In this episode, I introduce the “How to run your home like a business” framework. I talk about why it makes sense to a build strategy around the key pillars of our lives; work, home, childcare and self-care.

 As working mothers, we are carrying a heavy physical and mental load that comes with the work, home and childcare pillars which are leading to burnout.

When we become more operational around these pillars, we build time efficiencies to make room for our self-care strategy. This spans across our physical health, emotional and social health.

Once we have a plan in place, we can start to work with our partner, one of the main stakeholders in the business to manage the division of labour.

Another key resource is our team, our close family and friends - also known as our village. Our children are our customers. The overall goal is to ensure that they are happy.

The top line metric of success in this business is time. Time to be present with our partner, team and customers and to make room for self-care.
