Thriving as a Mompreneur: Finding Balance, Building Success, and Creating a Life You Love
Being a mom is challenging, and running a business is no small feat. Combine the two, and you’re officially in “mompreneur” territory—where every day is a delicate balance of family and work. In the latest episode of Money, Motherhood & Manifestation, Alexandra Harbushka dives deep into this unique journey, offering insights and advice for moms determined to excel in both roles.
Embrace Your Unique Path
Alexandra opens the discussion by emphasizing the importance of recognizing and embracing our individual paths. No two journeys look the same, and that’s okay. Often, mompreneurs get caught up in comparisons, which can be counterproductive and draining. Alexandra encourages listeners to honor their unique circumstances, strengths, and challenges, using these as a guide rather than following someone else’s blueprint.
Set Boundaries to Avoid Burnout
One of the most critical points Alexandra raises is the necessity of setting boundaries. It’s all too easy to feel that we need to be "always on"—checking emails, responding to clients, or finishing tasks late into the night. But this mindset can quickly lead to burnout. Alexandra suggests defining specific work hours, respecting downtime, and even incorporating family as a priority on your calendar. “You’re not a machine,” she reminds us. Creating clear boundaries enables us to show up more fully and energetically for both work and family.
Prioritize Self-Care to Serve Others Better
Alexandra also underscores the importance of self-care as a non-negotiable. In the hustle and bustle of balancing a family and business, moms often put themselves last. However, Alexandra encourages listeners to view self-care as essential. This doesn’t mean hours at the spa—sometimes, it’s just a 15-minute meditation or a quick walk. Small acts of self-care recharge you, helping you serve both your family and business with more passion and focus.
Leverage Support Systems
Support systems are crucial, Alexandra reminds us. Surround yourself with people who uplift you—whether they’re family, friends, or other mompreneurs. It’s not just about childcare; sometimes, it’s about sharing advice or just having someone who understands your journey. And if the right support isn’t already there, don’t hesitate to build it. Connect with other mompreneurs, join communities, or even just engage online with like-minded people.
Actionable Steps to Get Started
To wrap up, Alexandra shares some quick, actionable steps for mompreneurs ready to level up:
Set clear work-life boundaries. Define and stick to them.
Incorporate self-care daily. Even small moments matter.
Seek out support. Find other mompreneurs or build a network.
Reflect on your “why.” Stay connected to your purpose, which will keep you motivated on tough days.
For those juggling motherhood and business, Alexandra’s insights offer both inspiration and practical advice. Remember, the journey may not be easy, but with intention, balance, and the right support, it’s entirely possible to thrive as a mompreneur.
