In this episode of Millionaire Mompreneur, Alexa Starks is joined by Liz Kent, a licensed therapist and coach who specializes in helping overwhelmed moms find calm, set boundaries, and achieve a healthier work-life balance.

Liz shares practical advice on redefining self-care, setting flexible boundaries, and fostering a collaborative family culture to make life more manageable. Together, they dive into relatable challenges faced by mompreneurs, from juggling multiple responsibilities to managing the mental load that comes with both motherhood and business ownership.

Key Takeaways:

Redefining Self-Care and Setting Boundaries:

Liz reframes self-care beyond traditional pampering, emphasizing it as daily practices that protect one’s energy and well-being.
Boundaries can be flexible and change with life stages. They aren’t rigid walls but tools to manage stress and foster a healthier family dynamic.

The Power of Weekly Check-Ins with Your Partner:

Liz suggests implementing weekly check-ins with your partner to discuss family, work stressors, and household responsibilities, making collaboration smoother.
This time also provides space for parents to share goals, challenges, and any parenting updates, helping avoid last-minute frustrations.

Time Management Hacks for Mompreneurs:

Liz advocates for using the “52/17 rule” (52 minutes of focused work, followed by a 17-minute break) to improve productivity.
Physically “closing work” (e.g., putting your laptop in another room) helps keep work and family time separate and meaningful.

Letting Go of “Doing It All”:

Both Liz and Alexa stress the importance of redefining what “having it all” means. For mompreneurs, this often means focusing on key priorities and letting go of the societal pressure to do everything perfectly.
Liz introduces a values inventory exercise to help moms align their time with what truly matters to them and their families.

Building a Collaborative Household:

Liz discusses strategies for sharing the mental and physical load at home, from setting shared family email addresses for school and activity updates to encouraging kids to help with household tasks.

Actionable Insight: Take time this week to set one intentional boundary that protects your well-being, whether it’s a work cutoff time, a phone-free hour, or a weekly check-in with your partner. Small shifts can create a big difference in mental peace and productivity.
