If you're a mum in business struggling with time management, productivity, and fitting everything into limited work hours, this behind-the-scenes episode is for you.

In this honest episode, I'm sharing the real moment I realised I was avoiding going to the gym — not because I didn't want to get fit, but because I felt guilty taking time away from growing my business.

As a business-owning mum working in school hours only, every hour matters. So instead of choosing between my health and my business, I figured out how to make my gym time support both.

Inside this episode, I share:

• How to manage your time when you're building a business with limited hours
• The productivity mindset shift that stops busy mums overworking
• How to turn everyday life time into business growth time
• Practical ways to create content and visibility even when you feel too busy
• Why energy, health, and wellbeing are actually business growth strategies

If you've ever felt like there's never enough time to grow your business, get fit, look after yourself, and be present for your family — this episode will show you a smarter way to make your hours work harder without working more.

Perfect for:

Mums in business, female entrepreneurs, business owners with young children, anyone trying to grow a business while balancing family life, limited work hours, and real-life responsibilities.

This is the first episode in my behind-the-scenes series, where I'm sharing what it really looks like for me to build multiple businesses as a mum with very limited childcare.

I created this series because so much of the "behind the scenes" we see online is from people with teams, established audiences, and years of momentum. That's not my reality.

I'm rebuilding my coaching business from the ground up, growing a networking community, launching a brand-new franchise, and starting a new community business — all while raising a nearly two-year-old.

This is the real version. The decisions, the mindset shifts, the strategies, and the messy middle.

In this first episode, I share the shift that changed everything for me: moving from hoping I'd find time to work… to guaranteeing it.

You'll hear:

• why "hoping for time" keeps so many mums stuck

• how I protect a 90-minute daily window for marketing and sales

• why I stopped relying on evenings

• and why doing your best to guarantee some time, even with a busy family life, should be your priority.

If you're a mum in business trying to grow in school hours, nap times, or the tiny cracks of the day - this episode is for you.

Ever wonder how some mums actually manage to build a six figure business with kids, prioritize their mental health, and somehow not completely fall apart in the process?

This week I'm chatting with Anna Bateman, founder of Halcyon Education, who's been consistently hitting six figures for four years whilst raising two boys. She shares what it actually took: prioritizing exercise even when she hated it, choosing part time work to protect her sanity, and developing the self awareness that's kept her from burning out.

If you've been wondering whether it's possible to build something meaningful without losing yourself, this episode will show you it is.
