98. Plastic vs. Glass Balls: What to Protect (and What to Drop)
Sustainable CEO Mom: Productivity, Automation, AI and Marketing Strategies for Female Entrepreneurs + Service Providers (Formerly Moms Make Money Podcast)
Mom life can feel like nonstop juggling — clients, kids, laundry, launches, and everything in between. But what if not every ball you’re holding is meant to be handled with the same level of care?
In this episode of Moms Make Money, I’m breaking down the powerful (and freeing) concept of plastic balls vs. glass balls — a mindset shift that completely changed how I navigate motherhood and business without burning out. When you understand which responsibilities truly matter in this season, you stop living in constant fear that everything will fall apart if you let something go.
In this episode, we cover:
- What the plastic vs. glass balls metaphor really means for moms in business
- Why treating everything like it’s “urgent” leads straight to burnout
- Real-life examples of what glass balls and plastic balls can look like
- How your glass balls can change depending on your season of motherhood
- A simple exercise to help you protect your energy, peace, and profits
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or stuck in “doing it all” mode, this episode will give you permission to drop what can bounce and focus on what truly matters.
