Allie Casazza.) It’s how you think about it that’s affecting you. You’ve got …

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 7: Do NOT listen to this kind of time management advice - unless you want to stay stuck as a mom growing her online business! 3:41

2M ago3:41

3:41

You know WHY the "fit everything in" hacks you’ve been trying haven’t worked for you yet? Because they’re not the full picture. They’re just the strategy part. Those gurus are forgetting that you have kids, and you can’t just wake up at 5am every day to bang out 4 hours of work like nothing else exists. You have luteal cycles. You have motivation …

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 6: If work is bleeding into your weekend again (when you really need that Sunday break).... 4:49

2M ago4:49

4:49

It’s like Saturday is hiding out from you, hoping you won’t notice that it’s stolen most of the to-do list and hoarding all those tasks to dump on you! But good news, here’s how my latest client and I dealt with the chore hideout monster. S.’s words after we finished our “chase the chore monster out of hiding” session were, “Yay, all fixed - no mor…

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 5: Stop thinking other high-performing business moms know the secret. 6:18

2M ago6:18

6:18

It's just time management, following through on your to-do list, using your time buckets like crazy, and delegating something. Lots of somethings. That’s how it’s all “fitting in” for them. Which means you can do it all, too. We’re going to leverage the twin turbochargers of time blocking it all out plus outsourcing everything that DOESN’T necessar…

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 4: You’re going to feel mom guilt even if you’re working from home. 6:36

2M ago6:36

6:36

Because every mom deals with guilt. The only question is what that guilt’s going to be about. Using the frozen pizza one night instead of cooking from scratch for optimum nutrition? Letting your phone play babysitter once too often? Not running a business to bring your gifts to the world? So let’s stop with this idea that the mere existence of you …

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 3: The busier you are, the more scheduled you need to be. True? 5:28

2M ago5:28

5:28

If you’ve got a ton of stuff going on, you have to be way more strict about holding yourself to pre-determined timelines and boundaries for when you have to shift tasks. Because all you need to do is firmly wall off your creative work time – no Slack messaging with clients allowed! - and give yourself the ironclad “only do this” boundaries your bra…

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 2: What you should know before starting ANY new scheduling practice. 5:41

2M ago5:41

5:41

You’re hitting everything on the client work plus marketing plus sales outreach plus content creation plus business bookkeeping plus CEO time to-do list - but it’s all feeling kind of catch-as-catch can instead of smoothly flowing from one thing to the next. You feel like your schedule isn’t properly in order (except every time you DO try to tweak …

Smarter Not Harder Ep. 1: Is hustle mode mandatory for a business mom? 9:47

2M ago9:47

9:47

Am I seriously supposed to act like I’m Elon Musk and just live at the office, only popping out every now and then to see my husband and kids and go to church, and meantime tell them “I’m working to secure your future” and have that be my workaholic guilt-free card whenever they ask about me? Is the only alternative to this level of die at your des…

“I’ve got ‘due by’ client projects to turn in; my kids need a lot of attention from me right now; there’s a bunch of food prepping and household stock-up tasks on my plate; and I’ve got 3 ‘go out to coffee’ invites from friends just sitting there in my inbox (‘cause I’ve had no time to even respond to them)....

The ultimate guide to cycle syncing (so you never burn out on period week again). 6:30

2M ago6:30

6:30

You’ve heard about cycle syncing by now. But you’re thinking, is it really going to be the be-all end-all if I just track a few dates and add an extra calendar app thing? How much does this actually affect my energy levels and work output day to day? If you’re feeling that “out of sync with my workflow” thing regularly – and I mean the “I really th…

Is there a right way to handle client meetings when your kids are halfway through their bedtime routine? 4:45

3M ago4:45

4:45

“No client calls while the kids are awake” is your general rule, but…. This one time the sales call can’t be moved, and your preschoolers aren’t in bed yet (teeth brushed though!), leaving you uncertain how this call’s going to go on top of your ordinary “am I being a good mom if I block them out” worries. (You know what the “good business owner” a…

The ONE time I want you to keep working and ignore your mom guilt (as an online entrepreneur). 3:54

3M ago3:54

3:54

Sometimes, when we’re all gung ho about transformation, we think it’s going to be “zap and we’re done.” But sometimes change isn’t like that. Sometimes you have to decide to do the thing, believe differently about yourself or your business life, and start acting like it’s true for you when you’re still feeling uncomfortable about it. You’re not ful…

Why ignoring your to-do list is the best decision you’ll ever make. 5:22

3M ago5:22

5:22

Because what you really want is to be able to close down your laptop and put a clear end to work every. Single. Day. But your reality is that you never take time off from your to-do list, because you said you’d quit when it got crossed off, and people keep adding tasks to your plate! Like what this client told me: It's all the little 5, 10, and 30 …

Before you spin out over how far you still have to go in your work-from-home business.... 5:57

Are you still energized by that next level, or are you getting tired of all the (semi major) steps there are between where you started and where you want to be, business-wise? You’re getting discouraged at the thought that you haven’t arrived yet and all those big money coaches or boutique brand designers are already there. But have you ever stoppe…

My secret for easing out of vacation mode - WITHOUT jumping straight back into work. 8:41

3M ago8:41

8:41

Do you tend to push yourself to get right back into work post family vacation or Christmas getaway or big Thanksgiving road trip? Are you putting that kind of pressure on yourself to be “all in” on client support, project deliverables, daily social media content, getting straight back into batching, etcetera - when deep down you’re still tired from…

Can you fit parenting into your work-from-home day, while equally prioritizing both? 5:21

3M ago5:21

5:21

What exactly is the point of a work-from-home business in the first place? Is it to indulge yourself in lazy mornings, slow cups of coffee, and nice, quiet houses in your perfectly-set-up work office (instead of the impersonal cubicle and dealing with transporting meals).... Or is it something deeper? Something kid-related? You came into this space…

This is what I told my client when she couldn’t unplug from her to-do list. 6:30

3M ago6:30

6:30

J. said, “I find myself taking on every task I see in front of myself rather than stopping to ask if I should be doing it. Then I never get to relax!” And that’s a problem. Because you as the business owner need to have dedicated recharge time each day - plus “after the kids” recharge time - and handling everything yourself isn’t going to cut it. (…

What if your daily routine is already full - so is your weekly one, as a matter of fact - and it's working really smoothly for you - but then one of your kids gets sick and you have to take extra time out from your day to deal with them? Or you get the unexpected pop-up task of a new doctor's appointment (that must be on such-and-such day), handlin…

Or pushing yourself to meet every deadline, every timeline, every “would be great if our company hit this marker” for clients or course students. It’s about giving yourself the fuel you need for success – and I d…

Selfcare Not Selfish Ep. 6: Do THIS if you feel guilty for wanting a break from your kids on the weekend! 4:55

4M ago4:55

4:55

Here’s how this mindset block goes…. “My kids are away at school all day; in the evening everyone’s tired; so Saturdays and Sundays need to be our main family days with the kids to make up for that. I know I’m tired, and I usually give myself an afternoon break during the week, but it’s the weekend and that’s a special case! Just a couple days. Tha…

4M ago4:23

4:23

I want you to take a deep breath now, and hear that it’s okay. It’s okay to be on a roll with the biz stuff, feel the high-performer pressure, and then allow yourself to back off and just feel into your body. To stop performing. Take a biz break day and just watch courses or catch up on biz podcasts. (Or do some next-season-clothes shopping for you…

Because you may be a mom, and a service provider, and a wife slash housekeeper, but you still need to keep the family running through the weekend (even though you’re “off” work for the business), and this doesn’t always lead to a break. So here’s how to not let the household swallow up your entire Saturday or Sunday so that you can actually enjoy a…

4:44

Because “an underutilized productivity hack is saying no.” (Marcus Urbanski) Couldn’t agree more, Marcus. If you’ve got too much on your plate, chances are you’re not saying no to something. Because all that stuff on your schedule was placed there by you. (And if it wasn’t, then you’ve got a boundary issue you need to be dealing with!) You chose it…

How many times have you noticed this? It’s the gap between what you say you want (in your life, your calendar, or your habits) vs. what you actually do with that life (or calendar or habit).

4M ago5:24

5:24

You can’t let the so-called “productivity failures” get to you - because they aren’t failures at all. They’re examples of opportunity. Because there’s always a thing under the thing, right? A reason for why you failed, quote unquote or didn’t do the thing you said you were going to do? That’s the kind of thing we need to get clear on as moms when w…
