One of the biggest struggles that I hear Mamas say when I talk to them is that they feel SO overwhelmed. So many things to do, think about, and stay on top of, that it can become mentally exhausting to try to manage it all.
ESPECIALLY when you add running a business into the mix.
In this episode, I share with you the practical things I have been doing to in my own life as a new Mum to help me manage to show up as a present Mum while also running a multi-faceted business.
I have kept this episode intentionally as practical as possible with zero fluff! So you can apply any of these tips to your own life straight away to start reducing the overwhelm you are feeling too.
Don't feel alone, what you are experiencing is so common and hard to navigate, so let's navigate it together π
Jump into my Instagram DM's to tell me what things you have been doing that help in your life too? So then I can share them with the community too.

We set these major goals and checkmarks in our life and then go out and try to achieve them all at once and then fail almost instantly or just don't even take the steps forward because it is too overwhelming.
Why do we do this over and over again...
Our life has these up periods where we feel more motivated to achieve and plan and make progress. So then we try to βfixβ all the areas of our life at once. Which is not realistic. So then when we fail or don't move forward from feeling overwhelmed we get more frustrated or disheartened because we are still exactly where we started! So then we give up because itβs so heavy and so big and so far away.
In this podcast episode, I chat about why we aren't moving forward in our life and share with you my framework that I apply to the areas of my life where I am wanting to grow. This framework has guided me in my life to create now what I am getting to live, which is my dream life!

I have seen a few posts on social media this past week of people saying that you NEED to block out 2 hours every morning for your morning routine if you want to have a successful business.
And to be honest that concept is so unrelatable and unsustainable if you are a mum. Because you know what I am doing for the first two hours of my morning- I am feeding my kid, changing him, getting him ready for the day and playing with him. And that doesn't mean I can't have a successful business.
If you can't do that as a mum, then you are going to feel like a failure and like you can't grow a successful business because you can't time block out your day or your week.
In this episode, I talk all about what I used to do in my business before becoming a mum and why that doesn't work anymore. And what I actually do now so that I can do both motherhood and business together with less overwhelm.
I would love to hear any tips that you have found help you run your business since becoming a mum. Head to my DM's to share them. π

One of the biggest problems with the online world right now is that we are building businesses that are impossible to sustain in all aspects of life.
We put so much pressure on ourselves to always be 'ON' and energetic and showing up for our business because that is what we are being told we have to do to have a successful business.
But what happens when you are feeling unmotivated about working on your business... and that leads to you feeling overwhelmed from all the things you want to do in your business, that you actually don't end up doing anything π¬
I unpack all of this in today's podcast episode. I literally recorded this on a day that I was feeling exactly these feelings to lead by example of how we can show up exactly as we are, rather then trying to squish ourselves into that box we feel we should.
I would love to connect with you in my Instagram DM's. π

Our Dream Life should guide us.
π ββοΈ Not fear.
π ββοΈ Not our resources.
π ββοΈ Not our self-doubt.
Instead that picture we hold in our mind that is the driving force behind everything we do.
Often these feelings come in hard and fast when you are about to step into your next thing. When you are about to level up. When you are about to take that next leap and you can't see the ground below you anymore... π
It's damn scary!
But on the other side of these fears is often where we find our best life! π
I am so excited to share this week's podcast episode with you where I get real about not letting fear or self-doubt guide us. π
I would love to know if you find this too? Do you often find self-doubt creeps up fast when you are about to step into something new or launch something in your business? Let me know in my Instagram DM's

Everyone is talking about it on socials - but what does it actually look like to slow down intentionally in a way that serves us and our business best, especially when we are getting held back from so much guilt around slowing down.
Our culture glorifies hustle and going 100km/h but what that generally leads to is us ending up somewhere where we actually don't want to be and this nearly always leads to burnout... π¬
In this episode, I talk with you about what it looks like to slow down so that you can go to the next level in your business. I speak about the things that might be holding you back from slowing down and also why it is so important for your love of life and also your business for you to create intentional space.
I also share more about my own story of struggling to slow down coming out of corporate and how important it has been for me to slow down in the second half of my pregnancy.

Bringing a tiny human into the world I know is going to be the biggest thing I will ever do in my life π
My business was my first baby though and I have spent all of my time and energy nurturing it and growing it for the past few years. Things are going to be different around here, but it is so different to be having a baby when you absolutely LOVE what you do.
My greatest passion is to get to help women build a business around their dream life. It is work that I feel is so important as I speak with women every day who are craving that freedom and ease in their business and I know that what I teach brings that.
That work can't stop now. π ββοΈ
So if you are one of my biz besties (which if you run a business, we are biz besties π―ββοΈ) then this is what things will look like for the next 4 or so months and also what I am playing for beyond that past the newborn stage.
I also drop a lot of golden tips for you in the second half of this episode about some things I have done to adapt my business for motherhood moving forward once I get out of that newborn bubble. These can be great things that you might like to implement now in your business.

OVERWHELM IS HOLDING YOU BACK π€―
We are coming into the final stretch of 2021 and so many of the conversations Iβve been having with many business owners have been about this deep feeling of overwhelm that has seemed to settleβ¦
π Overwhelm from knowing what to do in your business right now
π Overwhelm from coming out of Winter and not having enough sun in our lives
π Overwhelm from everything going on in the world right now (and for some of you, having had the kids at home for a long while)
π Overwhelm from social media platforms constantly changing and struggling to keep up
Whenever the overwhelm is from, a lot of us are feeling it hey?!

It's time to build a business that you don't need a holiday fromπΉ
If you didn't go on a holiday for 3 years would you survive?? π€·ββοΈ
Okay I said it π¬
I know, I know, it sounds so scary!! π
But in October it will have been exactly 3 years since my husband and I got back from traversing around Canada and the States and we haven't had a trip away longer than a long weekend since then π¬
That wasn't our intention. We love to travel and were usually jetting off somewhere on the regular prior to that, but when we got back from that trip we had decided we were going to go travelling for most of 2020, so we didn't travel in 2019 to save and then.... well you know what has been going on in the world since then π€¦ββοΈ
In that time I built a business that I loved and that suited my lifestyle and what bought me joy and so yes I have missed travelling (as there isn't anything like adventuring around the world) but I have still loved my life while I have been here. π I haven't been living for the next holiday.
In this episode, I break down for you how I have built a business that doesn't lead to burnout and that fulfils me every single day.
I'm am so grateful to have you listen. Make sure you DM me on Instagram to let me know you listened, as I love to hear from you.

π WHAT PREGNANCY HAS TAUGHT ME π€°π€³
Now that I am well into the second trimester and living off that 2nd tri glow π I thought it would be the perfect time to share what I have learnt so far during my pregnancy about running a business.

So dive into this episode to come along the journey with me of what I have been learning so far during the first half of my pregnancy.

A lot of the focus lately has been on Reels, where I think we have almost forgotten our stories! You might be thinking, well Amy, that's fine, because Reels are getting me all these views and comments, so I don't need to be doing stories right?! I'm sorry... but nope!
Instagram stories are used for building loyalty and trust with the audience you already have so that they buy from you again and again. You can have a huge audience, but if you are not nurturing them and focusing on building relationships with them, then they won't buy.
Wouldn't you prefer to have a smaller audience that is obsessed with your brand and actually BUYING??
Jump into this episode if you want to learn exactly why you should be using Instagram stories in your marketing strategy and not neglecting your audience.
