“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” answer is - you take the call with everyone quiet in the background - but what you aren’t sure of is whether that’s doing a disservice to your kids!)

This is exactly the dilemma my client came to me with - ‘cause her kids were really young, and she had some set time zone work meetings she had to attend, which were all happening after supper but before bedtime - and she was feeling really guilty about it.

You know what I told her? (Not what you’re guessing!)

You’ve got this!

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 fully bought in yet.

But you still have to do the actions as if it is. Because that’s how you’re going to get there, to that 100% embodied CEO level.

You’ve got this!

If your days feel like a chaotic blend of client calls, snack requests, laundry piles, and forgotten to-do lists, this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m joined by coach Alyssa Wolff, a work-from-home mom of five who has cracked the code on creating a sustainable, joyful rhythm that supports both motherhood and business growth.

She shares how to reclaim your time without the guilt, get focused without burning out, and actually make room for the things that light you up like journaling, movement, and even hobbies (yes, really).

We talked about:

• Alyssa’s real-world definition of productivity (it’s not about doing more)
• How to declutter your calendar seasonally to create breathing room
• The time management mindset shift that helped her juggle five kids and a business
• How to navigate busy seasons in your business without dropping the parenting ball
• The surprising power of breaks to supercharge your energy and focus

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 minute tasks that need to be done. I am getting the big important things done, but then there is so much other stuff that just seems never ending!

Yikes, yes - that’s a recipe for disaster.

Living in a family AND running a profitable business are both going to keep tossing new task lists on your plate! (Plus you also want to give yourself time to recharge every day.)

So here’s how we’re going to fit all of that in….

You’ve got this!

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 stopped to think that they’re still upleveling? That they’re still not there?

So yes, right now your uplevel may be paying for a Pinterest marketing manager or investing in a done-for-you launch copywriting package or sending your team to a Facebook ads course - but one day it won’t be.

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 this “out of my routine” trip mode, and what you really need is a break?

(Worse, have you ever scolded yourself for “failing” your latest habit streak ‘cause you took this trip/week off and it would have been way too much hassle to keep going on your running or sunrise meditation or new herbal tea habit?)

This is what my client came to me with, and here’s how we reframed it for her.

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 on purpose so that you could be the stay at home mom like you’d always planned – AND be the successful business owner you also dreamed of.

You’re here for the “both and.” That’s really the entire reason why you started this.

Because it’s for the legacy called your kids.

You’ve got this!
