That Behind Feeling? Let’s Talk About It.

Ever feel like everyone else has kicked into full work mode…while you’re still juggling kids, snacks, uniforms, camps, activities, and a half-working brain?

That tight chest a sprinkle of low-grade panic. That rather annoying thought loop of “I should be further ahead by now.”


This episode is your permission slip to stop beating yourself up.


Because that “behind” feeling?

It’s not a sign you are failing or lazy and I promise it’s not a personal flaw.


It’s a split-season of capacity and once you see it clearly, everything changes.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why feeling behind is a feeling, not a fact

How shame sneaks in when we compare mismatched seasons

What “split attention season” actually means for mums in business

Why focus follows capacity (not the other way around)

How to use January for preparation, not pressure

What phased momentum looks like for real-life business owners

Simple ways to calm the comparison spiral and reclaim your energy

What we cover in this episode

Why January is not the starting line we think it is

The emotional sabotage of comparing yourself to people with totally different realities

How to plan now so execution feels lighter (and faster) later

Using low-brain tasks and idea parking to protect your future self

Choosing calm instead of letting the internet dictate your pace

Setting a clear restart date so you can stop feeling “in limbo”

Your reminder (because it matters):


You are not late. There is no race. And there is no universal start line.


You’re not behind; you're in a split season of capacity. And once you plan for that, everything feels lighter.
