Balancing Motherhood and Business pt 2 with Alyssa Wolff
In this episode of Mama Needs Me Time, host Molly Ryden sits down with Alyssa Wolff, a productivity expert and fellow mom, to discuss the realities of modern motherhood, the importance of self-care, and strategies for achieving work-life balance. They dive into the myth of a perfect balance, debunking the idea that moms should aim for an equal 50-50 split between work and family. Instead, they explore practical ways to set boundaries, manage mom guilt, and reclaim time for personal and professional growth.
Molly and Alyssa also talk about time management techniques like time blocking, the power of delegation in motherhood and business, and how AI can enhance productivity—without replacing the human touch. They discuss how self-awareness and understanding personal tendencies can play a critical role in goal setting and avoiding burnout.
This episode is a must-listen for working moms, stay-at-home moms, and entrepreneurial moms looking to create a sustainable balance between career and family life while prioritizing their mental health and well-being.
