About this listen

How does getting 20 hours back a week sound?


Mom life is easy for me. And by the way, I’m working from home (plus homeschooling!) with 5 kids.


Ready to give yourself permission to quit?

✅ You feel like you’re up to your eyeballs in to-do lists

✅ You’ve got more things scheduled on your calendar than you’ve ever seen

✅ Your kids need more time than you’ve currently got (for homework & playing with them after school)

✅ Your plans for date night are getting pushed last minute (or snoozed till next week – again)

✅ You can’t even fathom taking a two-hour break in the middle of the day (because if you stop, the house might literally burn down)

✅ You can’t remember the last time you got a pedicure (because you’re too busy taking care of everyone except yourself)


It’s time to escape the never-ending cycle of “there goes my lunch break” meetings, “turn around by Friday” projects, & “hang on I’m almost done” answers to your kids….


And swap that for working less, snuggling your kids, and putting "me time" back on your calendar.


Listen - I’ve been a work-at-home entrepreneur for 5+ years, with 5 kids at home with me (all day every day), with podcasts to record and client calls to take - and I’m still getting 3 hours of free time a day.


My genius is showing you what you SHOULDN’T be doing - ‘cause you’re right, you can’t do it all.


And it’s time for you to stop creating unnecessary pressure in your role as mom, entrepreneur, and all-around high achiever.


Here’s your new “work from home freedom” plan….

✔ Give yourself the workouts, journaling, and hobby time you need every single day

✔ Spend more time cuddling your kids, less time cleaning up after them

✔ Shut off the work brain and be fully present as a mom

✔ Deep work for hours (guilt-free) as you scale your business

✔ Up your revenue, not your hours

    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.)
    Oct 2 2025

    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 know kids are kids - some math lessons are harder to work through than others, or sometimes they sleep in a little more that day, or maybe they’re just in a bad mood that morning.

    And you can’t expect one 40-minute homeschooling block to cover all of these scenarios.

    But here’s what you CAN do, as I told her.

    You’ve got this!

  • KonMari and running an online business have THIS in common….

    KonMari and running an online business have THIS in common….
    Sep 30 2025

    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 list and just do that.
    • I wasn’t always the person who knew how to take breaks and to sit down and to stop go-go-going.

    But minimalism taught me that.

    And do you know what that looks like from the business end? (That’s the level of business KonMari I’m diving into today!)

    You’ve got this!
