88 - From "I'll Do It Later" to "It's Already Done": Brina's Realizations About Time
The Life Coach for Working Moms PodcastShow Notes
You finally have the flexibility you wanted... so why does it feel harder than ever to get anything done? In this episode, I'm joined by Brina, a working mom and member of the Beyond Balance group, who shares how she navigates a full-time remote role, a partner with an unpredictable travel schedule, and the ever-changing needs of her son.
We talk about the invisible expectations working moms place on themselves, the myth of the "normal week," and how Brina shifted from frustration to flow by building systems that help her get things done and still have time for her family. From scheduling weekends with intention to making invisible work visible—at home and at work—this conversation is full of practical wisdom and deep validation.
To learn how to get things done with the time that you have as a busy, working mom, register for my upcoming free class - Plan It, Do It, Done: 3 Simple Steps to Finally Feel on Top of Work & Life.

Working moms today spend more time with their kids than stay-at-home moms did a generation ago, while men's time on housework has barely changed. No wonder so many of us are exhausted.
From now until the end of the year we add a whole second list on top of everything else and just expect that we'll somehow fit it all in. It's no wonder working moms feel exhausted by the new year!
What if the fight about the dishwasher was never about the dishwasher? Working motherhood is hard, and when you're carrying more than your fair share of the mental load, it's easy to say "I feel like I'm doing everything and you're doing nothing," an argument you've had many times before.
If you've ever tried time blocking and thought "this doesn't work for me", this episode is for you.
Working motherhood is hard, and most of us believe that if we just got through the list, we'd finally feel calm. But what if your to-do list isn't the reason you feel overwhelmed?
