Description

Ever feel like your family’s CEO, chef, chauffeur, therapist… and yet somehow still the only one who knows where the dang field trip form is? You're not alone, and you’re definitely not crazy!


On this week’s episode of The Life Management System, I’m joined by Dana Malstaff - single mom and founder of Boss Mom - to talk about the mental load, motherhood, and why delegation isn’t a dirty word.


And y’all, not only is she dropping practical wisdom on managing your time, energy, and identity as a working mom, but she’s also got a jaw-dropping tool that might just change the way you coach yourself through overwhelm (spoiler: it involves AI and your future self 🧠⚡).


🎧 Inside this episode, we cover:

• How Dana juggles parenting, entrepreneurship, and staying sane(ish) without burning out

• The truth about delegating as a high-achiever (and why it’s more than just “asking for help”)

• How Dana created a personalized GPT tool - Future Me - to help coach herself (and now you!)

• Why your snack drawer might be the key to reclaiming 10 minutes of your life 😅


Whether you’re a mompreneur, remote worker, or 9-to-5 powerhouse trying to keep the plates spinning, this episode will make you laugh, nod, and rethink how you support yourself inside the chaos.
