Maternity leave should be a magical time. Don't let the stress of "leaving" your business ruin that for you and your family! In today's episode, I dive deep with Alyson Caffrey on how to strategically plan maternity leave without pausing your business. Alyson shares her journey from juggling a newborn and emails to creating Master Maternity Leave—a system to ensure your business thrives while you take well-deserved time off. Her insights on mindset shifts, team autonomy, and scaling even when you're away are game-changers. Tune in for strategies to kid-proof your business and achieve true work-life harmony.

We cover:

This week's pep talk is the third and final shift of our live CEO week series—bringing your dream schedule to life with simple, focused strategies. Over the past two episodes, we explored the significance of a dedicated CEO day and debunked the myth that social media is your sole business strategy. Today, we are digging into shift number 3: "more work does not equal more success."

In today's episode, I share:

• Aligning business priorities with personal priorities
• Why working more hours doesn't equal success
• How to create theme days for maximum productivity
• What the themes of my CEO Week look like, and what they could look like for you - even with a varying schedule!
