Whether you're writing a book, a dissertation, a virtual sales letter, or even just trying to finish a proposal—this episode of Unbreakable Mompreneurs is your wake-up call (and warm hug) wrapped in one. Join host Charisse Walker as she talks with Dr. Alison Miller, PhD in Clinical Psychology, founder of The Dissertation Coach, and now creator of The Academic Writers Space—a revolutionary co-working community that helps people FINISH what they start. In this episode, Alison shares why writing (or doing any hard task) isn’t just about time management—it’s about managing your presence, focus, nervous system, and energy. 💥 What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why most of us aren’t managing time—we're switch-tasking ourselves to burnout ✅ How “going to the island” with your work can radically boost productivity ✅ The science behind focus, flow, and unfinished projects ✅ Why perfectionism kills progress—and how to gently overcome it ✅ The REAL reason you're procrastinating (hint: it's not laziness!) ✅ The surprising power of co-working communities for writers, entrepreneurs, and creatives ✅ What to do when you’re overwhelmed, overcommitted, and just tired of being tired 🧠 Alison’s Biggest Productivity Secrets: Presence makes time more usable.

    Can You Have It All? Balancing Business and Motherhood with Jo Stone

    Do you ever wonder if you can truly have it all? In this inspiring episode of Unbreakable Mompreneurs, host Charisse Walker sits down with the incredible Jo Stone, Founder and CEO of The Balance Institute, to explore the art of balancing a thriving career with the joy and challenges of motherhood. Jo Stone has walked the tough road from a high-flying corporate career—where she reached the pinnacle as a chief marketing officer with international roles—to discovering the deeper meaning of fulfillment beyond the traditional measures of success. As an Australian entrepreneur, Jo brings an authentic and relatable perspective on how high-achieving women can overcome burnout and reclaim their lives. In her own words, she once had it all on paper: a prestigious corporate title, a beautiful home, new cars, and the recognition that many envy. Yet, underneath the glossy surface, there was an emptiness and exhaustion that no amount of success could fill. In our candid conversation, Jo shares the turning point that changed everything—a moment of vulnerability when she realized that despite her achievements, she wasn’t truly present with her family or fulfilled in her personal life. She tells us how her hectic schedule, from boardroom meetings to juggling family logistics, led to a critical wake-up call. Jo reveals the raw truth behind the toll that nonstop productivity can take on your emotional and physical well-being. She recounts the emotional impact of missing those precious moments with her children, like skipping pages during bedtime stories to catch up on work, and the strain it placed on her relationships.
