  • My secret for easing out of vacation mode - WITHOUT jumping straight back into work.
    Jul 10 2025

    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.

    You’ve got this!

  • Can you fit parenting into your work-from-home day, while equally prioritizing both?
    Jul 8 2025

    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!

  • This is what I told my client when she couldn’t unplug from her to-do list.
    Jul 3 2025

    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.

    (In fact, as you’ve just found out, you’re actively kicking the “time off” can down the road each and every time you say “I’ll just handle this real quick.”)

    So let’s reframe this….

    You’ve got this!

  • Behind the scenes: my typical Saturday as a 5-kids-chasing, business-and-homeschooling mom!
    Jul 1 2025

    Here’s what your weekend prep day could look like next month!

    Because what I teach you is how to get less on your plate – even as a mom running a business – and no matter how many kids you have in the house. And you’re going to do it by the power of delegation.

    Sneak peek: by the time we all descend on the kitchen, Mister 6-Year-Old is all done and accomplished, I’m ready to get out plates and maple syrup, my husband’s going to start cooking, and Waffle Boy #1 is somewhere toilet scrubbing.

    So here’s what a typical Saturday cleaning-and-errand-running (oh, and don’t forget the 7-person food prepping!) at our house looks like....

  • Selfcare Not Selfish Ep. 8: Do THIS to adjust your week when you’ve got a full client roster and one of your kids suddenly comes home sick!
    Jun 26 2025

    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), handling quarterly taxes, or an unexpected house cleaning/insect issue?

    What if, in fact, your kids are in that stage where they're bringing something home every other week from nursery and Sunday school, and you're having to deal with "sick schedules" as your other most-frequent weekly norm?

    What should you do then?

    I have a super easy solution for you.

  • Selfcare Not Selfish Ep. 7: Do THIS, and you’ll quit-proof your business as a mom.
    Jun 24 2025

    Because it’s not about how hard you can go for how long and where that’ll intersect with your no-doubt-wonderful-and-amazing 5-year plan.

    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 don’t mean the “quick gas up so you can get running again” kind of fuel.

    No, I’m talking the “so lit up about my purpose I can’t see myself quitting in 15 years from now” fuel. The personal family life that’s a complement to your CEO-self’s ambitions.

    That’s your life.

    ‘Cause if you don’t, you’re accepting that burnout is real and that you deserve to go through it.

    You’ve got this!
