  1. What No One Told You About How to Run a Business as a Mom - E48

    What No One Told You About How to Run a Business as a Mom - E48

    You built something real. You know your stuff. And then you became a mom — or had another child — and suddenly everything that was working… stopped working. Your systems broke. Your schedule broke. Your bandwidth broke. And nobody around you can see it because from the outside, it still looks like you have it together. This episode is for the experienced mom entrepreneur who is done forcing her life into a system that was never built for her. From the invisible mental load that follows you from the kitchen into your home office, to the household delegation conversations most couples never have, to the deeper beliefs about what a good mom is supposed to look like, this episode looks at the whole picture. In this episode: Why figuring out how to run a business as a mom has nothing to do with sticking to a perfect plan and everything to do with what happens when your kid interrupts your only 30-minute work blockThe moment most mom entrepreneurs hit (but don’t talk about): working all day and still feeling like nothing actually moved forwardWhy your schedule keeps “falling apart” by Tuesday and how that’s actually a capacity resource planning problem, not a discipline problemWhat’s really going on when you had a plan for the day and then school calls, someone gets sick, or your brain is too fried to decide what to do nextThe reason you keep restarting your systems every week (planners, time blocking, new routines)… and what to do instead Check out the show notes and other resources at: https://mindsetcoachmd.com/how-to-run-a-business-as-a-mom/ Resources mentioned in Episode:  The Biz Mom Balance Blueprint VIP Experience - Click here Connect with Dr. Celia: Email: podcast@mindsetcoachmd.com Have a question or a topic you would love to hear on Biz Mom Life?

  2. You Don't Have a Time Management Problem. Here's How Working Moms Actually Manage Their Time - E47

    You Don't Have a Time Management Problem. Here's How Working Moms Actually Manage Their Time - E47

    You’ve tried the planners.  The apps.  The 5am wake-up calls.  And you still feel like you’re the problem. You’re not. If you’re a mom entrepreneur who’s exhausted from trying every method out there, here’s what nobody is telling you about how working moms manage their time.   They aren't focused on time management or implementing the latest time management hack. They know that time management is a myth and that a planner or scheduling app isn't going to solve their problems. In this episode, Dr. Celia is getting honest about why time management keeps failing working moms and it’s probably not what you think. If you’ve ever sat down to work and somehow ended up saving reels on how to cook chicken fajitas instead, this one is for you. What we’re getting into: ★ The real reason every time management system has fallen flat for mom entrepreneurs and why it was never your fault to begin with ★ Why procrastination doesn't mean you're lazy and how it's trying to tell you something important ★ The two-part process that finally helped one of Dr. Celia’s clients go from quietly drowning to “I have a plan and I actually feel calm about it” Check out the show notes and other resources at: https://mindsetcoachmd.com/manage-time-working-mom/ Resources mentioned in Episode:  The Biz Mom Balance Blueprint VIP Experience - Click here Connect with Dr. Celia: Email: podcast@mindsetcoachmd.com Have a question or a topic you would love to hear on Biz Mom Life?

    Moms on Empty: Business Capacity Planning for Health Flares - E42

    If you’re a mom in business navigating health flares while trying to grow, this episode is your guide to business capacity planning that actually works in real life. When illness, hormone shifts, or chronic symptoms hit, your business capacity shifts too — but most moms in business don’t adjust their expectations. Instead, they carry the invisible load of motherhood, push through the mental load of motherhood, and question their ability to lead. In this episode, Dr. Celia, psychiatrist and productivity coach for entrepreneurs, teaches you how to use capacity resource planning and goal based planning to protect momentum, reduce overwhelm, and build sustainable growth — even when you’re not operating at 100%.
