Welcome to the first episode. I am so, so thrilled you’re here. You might be wondering, like, who I am, who this podcast is for, and what inspired this podcast. So let me share a little bit with you. So you’re building a business, raising a family, and trying to juggle it all. Oh my gosh, does that sound familiar? I’ve been there. And here’s the thing. That typical time management strategy does not cut it for moms like us. You know that feeling like you’re pulled in multiple directions, the overwhelm of wearing so many hats, and just the guilt that creeps in no matter what task you’re focused on?

It is so, so exhausting. Between the constant decision-making, the mental load, and just trying to grow your business, something had to give. So for me, it all started when I became a mom and my life changed drastically. Can anyone relate to this? Like, I was a first-time mom, and trying to run my new business and do all the things, and it was a lot. I was under the impression being a mom would be super easy, that the baby always slept and ate, and it wouldn’t be so hard, and I was like, wow, I was totally wrong on that, because it was nothing like that.

And on top of that, I had the idea of starting my business at that time, and basically I had two babies at the same time, one my business and one my actual baby. So I was not handling it well. I was a hot mess I was just trying to figure out how to make the most progress my new business With the limited time that I have and try to take care of my son So I did what anyone else would do in the situation. I googled all the things and I The results came up with have boundaries try not to spend too much on one task and all the search engines they just did not feel like they applied to me and what I was personally going through and the one thing I did not like about the research results is that it was just so generic like None of it really applied to my unique situation as a new mom and a new business owner.

So I was reflecting on like what can I do to get my life in a better way with like my business and my baby and how do I adapt to two brand new things and I was just like thinking about like the skills that I learned as a psychiatrist and one thing really stuck out was like one day in the hospital I had patients waiting in the psych unit. I had an ER crisis unfolding and medical consults waiting for me. And during that time period, I had no choice but to quickly prioritize and make decisions on the fly, especially being the only psychiatrist in the hospital.

And as I was reflecting on that, I realized, oh, my gosh, that’s what I could do here. This is that skill set that what I learned in residency, what I learned as being a doctor, that’s what I could bring into my new Life right now in terms of like how do I adapt to being a new mom? How do I adapt to be having new business and how do I adapt to doing it at the same time? And that skill set, it turns out that’s exactly what I needed when I became a mom and business owner.

So taking all my past experiences and all that I knew, I created my own system so I could start to figure out what takes priority in my business, how to get that done in the small pockets of time that I have, and in a way that I still feel good and peaceful about it and that does not lead me to burnout. So I was able to stitch the feeling of being pulled in different directions instead of overwhelmed and instead start to actually move the needle in my business while being a mom to my baby who’s now a very very busy toddler.

So as I got further in my business, I realized this is not common knowledge for mom business owners. We hear the typical time management strategies, but not how it works in real life.
