75 - When Flexibility Meets Reality: The Pros and Cons of Nontraditional Schedules
Update: 2025-10-21
Description
Have you ever looked at another working mom's schedule and wondered how they do it? In this episode, my dear friend and college roommate Rachel joins me to talk about what life looks like 16 years into running her own independent piano studio while raising two daughters and managing a nontraditional work schedule that flips the typical 9-5 on its head.
We talk about:
- What a "typical" day looks like when your workday starts at 3 p.m.
- How she manages her studio, family, and home life (and what her students think she does "all day")
- Setting boundaries when you're self-employed and work from home
- Sharing calendars, coordinating schedules, and staying connected as a family
- The trade-offs and freedoms that come with unconventional work hours
- Reconnecting with reading, creativity, and hobbies as your kids grow
Whether you're a working mom with a flexible schedule, a creative entrepreneur, or simply curious about how other families make it all work, this conversation will have something for you.
Tune in for real talk about work, family, music, and the balancing act so many of us are navigating — with a little nostalgia and laughter sprinkled in
