222. Working From Home With Kids: Boundaries, Routines & Sanity for Working Moms

Hi Mamas,

If you’ve ever tried to run a Zoom call while cutting grapes, negotiating peace during a toddler tantrum, and pointing wildly to a "quiet!" sign taped to your door... this one’s for you.

In this episode, we cover:

✅ Why working from home as a mom isn’t always the dream setup we imagine
✅ How to set healthy boundaries (even when your office is your kitchen)
✅ Tips to create separation between work and home—even when they happen in the same space
✅ Communication hacks for handling tough days and unexpected chaos
✅ Simple mindset shifts that give you permission to pause, reset, and not do it all

Plus, I’m sharing my go-to tool for busy working moms:
👉Boundaries Made Simple – a free guide packed with realistic scripts to help you say no (without guilt), set limits with confidence, and carve out time for the life you actually want to live.

You’ll learn:

• How to use visual cues and rituals to transition between roles
• How to prep your people so your day doesn’t fall apart by 10 a.m.
• Why giving yourself breaks (yes, even 10 minutes) actually makes you more productive
• What to do when your job is taking a toll on the version of you you want your kids to remember

👀 Need more support? Check out Episode 104: “10 Signs That It’s Time to Look for a New Job” if your current role isn’t giving you the flexibility or support you need as a working mom.

✨ Remember:
You don’t have to work like you don’t have kids.
You don’t have to parent like you don’t have a job.
You’re allowed to do both—with boundaries, intention, and a whole lot of grace.
