Let’s talk about building a business that fits your actual life—not some calendar packed with hustle and “rise and grind” chants. In this episode, I sit down with Annie Hillman (https://1428financial.com/), and we dig into the not-so-glamorous (but totally real) side of running a business with a young kid at home.

From juggling bookkeeping with toddler tantrums, to unapologetically choosing slow mornings over rushed school drop-offs, Annie gets right into the nitty-gritty of time-blocking, home rhythms (spoiler: one load of laundry a day counts as a win), clear boundaries, and what happens when something just has to give.
If you’ve ever wondered how “your people” are really making it work—without the million-dollar productivity tools or extra hours magically appearing in your week—this episode is your inside peek.

Key Takeaways:
Build a realistic weekly flow by setting boundaries, time-blocking, and embracing flexibility (even if it doesn’t come naturally).
Find your own family and home rhythms—what works for others might not work for you, and that’s more than okay.
Give yourself permission to prioritize, drop the “shoulds”, and let “good enough” win some days—your ordinary business (and sanity) will thank you.
