In this episode of Diary of an Ambitious Mom, we talk about a role so many modern moms live out daily but rarely name. You are not fully a stay at home mom and not fully a traditional working mom. You are a both from home mom, building a business and raising your babies in the same space, often at the same time, and carrying a mental load that does not fit neatly into any category.

If you have ever felt unseen in your unique juggle, frustrated by the constant shifting between work mode and mom mode, or exhausted by the invisible weight of managing both, this episode will help you finally put language to your experience.

In this episode you will learn:
• What it means to be a both from home mom and why this identity matters
• Why working and mothering in the same environment creates a unique level of mental load
• How home tasks, business responsibilities, and unexpected kid moments blend into one big swirl
• The tension between craving slower days and craving momentum in your business
• Why this lifestyle is so new and why there has never been a clear definition for it
• Four practical shifts that help you find peace, rhythm, and clarity in the blur

We dive into the difference between routines and rhythms, how to name your work windows, the importance of letting things be unfinished, and why asking for help without apology is essential for your wellbeing. This episode is honest, faith-filled, and deeply relatable for moms building businesses from home while juggling school drop off, snack requests, laundry piles, Zoom calls, and client deadlines.

If you are tired, stretched, grateful, overwhelmed, ambitious, and called to more all at once, this episode will feel like a deep breath.
