Finding Focus Amidst the Chaos of Motherhood
Description
At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family.
In this episode, Dana addresses the spiral every mom entrepreneur knows too well: when your brain has 80,000 tabs open and everything feels equally important. She reveals how we condition everyone around us to need us, making it impossible to prioritize effectively. Dana introduces the FEE test and ROI framework to help you distinguish between being busy and being productive, shares why not all time with your kids has the same value (and why that's okay), and explains the three-step process to pull yourself back when you're overwhelmed. From the guilt of wasted time to the reality of managing multiple "babies" in your business, she gets honest about what it takes to stop spiraling. You don't need a perfect system—you just need clarity on what actually moves the needle.
