208: Juggling Too Much? 4 Keys to Maintaining Your Sanity as a Mom and Business Owner with Ashley Freehan

This episode is for the mama’s out there who feel that balancing business life with mom life is harder than you signed up for. I’m raising my hand here too. Today on the podcast, we have Ashley Freehan, a brand photographer and a productivity and motherhood coach for mom photographers. She’s also a fellow podcaster, a wife, and a home-schooling mom of two! She’s passionate about helping moms confidently step into the role of CEO in their businesses so that they can manage their limited time with efficiency, intention, and joy without sacrificing their family or their sanity. Doesn’t that sound amazing?   In this episode, Ashley is walking us through 4 keys to maintaining your sanity as a business owner and a mom. We talked about things like:   Self-care as moms (in a practical sense for us moms) Setting boundaries with your kids so you can take care of yourself Why working in “small pockets of time” probably isn’t working for you (and what to do instead!) How to be more present (and on your phone less!) How Ashley is currently using social media in her business What your children really need from you as their mom How to focus on what moves the needle   Ashley Freehan gives us the permission we need to stop working in pockets of time (like nap time!) and take control over our self-care.
