  • 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!

  • 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.

    You’ve got this!

  • 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!

  • Close the Laptop & Ditch the Burnout This Summer with Crystal Cornacchia of Boundaries, Business & Balance
    Jun 23 2025

    Today we have a bonus episode for you all about how to close the laptop & ditch the burnout this summer. We’re bringing on a guest, Crystal Cornacchia, to talk about how she rearranges her schedule during the summer as a mom running a business.

    We discuss....

    • What does Crystal's current summer rhythm look like, and how has she built it to work with her family and business?
    • What did Crystal's non-aligned summer teach her about setting boundaries as a business-owning mom?
    • How did Crystal decide what her business could hold during summer (and what needed to wait)?
    • What’s one summer boundary Crystal now considers non-negotiable?

  • Selfcare Not Selfish Ep. 6: Do THIS if you feel guilty for wanting a break from your kids on the weekend!
    Jun 19 2025

    Here’s how this mindset block goes….

    “My kids are away at school all day; in the evening everyone’s tired; so Saturdays and Sundays need to be our main family days with the kids to make up for that. I know I’m tired, and I usually give myself an afternoon break during the week, but it’s the weekend and that’s a special case! Just a couple days. That’s all I have with my kids. I need to be making these memories for them.”

    And so off you go to pull another weekend all-day-er when you really need to go home and have a 2-hour break yourself (not stay at the museum all afternoon).

    You can see how unrealistic this is, long term. So let’s shift that.

    You’ve got this!

  • Selfcare Not Selfish Ep. 5: Quit your high performing CEO role for once and do THIS instead! (It will majorly destress your life as a business owning mom!)
    Jun 17 2025

    I want you to take a deep breath now, and hear that it’s okay.

    It’s okay to be on a roll with the biz stuff, feel the high-performer pressure, and then allow yourself to back off and just feel into your body.

    To stop performing. Take a biz break day and just watch courses or catch up on biz podcasts.

    (Or do some next-season-clothes shopping for your kids, research a new appliance buy, or plan your next homeschooling purchase.)

    You’re allowed to need to use some of your biz time on an out-of-the-norm family thing.

    It’s okay.

    You’ve got this!

  • Selfcare Not Selfish Ep. 4: Do this to create an AMAZING Sunday routine for your family (so you can get the weekend downtime you need as a working mom!)
    Jun 12 2025

    Because you may be a mom, and a service provider, and a wife slash housekeeper, but you still need to keep the family running through the weekend (even though you’re “off” work for the business), and this doesn’t always lead to a break.

    So here’s how to not let the household swallow up your entire Saturday or Sunday so that you can actually enjoy a weekend break (just like your kids are doing).

    This scheduling hack comes from one of my client calls, when this client told me that her work week schedule was going great (yay!), but now her weekend was getting too crammed (leading to no downtime for her, and a very non-refreshed go-go-go start to every Monday).

    Here are the 2 tips I gave her.

    You’ve got this!
