• Are you using caffeine to avoid selfcare as a business mom? Don’t fall into this typical entrepreneur trap!
    Oct 1 2024

    Listen - you've got to stop using another cup of coffee to get through your day. (And this is coming from a coffee drinker, so don't think I'm hating on a tasty hot drink. I'm not.)

    What you're doing is fundamentally overloading your capacity, refusing to cut today's to-dos down to size, and leaning on caffeine to get you through that task list.

    Don't. Stop.

    That's against the whole point of becoming unbusy - your day is supposed to be manageable without energy drinks and drugs, not only barely with it!

    Today’s topics:

    • What to do if your caffeine addiction is due to a too-long to-do list
    • What the real fix for your situation is (spoiler alert: it’s not coffee!)
    • How to give yourself a natural energy boost to combat the slump periods during your day

    Because your system, its hormones, and its energy levels, is worth being supported by the right amount of caffeine - the enjoyable amount - not being overloaded by it.

    You're worth it.

    It's time to chop your to-do list, and go be unbusy.

    You’ve got this!

  • Client Case Study: The ultimate hack for leveling up and getting comfortable with it! (As a mom who's running a successful business)
    Sep 26 2024

    This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about what to do if you still haven’t got used to your new schedule, and it’s been weeks – do you need to quit?

    Sometimes you need to quit your new schedule right away, and other times you need to keep pushing through and give yourself time to get used to it.

    This is one of those other times.

    How do you know? Because your intuition is a little out of whack right now.

    You just gave yourself permission to do something fun for yourself – to rest more – to enjoy a lighter schedule – and it’s feeling really uncomfortable.

    Here’s why.

    Sep 24 2024

    What happens when you hit your limit? It could be either at home or in the business.

    In fact, let's take each one and run through both examples, so you know exactly what you need to do next time you've run into a decision-making capacity limit - because I don't want you to just barely skirt the edges of burn out and call that good enough.

    I want you to thrive.

    Today’s topics:

    • How to hand off truly essential tasks and know they’ll get done
    • What computer RAM has to do with your brain
    • Real life examples of how to hand off launch tasks or mom projects so they’re off your plate

    So take heart, start starring that to-do list, and let's get you out of your overwhelm, back to crushing that business owning #momlife.

    Sep 23 2024

    This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about why you don’t have to know the whole 5-year plan for your business – because planning your next season is enough.

    Because you know what?

    It’s okay to only know what to do for your next season (in the business, or in your family), and you’re going to get there.

  • Are you overachiever tendencies blocking your next income level from coming through?
    Sep 19 2024

    What do you think would be on your task list if you could start from the ground up? Like, what do you feel like doing today? (That’s productive and furthering your purpose and all that.)

    What if you released all timelines around the must do’s currently on your to-do list? How would you move through them then?

    These are the kind of questions I want you to ask yourself as you begin to reshape your life. As you begin to walk unbusy.

    Because if you never ask yourself if there could be another way, you’ll never find one – and that’s the true tragedy.

    Today’s topics:

    • Hard hitting questions to prioritize your planner
    • Sneaky ways to get around your over achieving tendencies (especially for your to do list)
    • A guide to releasing your own expectations so you can start getting realistic about what fits in your day

    Couldn’t you just live life at the speed that works for you, and not worry what anyone else thinks?

    ‘Cause change doesn’t tend to come from frazzled gurus. (Amazing, right?)
