Balancing School Holidays without a guilt - a Money first CEO's guide

July 07, 2025 • Harman • Season 1 • Episode 10

In this episode, I get real about the juggle every business-owning parent knows all too well - school holidays. Whether you’re struggling with guilt about missing family time or feeling anxious about what’s not getting done in your business, I share how to plan proactively and take back control. I walk you through the exact systems, habits, and mindset shifts I use to create freedom and keep my business humming, even while making memories with my kids.

Because your business should support your life, not consume it.

Key Topics Covered:

Why school holidays don’t need to derail your business
How to let go of guilt and reframe your mindset around “balance”
Practical steps to design your calendar and cash flow around holidays
How to communicate effectively with your team (and clients)
Tips for batching, automating, and delegating ahead of time
Real-life examples from my own business and family life
One simple action to take this week to prep for the next school holidays

One Actionable Takeaway:
Open your calendar and block out your next school holidays. Choose your work days and your fun days - then build your business around that.
