  • Boundaries, Balance, and Boss Mom Moves: 10 Essential Tips for Working Moms

    Boundaries, Balance, and Boss Mom Moves: 10 Essential Tips for Working Moms
    Feb 16 2025
    This is your Working Women's Guide podcast.

    Welcome to Working Women's Guide. Today, we're diving into the essential topic of work-life balance for working mothers. As a working mom myself, I understand the challenges of juggling career, family, and personal well-being. Here are 10 practical tips to help you set boundaries and achieve a healthier balance.

    First, let's talk about setting boundaries. Elyse Dub, PhD, emphasizes the importance of using "I" statements, providing context, and offering compromises to communicate your needs effectively[2]. For instance, when dealing with extended family, you might say, "I love spending time with you, but between work and the kids, we need to plan visits in advance."

    Identifying your priorities is crucial. Recognize your career goals, family time, and self-care needs. Determine what is essential for you and your family's happiness and well-being[1]. Communicate these boundaries clearly to your employer, colleagues, partner, and children.

    Delegating responsibilities is another key strategy. Give tasks and responsibilities to others when possible, both at work and home. This can help lighten your load and create space for self-care and quality time with your family[1].

    Time management is also vital. Use effective time management techniques like creating to-do lists, prioritizing tasks, and using productivity tools or apps. Organizing your time can help you do more while reducing feelings of overwhelm[1].

    Reducing distractions is essential. Limit socializing with colleagues, take shorter lunch breaks, and avoid distractions from social media. When you're at home, focus on your partner and child rather than on TV or your phone[4].

    Finding a childcare provider you can trust is critical. Look for a quality daycare with flexible hours, a low teacher-to-child ratio, a clean environment, and an up-to-date license. Alternatively, consider hiring a nanny with extensive experience and great references[4].

    Talking to your manager is important. Explain your needs and limitations, and discuss how you plan to keep up your exceptional work despite the demands of being a mom[4].

    Self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity. Prioritize physical needs like exercise and sleep, and try meditation to invest in that mind-body connection. Take your vitamins, keep hydrated, and eat well[1].

    Building a support network is indispensable. Find friends, family, and fellow working moms who can offer encouragement, advice, and help when needed. Don't hesitate to ask for help or seek professional support if you're feeling overwhelmed[1].

    Finally, remember to let go of the mom guilt. Focus on the positive things your work brings to your life and family. You're demonstrating a stellar work ethic and providing for your family's needs[4].

    By implementing these strategies, you can create a better work-life balance and thrive as a working mom. Remember, setting boundaries is not about shutting people out; it's about including them in a way that works for you. Start small, have those conversations, and trust that you can create the balance you need.

  • Balance Boundaries: Empowering Working Moms to Thrive at Home and Work

    Balance Boundaries: Empowering Working Moms to Thrive at Home and Work
    Feb 12 2025
    This is your Working Women's Guide podcast.

    Welcome to the Working Women's Guide podcast. Today, we're diving straight into practical tips for working mothers to improve their work-life balance, focusing on setting boundaries.

    As a working mom, you're juggling multiple roles, and it's easy to get overwhelmed. But setting boundaries is crucial to maintaining your well-being and effectiveness. Elyse Dub, PhD, a psychologist and founder of Insight Onsite, emphasizes the importance of using "I" statements, providing context, and offering compromises when setting boundaries[2].

    Let's start with identifying priorities. Recognize what's essential for you and your family's happiness and well-being. This includes career goals, family time, and self-care needs. Clearly communicate these boundaries to your employer, colleagues, partner, and children. Articulate your needs, limitations, and expectations about work hours, flexibility, and family time[1].

    Here are ten practical tips to help you achieve a better work-life balance:

    First, set specific boundaries that protect your time and physical and mental energy. Choose set times for work and family, and communicate these boundaries with your employer and family members.

    Second, delegate tasks and responsibilities to others when possible, both at work and home. This can help lighten your load and create space for self-care and quality time with your family.

    Third, prioritize physical needs such as exercise and sleep. Try meditation to invest in that mind-body connection. Take your vitamins, keep hydrated, and eat well to better manage stress.

    Fourth, use effective time management techniques. Create to-do lists, prioritize tasks, and use productivity tools or apps to organize your time.

    Fifth, build a support network of friends, family, and fellow working moms. Find those who can offer encouragement, advice, and help when needed.

    Sixth, let go of the mom guilt. Focus on the positive things your work brings to your life and family. You're demonstrating a stellar work ethic to your family, which is something to be proud of.

    Seventh, look for time-saving hacks. Order your groceries online, join conference calls during your morning commute, and plan your outfits the night before work.

    Eighth, find a childcare provider you can trust. Knowing your child is well cared for will give you peace of mind while at work.

    Ninth, talk to your manager about your needs. A good manager will understand that being a mom doesn't make you less of an employee. Make sure your boss understands your necessities and how you plan to keep up your exceptional work.

    Lastly, be present wherever you are. Try to live in the moment, whether at work or with your family. This will make your family time more meaningful and your work time more productive.

    By implementing these tips, you can create a better work-life balance and maintain your well-being as a working mom. Remember, setting boundaries is not about shutting people out; it's about including them in a way that works for you. Start small, have those conversations, and trust that you can create the balance you need.

  • Boundless Balance: 10 Life Hacks for the Working Mom's Sanity

    Boundless Balance: 10 Life Hacks for the Working Mom's Sanity
    Feb 9 2025
    This is your Working Women's Guide podcast.

    Welcome to the Working Women's Guide podcast. Today, we're diving straight into the heart of what matters most to working mothers: achieving that elusive work-life balance. Let's get practical with 10 tips that can transform your life.

    First, let's talk about setting boundaries. Elyse Dub, PhD, emphasizes the importance of using "I" statements, providing context, and offering compromises to communicate your needs effectively[2]. For example, if your family expects you to host a holiday dinner but you can't this time, try saying, "I really enjoy hosting everyone each year. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to do it this time because of my work schedule. I’d be happy to help with planning, food, and clean-up."

    Next, prioritize your time and energy. Identify your priorities as a working mom, including career goals, family time, and self-care needs. Clearly communicate these boundaries to your employer, colleagues, partner, and children[1]. Remember, setting boundaries is not about shutting people out but about including them in a way that works for you.

    Third, delegate responsibilities. Give tasks to others when possible, both at work and home. This can help lighten your load and create space for self-care and quality time with your family[1]. For instance, Taylor Wolfram, a private practice owner and new mom, sets work day boundaries by scheduling work only on days she has childcare and sticking to her working hours on those days[5].

    Fourth, manage your time effectively. Use to-do lists, prioritize tasks, and utilize productivity tools or apps to organize your time. This can help you do more while reducing feelings of overwhelm[1].

    Fifth, seek support. Build a network of friends, family, and fellow working moms who can offer encouragement, advice, and help when needed. Don’t hesitate to ask for help or seek professional support if you’re feeling overwhelmed[1].

    Sixth, let go of the mom guilt. Focus on the positive aspects your work brings to your life and family, such as extra income and health insurance. You’re also demonstrating a strong work ethic to your family, which is something to be proud of[4].

    Seventh, find time-saving hacks. Use life’s cheat codes like ordering groceries online, joining conference calls during your commute, and planning your outfits the night before work[4].

    Eighth, find a childcare provider you can trust. Whether it’s a quality daycare or a nanny with extensive experience, knowing your child is well cared for will give you peace of mind while at work[4].

    Ninth, talk to your manager. Explain your needs and how you plan to keep up your exceptional work despite the challenges of being a working mom. Hopefully, your manager will appreciate your dedication and accommodate you[4].

    Lastly, be present wherever you are. Try to live in the moment, whether it’s at your kid’s soccer game or during a work meeting. This will make your family time more meaningful and your work time more productive[4].

    By implementing these practical tips, you can achieve a better work-life balance and thrive as a working mother. Remember, setting boundaries is not just about saying no but about saying yes to what truly matters to you.
