  • Boundary Boss: Reclaim Your Time, Energy, and Self as a Working Mom

    Boundary Boss: Reclaim Your Time, Energy, and Self as a Working Mom
    Apr 16 2025
    This is your Working Women's Guide podcast.

    Welcome to Working Women’s Guide. Today, I’m diving straight into something most of us are challenged by: work-life balance. More specifically, how working mothers like you can set practical boundaries and reclaim your energy, time, and—most importantly—your sense of self. If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty, constantly caught between the needs of your workplace and your family, let’s talk about the real steps you can take, starting now.

    First: create a schedule and stick to it. I’m talking about more than a calendar filled with meetings and soccer practices—set clear work hours, like “I’m available from 8 to 4” and keep them sacred. Communicate these hours to your manager, your team, and even your children. When your workday ends, shut that laptop and walk away. This is your first boundary.

    Second, say no. I know, easier said than done, but here’s your permission slip: you do not need to attend every optional work call, sign up for every bake sale, or answer every late-night email. Each “no” is a “yes” for your well-being.

    Third tip: make use of technology. Set your phone or Slack on “Do Not Disturb” after work hours. Remove work apps from your personal devices. It’s not about being less committed—it’s about protecting your space.

    Fourth, delegate wherever you can. Are you the only one making dinner? Can your partner or kids help clean up? At work, is there a task you can hand to a colleague who’s ready to step up? Delegate, delegate, delegate.

    Number five: take real breaks. Actually step away, even if just for ten minutes. Drink your coffee while looking out the window, not at your inbox. These short respites can restore clarity and patience.

    Sixth tip: visibly block family events and personal time on your calendar. Whether it’s Maya’s recital or a solo walk, mark it as busy. Treat these appointments with the same respect as a client meeting.

    Seventh, communicate boundaries assertively. Use “I” statements: “I need to be offline after 5 p.m. to spend time with my family.” Giving context helps others understand, and offering a compromise when possible can ease the conversation.

    Number eight: separate spaces. If you work from home, establish a physical boundary—even if it’s just a corner of your living room. When you leave that space, you’re off-duty, for real.

    Ninth: don’t apologize for needing time for yourself. Your needs are valid. Take that walk, schedule the yoga class, read that book—whatever fills your cup.

    And last, let go of guilt. No one can do everything, all the time. Celebrate what you achieve, and remember, you are setting an empowered example for everyone around you—your kids, your coworkers, and yes, yourself.

    Setting boundaries isn’t about shutting people out. It’s about including yourself in your list of priorities. And that is the real power move.

  • Boundary Boss: Empowering Working Moms to Reclaim Balance

    Boundary Boss: Empowering Working Moms to Reclaim Balance
    Apr 9 2025
    This is your Working Women's Guide podcast.

    Welcome back to the Working Women’s Guide, and today we’re diving into something that resonates deeply with so many of us: work-life balance, especially for working mothers. As we navigate the endless demands of career and family life, setting clear boundaries becomes essential. Here are ten practical tips to help working mothers reclaim their time and energy.

    First off, **let go of mom guilt**. Many of us feel pressure to be perfect parents while excelling at work. Remember, your job provides for your family and shows your kids the value of hard work. Embrace the positives that come from your career—like being a role model and providing for your child’s future.

    Next, **learn to say no**. It’s okay to turn down that extra project or committee role if it means protecting your family time. Prioritize what’s important to you. This may require solid communication with colleagues and supervisors, so they understand your limitations and respect your boundaries.

    **Establish work hours** that fit your family’s needs. For instance, try to avoid scheduling work meetings during family meals. Set specific workdays and hours, and stick to them. This not only helps you focus during work but also allows you to be fully present when you’re at home.

    **Create a designated workspace**. If you’re working from home, carve out a physical space that signifies work time. When you leave that space, switch into family mode. This separation helps reinforce boundaries in your mind and signals to your family when you need to focus.

    **Use technology wisely**. Leverage tools like “Do Not Disturb” settings to prevent interruptions during your work hours. Allow only critical calls or messages to come through. This reduces distractions and helps you maintain your productivity.

    Moreover, **delegate responsibilities** both at work and home. This might mean asking your partner to take over specific chores or involving your children in age-appropriate tasks. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work!

    Another essential tip is to **schedule “me time.”** Carve out moments just for yourself—whether it’s reading a book, taking a yoga class, or enjoying a coffee alone. This time is crucial for recharging and maintaining your mental health.

    Don’t forget to **communicate your needs**. Make sure your employer and your family are aware of the support you need. A good boss will understand that flexibility can lead to greater loyalty and productivity, while your family can help by respecting your work hours.

    **Practice mindfulness and presence**. When you’re with your family, truly engage. Put your phone away, listen actively, and make the most of those moments. This builds stronger relationships and allows you to disconnect from work stress.

    Lastly, **build a support network**. Connect with other working moms who understand your struggles. Whether through local groups or online forums, sharing experiences can provide encouragement and valuable advice. You're not alone in this journey.

    Creating a sustainable work-life balance takes effort, but with these tips, you can set boundaries that protect your time, energy, and well-being. Embrace your power as a working mother and remember, it's not just about managing tasks—it's about nurturing your happiness and health. Together, we can empower each other to thrive at work and at home.

  • Boundaries, Not Barriers: 10 Tips for Working Moms to Reclaim Balance

    Boundaries, Not Barriers: 10 Tips for Working Moms to Reclaim Balance
    Apr 2 2025
    This is your Working Women's Guide podcast.

    Welcome to the *Working Women’s Guide*! Today, let’s talk about something every working mom wrestles with: boundaries. Managing a career and a family is no small feat, so today I’ll give you ten practical tips for setting boundaries to reclaim your balance and thrive.

    First, let’s start with a foundation—**recognize your priorities.** What truly matters to you? Is it being there for school pickups, bedtime rituals, or carving out time for your own self-care? Get clear about your non-negotiables. When you know your priorities, saying “no” to distractions becomes easier.

    On that note, tip number two—**learn to say no.** No to extra work projects that don’t align with your goals. No to overextending yourself with social obligations. Every “no” is a “yes” to something meaningful in your own life. Remember, you’re not selfish; you’re strategic.

    Now, communication is key. **Set clear boundaries at work and home.** For example, discuss your working hours with your manager and let colleagues know when you’re unavailable. At home, let your family know what you need—whether that’s uninterrupted time to work or help with chores. Boundaries thrive on clarity.

    Speaking of clarity, **design your time with intention.** Block out work hours and family time on your calendar. And stick to it! Maybe it’s leaving work at 5 PM sharp or scheduling Sunday mornings for “you time.” Guard these hours fiercely—they’re your lifeline.

    And here’s a big one—**disconnect.** Set boundaries with technology. Use that “do not disturb” feature on your phone during family dinners or playtime. One mom I know keeps her laptop out of sight after dinner, promising herself just 90 minutes of work post-bedtime, and only if necessary. Protect the sacred space with your loved ones.

    Tip number six is **delegate.** You don’t need to do everything. Share responsibilities with your partner, enlist your kids to help with small tasks, or hire help when possible. Asking for support is not weakness; it’s wisdom.

    Let’s not forget self-care—**create “me time.”** Whether it’s a 20-minute morning walk, yoga after work, or sinking into a book at bedtime, prioritize self-rejuvenation. A recharged you is a kinder, more effective you.

    Another crucial tip—**practice being present.** When you’re at work, focus on work. When you’re with your kids, put down the phone and engage fully. Multitasking might seem productive, but it can dilute the quality of both your work and family time. Be where your feet are.

    Ninth, **don’t let guilt rule your decisions.** Mom guilt is tough, but remind yourself: you’re modeling strength, independence, and resilience for your kids. Focus on the positives your work adds to your family, like financial stability or a sense of purpose.

    Finally, **reassess your boundaries regularly.** Life evolves—kids grow, jobs change, needs shift. Make it a habit to reflect and adjust your boundaries to fit your current reality.

    So, working moms, here’s your takeaway: boundaries aren’t barriers, they’re bridges. They connect us to what matters most. Embrace them unapologetically, and you’ll find the balance you deserve. Stay empowered, and I’ll see you next time on the *Working Women’s Guide*!
