Back to school.

Back to business.

Back to carrying everything… again?

If you’re a mum running a business, this season probably feels familiar.

Uniforms. Stationery chaos. Permission slips. Lunchboxes you hope were emptied last term.

And that quiet belief whispering in your head: “Once this settles down… then I’ll focus on my business.”

But it never settles down.

In this episode, Sarah is calling time on the “I’ll start when life calms down” trap and walking you through how to actually build a business that works inside school terms, school holidays, sick kids, and the mental load you’re already carrying.

No fantasy schedules. No perfect weeks.

Just real systems that hold you even when life is messy.

✔ Why waiting for the “right time” is quietly killing your momentum

✔ How to do business before your bandwidth disappears

✔ The power of fewer priorities and tighter execution

✔ How to decide what actually matters in your business (and what you can stop doing)

✔ Why your business model must be designed around school terms

✔ How to plan term one without burning yourself out in week one

1. The myth that school holidays = a break for mum business owners
2. Why perfect weeks don’t exist (and never have)
3. Doing less, but doing it better in life and business
4. Critical success factors vs busywork that doesn’t move the needle
5. How to choose one or two six-week projects instead of trying to do everything
6. What not to plan during back-to-school weeks (hint: big decisions)
7. Practical back-to-school systems that reduce your load year after year

1. You feel excited for the kids to be back at school… and exhausted at the same time
2. You keep telling yourself “next week I’ll focus on my business”
3. You’re tired of carrying the mental load at home and at work
4. You want your business to fit around mum life not fight against it
5. You’re done with fantasy schedules and ready for something sustainable
