139: The Confidence To Be Present With Where You Are

February 17, 2025

Today's topic came in from one of our Podsquad members. This listener is a business owner who also homeschool’s her kids. She says this:

“I struggle with always feeling like I should be doing the opposite of what I am. Like if I’m working with my kids during the day, I feel like I should be working on my business. And vice versa. It’s getting less but I know it’ll come back with my busy season!”

Listen in to find out what worked for us when we felt that way in the early years of our business!

Final Thought: Give yourself permission to be present. To try different things that help you create healthy boundaries around your work time v. home/personal/family time.

Episode 139 - The Confidence To Be Present With Where You Are

Welcome back to the show. Today’s topic is: The Confidence To Be Present With Where You Are

This topic came in from one of our Podsquad members. This listener is a business owner who also homeschool’s her kids. She says this:

This is something I’ve noticed a lot of mom-preneurs struggle with, and even new entrepreneurs that start out working from home. We’ve had several clients through the years that struggled with this same thing.

When I was first learning to have healthy boundaries around my work-from-home hours, it really helped to have “office hours” so I knew what I was supposed to focus on each day of the week and during specific timeframes.

Raychel - we built this company when you had three kids under the age of 5 at home. Did you ever feel this way? And if so, what helped?

M&R Tagteam with answers:

• Office hours - got more flexible as kids got older

• Being realistic about usable hours as a parent (and someone with health issues & chronic pain, co-parenting, etc.)

• Separate work space

• Timers

• Reminding myself that it won't always be like this- time will pass very quickly. What am I going to do with what's right in front of me.

• Involve the kids when you can with the business so they understand the "job" and what you are doing when you look like you are doing nothing but sitting on the computer at home.

Final Thought: Give yourself permission to be present. To try different things that help you create healthy boundaries around your work time v. home/personal/family time.
