At any given time, I have a lengthy list of projects I want to complete, from business to personal to home and more. It's never ending, because when I check one off, another one pops up in its place.

As a mom living a full life, finish micro projects has been my savior. It keeps me on task and helps me finish more projects without becoming overwhelmed. In this episode, I'll show you how to break your small projects down into manageable, bite size pieces and get more done.

For 8 years, my husband and I (with 2 kids eventually) lived in a tiny 900 square foot apartment. Having very limited space and only one closet made staying organized challenging.

Through that experience, I learned a lot about how to organize and manage small spaces by utilizing what I did have and editing out what we didn't need. In today's episode, I'm talking about how to organize your smaller spaces.

Put an end to the idea of perfect routines (because, psst...they don't exist) and getting started with what I call "Good Enough Routines." 

Good Enough Routines allow you to be successful, save time and be productive in the season you're in NOW, without worrying about what you "should" be doing. In this episode, I'll walk you through what they are and how to start implementing them now.

How many times have you spent your precious time decluttering, purging and editing your spaces only to have a tornado of stuff back in your house within a few months? 

This phenomenon is what I call "boomerang clutter" and I want to help you deal with it and end it for good. 

We all know mom advice is everywhere, but it's usually unsolicited and comes with a heaping side of judgment. Today, we're changing that narrative.

I asked my Homemakerish U™ students to provide the best mom advice they've ever received and the answers were incredible. I'm sharing them with you today. This is an episode you'll want to listen to more than once.

When the habits you're trying to build seem difficult and unattainable, I have a phrase that will change everything.

Just. For. Today.

In this mini episode, I'm going to let you know why this phrase has completely shifted my mindset and helped me create better routines and habits that are easier than ever to stick with.

They say teamwork makes the dream work, but what creates teamwork?

Creating a culture of teamwork is a top priority for many families, but the question is "Where do I start? How do I promote this in my own home?"

Today's episode is a deep dive into how to define teamwork in your family and how to get started with getting your family on board no matter what season you're in now.

If I could turn back time, I'd tell myself a lot.

I'd teach my younger self all the things I learned the hard way so she didn't have to.

Most of all, I'd show her grace and compassion so she could enter adulthood feeling prepared without worrying about being perfect.

Today's episode is dedicated to the everything I'd teach my younger self about adulting.

On air coaching is back and I'm so excited to share this episode with you.

Robin Prudhoe is a busy lady with older kids in a different season of her life that demands more of her than she anticipated. In this episode, we talk through simple ways for her to get started with prioritizing her schedule and getting tasks done without becoming overwhelmed.

This is my favorite concept and truly the backbone of everything Mother Like a Boss.

Today we're talking about how to use the power of momentum and 5 minutes at a time to get things done without exhausting yourself. 

If you find yourself easily distracted and losing focus while cleaning, you've come to the right place.

In this episode, I'm sharing my very simple, sorta mind-blowing solution that can help you stay focused without any magic hacks.

You ever spend the entire weekend organizing your bedroom closet only to have it back to the way it was in a month?

We talk a lot of lip service in the organizing niche about "getting organized" but what about staying that way? Really, it's all about systems. So let's talk about how to create simple, sustainable systems in your life that you can keep up with.

As a time travel enthusiast (read: nerd) I love talking about the ways we view time in our society. We see it as linear and as something we have no control over. The truth is, time (as we know it) is a made up concept that we have far more control over than we think. 

It all starts with changing our relationship with time and today we're going to talk about how to get started so we can unbusy our lives. 

In mom culture, there is an overwhelming attachment from how much we get done to how worthy we feel and frankly, it has to stop. 

Today we're going to talk about where this comes from and how to end it.

Modern homemaking isn't just for one "type" of mom. It isn't even just for moms. Every person living in a home is by definition a homemaker. 

There are so many ways to run your home, schedule your routines and get things done, but where to start?

Today's episode is dedicated to helping you find your own personal homemaking style so you can cultivate a space that feels good for your family and your season. 

"It's out of control!" 

It's how a lot of moms feel about our houses. With everything we're responsible for focusing on, it's easy for everything to feel out of control at home. I want to help you take your home back, finally and for good. 

The idea of home management is pretty overwhelming and aren't we all overwhelmed enough? 

I have a simple 2 week plan to help you manage your home without spending hours a day doing it (and even if you have no idea where to start!)

Let's face it: one sized fits all routines don't work and they haven't for a long time. 

One of the reasons so many moms believe routines don't work for them is because they've been sold the belief that routines have to be rigid, have to look a certain way absolutely have to be done the same way every day until eternity. Wrong.

Whether you stay at home with your kids, work outside the home, own a business, work at home, work part time, or have grown children that don't even live at home anymore, let's talk about how to make simple, bite-sized routines work for your mom type and season. 

A lot of things in life are highly subjective. Messes are one of those things. 

A mess to one person is perfectly acceptable and tidy to another. Clean to one person is dirty to another. 

As someone that ran a cleaning business for over a decade and served hundreds of clients, I can tell you that everyone has a very different threshold for messes. Knowing what yours is (and everyone else that lives in your house) can help you set routines that serve you and manage expectations of yourself and others. 

The Mother Like a Boss™ podcast has reached a big milestone: 300 episodes!

To celebrate this incredible occasion (and celebrate every single one of you that has listened over the years) I'm bringing my best friend Erika Tebbens to the podcast to interview me. I'm answering questions submitted by our audience and students, and a few Erika is throwing in for good measure. 

Thanks to each and every one of you for supporting the show, sharing it with friends, subscribing and letting us know how it's changing your life. It's all for you, mama!

If you feel like you spend your life putting out fires, this episode is for you.

One of the greatest shifts I've made in my life, in my home and as a mother is becoming more proactive than I am reactive. Whether it's in my day to day routines or my mindset, I'm going to show you have to set yourself up for success so that you spend less time reacting to the moment. 

Can you believe it?!

The Mother Like a Boss Podcast has hit 400 episodes!

It has been the wildest and most incredible ride and I'm so thankful to each and every one of you for being here. Without, it would just be me talking into a void.

To celebrate, we're doing something fun. My sister Shannon is gracing us with her awesome presence by interviewing ME with questions that came from all of you.

This is a super fun listen, so let's dive in.

When it comes to the inner workings of how you run your home, from bedtime rituals to how you plan your meals to the amount of screen time you allow your children, opinions are everywhere. The come from those we know and love, and those we've never met.

Today, let's talk about how to deal with those opinions, whose advice you should be listening to (spoiler: you get to CHOOSE) and how to finally live the way you want without worrying what anyone else has to say about it.

I've been putting this episode off for a while, but it was finally time to take it off the "maybe someday" list and record my feelings and thoughts. 

Just like most other women, my journey to self love and acceptance hasn't been easy. In fact, some days it's been downright grueling and heartbreaking.

But as my years pass, I've been able to embrace my truest self by allowing her to shine through. I hope that by sharing my story, someone will start their journey, too. 

I love food and I love helping moms simplify their home management, so the idea of "bite-sized homemaking" is right up my alley.  In a world that continues to push the "go big or go home" narrative, we're turning the tables and doing things completely differently. The Mother Like a Boss™ way of doing homemaking is modern, simple and sustainable.  I'm going to break down what the bite-sized method is and why it works for all moms, no matter what season of motherhood you find yourself in right now. 

On air coaching is back and I'm so excited to share this episode with you.

Jennifer Akins is a busy musician and a grandmother of a 7 month old that she takes care of often. In this episode, we talk through simple ways for her to get started decluttering and organizing her home and sticking to routines, even when she's completely overwhelmed.

"I feel like all I do is clean my house!" is one of the most comment complaints and struggles I hear from my followers, so if this is you mama, you are not alone.

The thing is, after cleaning hundreds of homes over an 11 year period, I know the real reasons that it takes you so long to clean and why you feel like it's all you do. The good news is I have a solution. The bad news is it's going to take a big mindset shift to make it happen. Are you ready?

I've always been a solution-oriented person, so nothing sticks in my craw quite like the fact that we discuss mom burn out constantly and yet have no real solutions to work through it.

What if we worked to stop burn out before it happened? Is that even possible? I'm going to share my thoughts and the simple solutions I've found to move me away from burn out and over to a place of peace and ease.

You are deserving of all the self care in the world. You deserve to care for your needs, physical and otherwise. Something I discovered about myself recently was how often I use self care as a form of avoidance and ultimately self sabotage.

How does that work? Because I wasn't focused on truly loving myself, but with using stereotypical self care activities, like shopping as a way to avoidance deeper self care. After talking to my students, I've found I'm not alone, so let's chat about it.

It's 2022 already. Happy New Year, mamas!

This is my favorite time of year to decluttering, purge and start fresh, but to start?

In honor of the new year, I'm giving you 22 things you get toss in right now in your home, in your schedule and in your life to make more room for what you want.

We're at that famous time of the year when we start thinking about all the new habits we're going to create in the next week or so, making the next year "bigger and better than ever" only to have those new habits get lost in a pile of past intentions by January 25.

There is an easier way and it's what I call the tether method. It's not a new concept, but it's my particular way that has helped me tether my new habits to my old ones and pull them along. This is just what you need to stay consistent with those new routines and goals you're ready to crush in this new year.

It's an absolute honor and privilege to introduce our podcast guest today, because not only is she a rockstar in the world of helping women live life with intention, she's also a supportive friend.

Shunta Grant is the creator of the Best Today® Guide and founder of Best Today® , a company that creates resources to help women take control of her most limited resource-- time. Shunta is on a mission to help women live lives of intention and does so through teaching them how to be proactive, intentional, self-aware and self-loving.

Shunta and I have a lot in common and a lot to say on the topics of time, productivity and consistency. This is an unmissable episode, friends.

Got clutter? Most of us do, unless you're an extreme minimalist.

But what happens when the clutter and piles taking over your house isn't yours?

Maybe it's from the kids, or a spouse, or a partner. What do you do when the clutter isn't yours but it needs to be taken care of?

Raise your hand if mom life has had you feeling like you're stuck in a rut, like a car spinning its wheels and kicking up nothing but mud.

You are not alone. You are in good company. You are not a bad mom.

The very real monotony of life as a mom can have us feeling like we can't move forward, then guilty for feeling that way, then frustrated that we feel guilt and so on down the line. Let's talk about how we can honor and understand these feelings and get out of the rut as quickly and effortlessly as possible.

It's the most wonderful time of the year...until it's not because you've over-scheduled yourself, said yes to things you swore you wouldn't and now feel like it's going to be the most stressful time of year, again.

What we need more of, ladies: boundaries! Let's talk about how to stick to holiday boundaries, whether they are with your family, your friends or with that most important person in your life: yourself!

Journaling is a highly effective yet incredibly misunderstood practice. Most think it's like keeping a diary, having to memorialize every moment of our lives in writing. A journal is more than a memoir, it's an insight into our inner thoughts, most of which we don't know we have.

Journaling has improved my life in ways I can't physically measure, but can feel deep inside. It's a habit that allows me to explore my mindset and work through the resentment, the exhaustion, the guilt and the worry that comes up in my mom life. Today, we have a special treat for you: a highly valuable episode + an opportunity to get our new guided journaling experience!

Are you an over-thinker? Do you overthink about how often you overthink? Do you do more thinking than doing, and then spend time thinking about how much you think, but don't do? Oh, the cycle!

As someone who spend the majority of her life inside her head, I get this and I want to help the moms of the world stop thinking and start doing. Your plans aren't doing you any good inside your head, my friend. Let's set up some routines to help you get to work, simply and easily.

Nothing is more difficult than an overcomplicated routine and I'm talking about for adults. Imagine how frustrating it is for a child. Routines are innately helpful for kids of all ages, but what if your children aren't sticking to them?

Today, we're going to talk about my bite size method and why it works so well for kids. I'm giving you the simple ways you can create snackable daily routines for your kids that will give you all your time back, for good.

I have a confession to make: I am an excellent planner, but I really fall short on the follow through. I always said I would have made an incredible personal assistant or professional planner, because when it comes to figuring out the details and starting a project, I'm your girl.

I just couldn't figure out why I wasn't following through, but now I have. It comes down to consistency, real consistency that's built on micro habits and bite size routines. If you're good at starting like me, this is your episode.

Let's call it what it is: we've become overly obsessed with productivity. Do the things, do more, do it all. In an effort to move away from just being "busy" we've now swung the pendulum over to the other side, focusing on always needing to produce. Especially in motherhood, many of us equate our worth with how many checkmarks we see on a list at the end of the day.

You are a worthy person outside of what you accomplish each day and it's time to find freedom from our productivity-obsessed culture.

Home organization has become way too complicated. There, I said it. From TV shows to billions of Pinterest search results to entire lines of products at Target, organization is now less about systems and more about flashiness. I'm pumping the brakes on all of it.

Today, I'm going to give you 6 simple and highly effective ways to keep your house organized in as little as 10 minutes at a time.

This is by far one of the top 5 most commonly ask questions at Mother Like a Boss™ and I'm jumping in with both feet today. There is nothing more overwhelming than trying to get started...when you already feel overwhelmed. It's like an overwhelmed soup.

I've got big value for you today, mindset shifts and practical tips to help you get started on anything, even when you feel overwhelmed and burnt out.

What if I told you that you could get more done without having to do more? "Sure, and maybe I could ride my magical unicorn to space while I'm at it."

It's possible and easier than you think. We're a little obsessed with productivity in our society, but the key to getting more done is creating momentum and prioritizing the order in which you do things. Having a domino area in your routines is how you accomplish both of those things.

The shock and relief I had when I realized I wasn't the only one who suffered from imposter syndrome. In fact, almost everyone I met had the same struggles.

"Am I good enough? Am I smart enough? Is everyone else better at this than I am? Do I belong?"

Imposter syndrome is real and we need to have an honest conversation about how to work through it because friend, you aren't an imposter.

Planning for the future can feel confusing, but planning to plan? That's just ridiculous, right? Wrong.

Implementing planning time into your schedule, even 10 minutes at a time can be the difference between living out your priorities and reaching your goals, and always feeling like your 10 steps behind. Planning time is how we stay proactive rather than reactive and it works for everyone. It today's episode, I'm giving you the low down on how to implement planning time into your schedule, even if you feel like you have no free time for it right now.

Let's just name it and claim it: the last 18+ months has been anything but kind and gentle with us, especially in the motherhood community. Between lockdowns and health concerns and school being virtual, I've felt anything but my "best." Now, it's time to choose ourselves again, to get back to a place where we can set goals- even VISUALIZE our goals- again.

So where to start? I'm going to tell you how I'm doing it and invite you all to join me in our 2021 cohort of Your Best Mom Year because you deserve to have dreams again, mama and you deserve to have them come true. Big and small. They all matter here.

Feel like your house is bursting at the seams with toys, popsicle crafts and construction paper pictures? Tell me you have kids without telling me you have kids, right?

There is a lot of sentimentality that goes into decluttering things like this and it also feels never ending, so today let's talk about simple solutions to getting rid of things so you can make room for the wonderful memories you do want to keep.
