77. Interrupted. Again. The Chopped-Up Time Dilemma for Mums

Soul Presence Season 4 Episode 77

If you’re a mum trying to run a business, a household, and maybe even just watch a full episode of something without being interrupted -this one’s for you.

In this episode, we’re diving into the frustrating reality of chopped up time

You know the feeling, you’re in flow with your work, and then the school bell rings. You’re just about to rest and watch your show, and someone needs a drink, a story, a cuddle. You find a pocket of time to think, create, or rest... only to be pulled out of it mid-thought.

Mel shares a recent personal story that sums it all up - the push-pull of wanting to be present for your kids and your passions, and the frustration that can come with never quite being able to drop all the way in. 

We talk about the paralysis that sometimes creeps in when you finally do get a moment to yourself, but the layers of interruption have built up so much that you don’t know what to do with it.

We revisit some of the strategies from our earlier episodes around ‘time magic’, like using the micro-gaps wisely and giving yourself permission to drop in fast. 

But more than anything, this episode is a love note to uninterrupted time. To claiming space. To booking the solo date, the creative day, or even the weekend away that removes the distractions altogether and lets you flow.

Because mums need more than just five-minute breaks, we need time that feels like it’s truly ours.


Until next time,


Nat and Mel xx
