We explore how Melissa moved from nonprofit burnout to building Make Ideas Work, a project management approach that turns chaos into systems while protecting family time. We trade practical tactics for buy‑in, boundaries, and single‑tasking, and share small rituals that build strong homes and teams.

• defining the mompreneur and choosing service
• why make ideas work started and what it solves
• reframing project management in plain language
• winning buy‑in with policy, training and accountability
• bridging tech anxiety and generational gaps post‑COVID
• remote work trade‑offs and firm role boundaries
• support systems beyond family to reduce stress
• convenience over perfection for meals and hosting
• family dinners, no screens and icebreaker questions
• time versus money and letting go of pressure
