Lately it feels like we're constantly being bombarded with advice for optimizing everything in our life and business---from how we have the back-end of our business work down to how we get dinner on the table.

There's nothing inherently wrong with optimizing, but very often, so much of this optimization "advice" has an underlying energy of trying do to more and squeeze more and more and more into our already jam-packed days as mompreneurs.

The key piece missing from this optimization conversation isn't about optimizing so we can fit in more---it's about taking a step to look back at what we're trying to optimize for in the first place.

So join me inside of this conversation to think through:

• Objectively looking at how you're currently spending your time to get a sense of what you're currently optimizing for
• Exploring areas in your life and desires in your heart that often get overlooked and perpetually placed on the backburner of your priorities list---that you wish didn't!
• How to actually begin making optimization tweaks that feel aligned for your current season of life and motherhood
• Proactively planning ahead to intentionally optimize for your ideal version of summer

If you've been having those days recently where you go to bed feeling like you didn't get to do the things you wanted to do, this conversation is a gentle reminder for how you can fix that<3

Here's the 4-step process we go over inside of the episode:

• Record how you spend your time each day for a series of 3 - 4 days (ie. tracking what you did with your time for 30-minute to 60-minute increment and tracking this information somewhere)
• Reflect (without judgment) on where your time has been going versus where it's not going (that you wish it would). To help with this, you can also do a brain dump for 10 minutes writing down all the things that if added to your day would bring you joy, peace, or a feeling of aliveness!
• Explore any beliefs or autopilot scheduling habits that may be contributing to you not spending more of your time the way you actually want
• Decide on necessary habit changes or scheduling tweaks that would better optimize your time for the things that energize you and bring you joy

What happens when you go from gaining $600K to being $220K in debt — and then building a business that helps others pay off $5 million? That's exactly Haley Brown-Woods' story, and it's one you don't want to miss.

Haley is the co-founder of Price of Avocado Toast, a financial coaching brand she runs with her husband Justin.

Haley opens up about:

• How she went from being a laid-off teacher to a six-figure entrepreneur — with three kids under 3½
• The identity shifts around money that hold most people back (and how to begin healing them)
• Practical tips for keeping your budget in check right now
• How she and Justin designed a business schedule that protects the precious time they spend with their kids
• The three-year vision plan that changed everything

Whether you're in debt, dreaming of leaving your 9-to-5, dealing with the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, or just trying to feel less overwhelmed by your finances as a mom — Haley's story is proof that it's never too late (or too messy) to turn things around.

Inside this episode, Shana shares the deeply personal journey that led her from a career in social work to becoming an entrepreneur and artist. After years of running her own art business, Shana created a piece that completely changed her life. In just one month of posting a video about a collage she made from her own children's artwork, she gained nearly 60,000 new follower, over 13 million views on a single reel, a waitlist of commissions, and had so much interest in her work she decided to make an e-course detailing her method.

Tune into this episode to learn:

• How Shana's grief journey led her to leave social work and build an art business
• The moment her brand went viral and how she intentionally made it happen
• What "stale" really feels like in a business and how to know it's time to pivot
• How she protects her time and creativity as a mom of two young kids
• How she was able to have her husband leave his job to join the business full-time
• Practical advice for mompreneurs who are just starting out or feeling stuck with what's next
