As summer approaches, it’s a time of change—and if you’re a working mom, you’re probably already starting to feel that shift. In today’s episode of The Dream It Do It Podcast, I’m sharing how I’m preparing for a successful summer, balancing both my family life and business goals.
Why Consider a 4-Day Workweek?
After having children, my whole perspective on work changed. I used to think “just work more hours” was the answer.
But with little ones at home and what felt like a million responsibilities pulling me in different directions, I realized that the traditional five-day, always-on work week just wasn’t working anymore.
I was exhausted and overwhelmed.
In this episode, I dive into the small but mighty adjustments I’m making to create a more balanced and intentional summer. From reassessing family rhythms to embracing a 4-day workweek, I’m sharing the strategies that help me feel less scattered and more steady during this busy season.
The Hidden Stress High Achieving Women Face
“I think a lot of high achieving women actually do prepare their business and their work adequately enough. Right? Sure. Maybe they feel frazzled. They’re like, they could have planned ahead a little better or, like, there’s always more to do because there is. But I don’t think that they always communicate it to their family or their kids.”
In this episode, we cover:
- Reassessing Family Rhythms – How I’m adjusting routines as the school year comes to a close and my family’s needs shift.
- Embracing a 4-Day Workweek – What it really looks like to move into a 4-day workweek, and why it’s key for me to maintain productivity while protecting time for my family.
- Systems to Stay Ahead – The simple but effective systems I rely on to avoid the overwhelm of feeling “behind” and help me stay organized.
- Setting Boundaries – How I set clear boundaries with both work and family, and why communicating those boundaries is essential for peace of mind.
- The Power of Flexibility – Giving yourself permission to be flexible without sacrificing progress toward your goals.
