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 dips.
- You have wake-in-the-middle-of-the-night kids.
- You have stayed-up-too-late-Netflix-binging sessions.
All this, on TOP of whatever “just get disciplined” strategy they’re selling you!
But they’re acting like setting your intention is the only hack you need to make “enough time for me, the business, AND my family” to magically appear – and when it doesn’t, they tell you that it’s your fault.
When it was theirs.
Which is why I’m looking at the whole woman (you!) instead:
- Digging into everything that’s going on when you tell me you’re easily distracted or you don’t have enough time in your day.
- Probing underneath the surface when your first response is, “well, but I can’t because” when I hand you a time management strategy hack.
- And then getting you that time in your day for your business, for slowing down your calendar and to-do list, and creating space for you to have your own time and hobbies on top of family and business.
Because busy mothers who want to actually ENJOY their business (right through the scaling process!) need a holistic, mom-centered approach to work/life balance.
- It’s not about the 5am hacks.
- It’s not about the cycle syncing apps.
- It’s not even about stopping work every day at 3:05 pm.
It’s about you.
And I’m here to help you uncover what’s been holding you back from that mental vision in your head of what you should be doing.
(And then see if that’s even realistic for you!)
Because sometimes, you don’t even need to be powering through your to-do list today.
Sometimes, the most effective thing you could be doing is taking a break.
Let me give you an example so you know what I mean. I took a celebration day to sink into my launch (it was successful) – binged 20 episodes of a podcast as a reward – and ended up doing a CEO brainstorming session with all the ideas that that created!
So don’t tell me about “always” and “never” when you’re telling me about work/life balance.
You have to be able to *flex* with the good and the bad parts of it.
Whether that means working fewer hours ‘cause your dad’s in the hospital (and rearranging all your client call time blocks and team load to do it), or whether you just need the CERTAINTY that you’ve got everything covered for the week and now you can kick back (‘cause you’re so emotionally drained from all that extended family drama) – YOU get to embody, which means live, the mom mindset strategies that let you roll with the punches and still keep going.
THAT’S what being a balanced work-at-home mom is all about.
