Strategies for the Busy Mom, Wife, and Business Owner

Juggling roles as a mom, wife, and business owner while staying grounded in faith can often feel more chaotic than peaceful. 

I’ve been there. There was a time when I felt disconnected as a mom, overlooked my needs as a wife, and barely had a second for myself.  Through it all, I learned a few key strategies to avoid burnout, and I’m here to share them with you.

Time Management Essentials

Time management is everything. Prioritize your tasks, use planners or digital tools, and set realistic goals. Schedule work hours around your energy levels, commitments, and boundaries that allow you to respect your own needs. Healthy boundaries create healthy rhythms.

The Power of ‘No’

Learning to say “no” is a game-changer. Set office hours, limit client communication times, and plan social media check-ins. And here’s a big one, resist the urge to veer off your plan when inspiration hits. Let inspiration flow but give it a set time later to act on those ideas. The inspiration rabbit hole can be a time drain (trust me, I get it!). Set the right times to turn those creative sparks into reality.

Self-Care for Sustained Energy

Self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s necessary. Find moments in your day for prayer, journaling, or even a quick phone-free walk. These small acts of ‘me time’ make all the difference, helping to recharge and refocus.

Involving Family in Your Business

Get your family in on the journey. Sharing your business life with them creates support and understanding. Some of my best reels are the ones with my kids in the background, just living life. Little moments like these help remind you that business and family can coexist in harmony.

Leveraging Community Support

Having a community to lean on is invaluable. This is why I created a sisterhood for women in business—to remind you that you’re not alone. Seek help when you need it, whether it’s assistance at home or delegating tasks in your business.

Embracing Flexibility and Adaptability

Flexibility is key. Schedules are essential, but being adaptable to family needs or new business opportunities is equally important. Remember, adapting doesn’t mean losing momentum; it means making adjustments while still moving forward.

Automating and Delegating in Business

Save time by automating and delegating tasks. Using a CRM system, like Dubsado, can streamline repetitive processes and free up your time.

Nurturing Relationships Outside of Work

Balancing your dreams with being present for your family and friends is crucial. I’ve been through seasons where I felt so disconnected from my family, and setting aside family time blocks has helped me reconnect. Schedule time to help with homework, recap with your spouse, and have those meaningful chats that keep you grounded.

And finally, celebrate every small win. Remember, being a mom, wife, and business owner is a journey—a beautiful, lifelong journey filled with highs and lows.

Stay consistent, be adaptable, and embrace the beautiful chaos of it all.
