If you’re a mom, you’ve probably been given the advice at one point or another to “sleep while the baby sleeps.”

And, as busy entrepreneurs, we’ve had the importance of self-care and taking a break drilled into our heads.

But how can you find time to pause and recharge when it seems like everything you’re doing is an urgent and important priority?

In this latest episode of the Marketing Like a Mother podcast, Olivia Radcliffe and Michelle Pontvert discuss how to take a break from work as a busy entrepreneur. They shared their own experiences with fatigue and exhaustion, particularly as parents with young kids.

The two mompreneurs discussed how the idea of being busy has become a source of pride and status in society, but that it is not necessarily indicative of productivity.

But is it possible to be busy without feeling so stressed and frazzled?
