Stop buying into all that working mom guilt – quit it by doing THIS!

Listen, it’s time you stopped paying the price. The CEO mom guilt price, I mean.

• The price for not knowing if you’ve got enough time to finish your to-do list today.
• The price for staying up too late the night before cramming in another website consult and all the quotes to go with it.
• The price for dithering over what the EXACT next right goal on your quarterly to-do list should be.
• The price for frittering away precious kid-free work time, down the social media scroll hole again.

You’ve already paid so much. 

But you’re still stuck with that miles-long to-do list. (Especially when you think about 2x-ing this business!)

I’ve got the fix for you - keep listening to grab it.

You’ve got this!

This is the Unbusy Mom, and today we’re talking about why you need to stop buying into all that working mom guilt – plus exactly how to quit it.

Listen, it’s time you stopped paying the price. The CEO mom guilt price, I mean.

• The price for not knowing if you’ve got enough time to finish your to-do list today.
• The price for staying up too late the night before cramming in another website consult and all the quotes to go with it.
• The price for dithering over what the EXACT next right goal on your quarterly to-do list should be.
• The price for frittering away precious kid-free work time, down the social media scroll hole again.

You’ve already paid so much. 

But you’re still stuck with that miles-long to-do list. (Especially when you think about 2x-ing this business!)

That’s the price. 

You’ve already paid so much. It’s like interest, on a debt, that keeps accruing till you’re snowed under by just the interest payments.

It’s like a payday loan that’s way too big for you to pay. Not unless you get some sort of supermom energy and magically clear everything from your to-do list.

(Which never happens, and then you’re still stuck with that loan again.)

But you know what? There’s a payoff plan for it - and it’s called getting work/life balance help that’s not the mean kind. 

You know, the time management “skills” served up to you with a slap on the face. Like get your weekly VA meeting in order - but you need to use THIS exact template. Fill out THIS planner every day, because all the 7-figure business owners swear by it. Alphabetically organize your Google drive files by date, time, and keyword (and do it yesterday). What, you aren’t up at 4:30am to meditate and workout every day?

THAT kind of supposed productivity. (We’re done with that route.)

You need compassion, and strategies, and “good job, you’re coming, you’re coming!” kind of support.

And you know who else needs you to quit the mean productivity BS?

Your kids. Because they’ve been paying the price, too.

• The price of a mom who’s so stressed she can’t walk over to see their latest Lego creation.
• The price of a mom who yells at them day in and day out.
• The price of a mom who gets on them constantly for chores, with zero grace about it.
• The price of a mom who slaps meals together in a huff and constantly resents every demand their sports practice or dance class has on her.

That’s another price - and your kids are paying it.

Isn’t it time they stopped? Isn’t it time you gave *yourself* that grace?

If you won’t create a good work/life balance for yourself, at least do it for THEM. Their memories of what your WFH motherhood was like.

It’s time to quit.

Because it’s WAY past time for you to quit (on the self-shame about your supposed lack of efficiency levels).

• Who cares if your planner isn’t pretty. 
• Who cares if your handwriting is almost unreadable when you script for your future self. 
• Who cares if you get distracted by the laundry beeping that it’s done, each and every Thursday at 1:42pm. 

Who cares?!

Because I live the kind of life where I can close up shop and go do organizing projects after work because I *want* to, not because I *have* to (and I’m cramming it in on a no-energy slump because the closets are a disaster and I’ve got to get it done).

And I want that kind of “margin for all the mom organizing projects” for *you*, too.

Are you ready to go get it for yourself?

(And FYI, the *key* to you getting fewer work hours plus more time with your kids, is going to be scheduling. Because you have to have *enough* white space in your calendar to *feel* like taking your kids to the park yet again just because, *not* grudgingly assent while you’re thinking of 3 other chores you ought to do! So clear your calendar - which I will help you do - so that you can get back to *guilt-free* enjoying of life with your kids.)

All right?
