👉 Feel like your calendar is attacking you?

👉 Constantly behind no matter how early you wake up?

👉 Wondering if time freedom is a myth for working moms?

This one’s for you, mama.

In this episode, we’re getting real about why traditional time management advice doesn’t work for career moms—and how to finally reclaim your schedule without guilt, burnout, or shame.

Because here’s the truth: You’re not lazy. You’re just overloaded.

You’re managing a full-time job plus the mental load of motherhood plus the weight of everyone else’s needs. And most systems weren’t built for that.

🎧 In this episode:
✔️ The real reason your planner isn’t working (hint: it’s not you)
✔️ How guilt sabotages your schedule—and how to shut it down
✔️ 3 time rhythms to help you work smarter (not harder)
✔️ The connection between your leadership style and how you manage your time

🛠️ Try This Action Step:
➡️ Write down every responsibility on your plate.
➡️ Then highlight 3 things you can:

• Delegate
• Delay
• Or Drop

Because clarity isn’t just about doing more—it’s about doing less of what drains you.
