EP 14: Do THIS to Find Balance During the Holidays as a WAHM [Holiday Series]

Solve for Mom | Find Purpose, Personal Growth, Planning, Self-improvement, Family Time

Hello Ambitious WAHM!

Are you feeling like you're juggling too many balls during the holiday season? Between work deadlines, family traditions, holiday prep, and trying to maintain some semblance of personal time – it can feel overwhelming, right?

As a work-at-home mom (WAHM), I know the struggle of maintaining boundaries when your workspace and living space are one and the same. Add in the holiday chaos, and it might feel impossible to find balance!

In today's episode, I share my science-style strategies for creating harmony between work, family time, and personal growth during the holidays. Drawing from my experience as a WAHM who manages consulting work, a start-up business, homeschooling, and passion projects, I'll show you how to make the holidays enjoyable rather than overwhelming.

I talk about why being clear on your priorities is crucial for personal growth and family harmony. I show how you can make better decisions during the holidays (Hint: life planning is the best way). I don’t leave you hanging, though, because I also lay out practical time management & productivity strategies that actually work for WAHMs.
