My guest, Lesley Pyle, founder/owner of hiremymom.com, created a business 29 years ago on her own terms. She fulfilled her need to be a stay-at-home working mother and parlayed that into an abundant resource for other Moms seeking the same.  Today, hiremymom.com is a national, trustworthy, and highly efficient platform for women job seekers and employers to match up. As you will hear, Lesley is a three-decade ambitious, caring woman entrepreneur who never gave up on her dream to support mothers seeking work from home, like her. She shares her story how she found her solution by freelancing from home when her first child was an infant-toddler and the internet was in its infancy.  No easy feat, but she used her Public Relations expertise to promote her business. Her passion grew into a business helping other mothers with the same solution. Her popular job platform connects small businesses with freelancers and independent virtual professionals since 2007. They also provide training options, career services, and interview training. For those companies that want the all-in-one option, her Concierge service is an option. HMM brand stands on the values of faith, family, and flexible work options.   I used her services in December when I was in dire need of a highly experienced Virtual Assistant and found an OBM (online business manager) instead - after a week of interviewing top notch candidates. I share my story of what happened and what a Godsend her service was for my business. Her story is familiar to thousands of women today seeking a flexible work schedule for their family.  Listen in to how Lesley did it her way and how that became a respected and highly used platform for today's women who prefer to be a laptop lifestyle entrepreneur.    Links from the show:  Free download: Top 10 Interview Questions To Ask https://mailchi.mp/hiremymom/top-10-interview-questions-to-ask   https://www.hiremymom.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lspencerpyle/ http://instagram.com/hiremymom https://www.facebook.com/HireMyMom/ http://www.twitter.com/hiremymom/ https://www.tiktok.com/@hiremymom https://www.youtube.com/user/hiremymom/videos https://www.pinterest.com/hiremymomcom/boards/   CREATE Cohort for ambitious creative women entrepreneurs driven to achieve their one-year goals in 90-days. https://marladiann.com/create/ Schedule a 30 min call with Marla to chat about your 2024 goals, desires and how CREATE Cohort could change your life.

In many cases, work takes priority over family time because people rely on their jobs for the income that funds their lifestyles. Rather than jeopardizing that income, certain individuals will make time concessions that favor employment over personal relationships and family time. Recent data indicates that many people are trapped in unhealthy work-life balances and can't find the time to unwind and enjoy...Article Link

Parents confide in me all the time that they're tired, overwhelmed by all of the tasks screaming to get done on their to-do list -- and that they feel like they don't get enough time to be with their family. But what if I told you that there is ONE SIMPLE parenting strategy that could not only help you feel more peaceful and give you more time with your family, but it also makes your child or teen a better person too? You might be surprised to learn that all you have to do is to make sure you're using family routines and rituals. What are family routines and rituals? How EASY are they to create? And why are there so many benefits to using them? Listen to this episode to find out. Here's a snapshot of what you'll learn: [1:30] How my family routines and rituals (particularly two recent ones) have helped me stay close and connected with my family [4:38] What exactly a family routine is - and you'll get examples too! [9:38] How family rituals differ from routines — but they're just as important! Do I still need to convince you that you need family routines and rituals NOW? Ok. Let's explore what science says about them... [13:50] Research says that routines and rituals bring us closer as a family - they are associated with marital satisfaction, adolescents' sense of personal identity, and stronger family relationships [15:10] More research studies show that consistent routines and rituals help young people manage their day-to-day stress  [19:15] Got a child or teen with sleep issues? Research also says that young people with routines and rituals get more - and better quality - sleep [21:00] Got a child or teen with ADHD symptoms? Routines and rituals can help with that too! [24:10] Routines and rituals have also been shown to help young people navigate intense stressors (i.e. parental divorce, family or pet death, moving to a new city, etc.) a lot easier [27:10] Finally, my own observation: family routines and rituals are one of the best ways to teach -- and model -- important life lessons Now that you know you need some good family routines and rituals, how do you start them? [29:00] My 5 steps to creating GREAT family routines and rituals that bring peace, connection, and organization to the family Finally, I know you LOVE examples, so... [32:40} Example #1: creating a new family routine using all 5 steps [36:10] Example #2: Creating a "loose" and casual family routine                                                                         *** Want more info on Modern Parent?

On today's episode, we tackle New Zealand's dirty little secret: our throwaway bottle problem. With a shocking 2.57 billion single-use drinks bought last year and only 800,000 recycled, we discuss the lack of incentives to recycle and the government's slow progress in implementing a nationwide bottle recycling plant. Listen in as we also explore the water bottling process and how we're getting ripped off by big companies, and ponder why we don't set up our own water bottling plant and export it to the world. Additionally, we're joined by the talented Antonia Prebble to discuss her new comedy project and her experience raising her two children in a slower-paced lifestyle. Antonia shares her thoughts on the challenges of creating drama compared to reality TV and the joy of working on Double Parked, a show about a lesbian couple trying to get pregnant. We chat about how the show breaks boundaries by having lesbian characters as the central focus without making their sexuality a point of the story, and how it reflects the reality of the situation. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:10) - New Zealand's Recycling Crisis(0:07:32) - Recycling and Work-Family Balance in NZ(0:19:44) - New Zealand TV and Double Parked with Antonia Prebble(0:31:46) - Duncans Mum!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Academia has a big problem. For many parents—especially mothers—the idea of "work-life balance" is a work-life myth. Parents and caregivers work harder than ever to grow and thrive in their careers while juggling the additional responsibilities that accompany parenthood. Sudden disruptions and daily constraints such as breastfeeding, sick days that keep children home from school, and the sleep deprivation that plagues the early years of parenting threaten to derail careers. Some experience bias and harassment related to pregnancy or parental leave. The result is an academic Chutes and Ladders, where career advancement is nearly impossible for parents who lack access to formal or informal support systems. In The PhD Parenthood Trap: Gender, Bias, and the Elusive Work-Family Balance in Academia (Georgetown UP, 2021), Kerry F. Crawford and Leah C. Windsor reveal the realities of raising kids, on or off the tenure track, and suggest reforms to help support parents throughout their careers. Insights from their original survey data and poignant vignettes from scholars across disciplines make it clear that universities lack understanding, uniform policies, and flexibility for family formation, hurting the career development of parent-scholars. Each chapter includes recommendations for best practices and policy changes that will help make academia an exemplar of progressive family-leave policies. Topics covered include pregnancy, adoption, miscarriage and infant loss, postpartum depression, family leave, breastfeeding, daily parenting challenges, the tenure clock, and more. The book concludes with advice to new or soon-to-be parents to help them better navigate parenthood in academia. The PhD Parenthood Trap provides scholars, academic mentors, and university administrators with empirical evidence and steps to break down personal and structural barriers between parenthood and scholarly careers.

Lianne Castelino of Where Parents Talk speaks to Kim Bourne MacGregor, mom of three, former corporate executive and current global health and wellness professional about why she decided to become an entrepreneur and how balances work and family.

23 - Wie findet man die eigene Balance? Ein Interview mit Anita Neumann von Elternbusiness Anita Neumann, ist Gründerin, Coach, Mentorin, wenn es um das Thema Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Job geht. Sie hat selbst die Erfahrung gemacht, wie es ist die Rollen der Führungskraft und Mutter unter einen Hut zu bekommen, welche Faktoren dabei Druck erzeugen und was ihr geholfen hat ihre Work-Family-Balance zu finden. In unserem Gespräch haben wir über ihren Weg gesprochen und in wieweit auch strukturelle und gesellschaftliche Einflüsse vor allem die Rolle als Frau und Mutter mitprägen. Wir haben darüber gesprochen wie wichtig Selbstfürsorge ist und wie wir es schaffen Grenzen zu setzen und für uns und unsere Bedürfnisse einzustehen. Anita spricht auch über das männliche und weibliche Prinzip in uns und innerhalb einer Gesellschaft und wie wir es schaffen können, da wieder ins Gleichgewicht zu kommen. Das Gespräch mit Anita war sehr inspirierend für mich und ich konnte viele gute Erkenntnisse für mich mitnehmen. Genau das gleiche wünsche ich dir auch!

It was a thrill to interview Rebecca. I have been a big fan of her massive brand for years. It was awesome to have the chance to get inside her brain and understand what inspired her to go big for her dream when the odds were against her. Plus learning how she has pivoted her brand to focusing sales online during COVID and ended up having one of the brands most successful years was so inspiring. Instead of feeling defeated with the global shutdown due to corona virus and the impact that had on her business, she charted a new course where she could thrive in this new normal. That’s what really stands out to me about Rebecca. She is a trailblazer. She doesn’t wait or want everything to be perfect, she makes good with all the resources she has and then works her ass off and hires an exceptional team to execute her vision. I love that she believes so much in the team mentality. She knows she can’t do it all; she shared with me about what she looks for when she hires an employee and then how she trusts them to do their job. We also talked about how motherhood has changed her outlook on work and what inspired her to launch her SUPERWOMAN podcast featuring some of the most inspiring women from Katie Couric to Maria Sharapova.

[accordion] [accordion-item title="Click here to read the full transcript"] Jen 00:02 Hi, I am Jen and I host the Your Parenting Mojo podcast where I critically examine strategies and tools related to parenting and child development that are grounded in scientific research and principles of respectful parenting. In this series of episodes called Sharing Your Parenting Mojo, we turn the tables and hear from listeners. What have they learned from the show that is helped their parenting? Where are they still struggling? And what tools can we find in the research that will help? If you'd like to be notified when new episodes are released and get a FREE Guide To 7 Parenting Myths We Can Safely Leave Behind 7 Fewer Things To Worry About, subscribe to the show at yourparentingmojo.com. You can also continue the conversation about the show with other listeners in the Your Parenting Mojo Facebook group. I do hope you will join us.   Jen 00:59 Hello and welcome to the Your Parenting Mojo podcast. Regular listeners might remember that a few months ago we talked with listener Kelly and Dr. Moira Mikolajczak on the topic of parental burnout. And we discussed how parental burnout is a constellation of symptoms that can include mental and physical exhaustion and emotional distancing from children, loss of feelings of being effective as a parent. And it can lead to an assortment of risks for both the parent and the child including shame and loneliness and the risk of neglect of the child or violence towards the child. And the feeling that the situation can only be escaped through divorce or abandonment or suicide. And we talked about how one of the big causes of parental burnout is the unrealistic expectations that we put on mothers to somehow sacrifice everything for their child, and also lead a fulfilling life for themselves. In the show notes, I gave a link to an assessment the Dr. Mikolajczak and her colleagues developed to help you figure out whether you might have burnout because it might not be as obvious as you think. And after the interview, I emailed with her and we discussed how powerful self-compassion can be as a tool to deal with burnout.   More recently, I was listening to a podcast that I really enjoy called Psychologists Off the Clock which features four psychologists discussing the principles that they use in their clinical work, and how they can help the rest of us to flourish in our work and our parenting and our relationships as well. And one of the hosts is Dr. Yael Schonbrun, and she is here with us today. Dr. Schonbrun Brown is a licensed clinical psychologist with a private practice. She is also an assistant professor at Brown University. And she is writing a book on the topic of work-family conflict, which can be an important precursor to parental burnout, which is how these topics are connected. So I got to chatting with her about this by email and I realized that not only are a large proportion of my listeners, working parents, but the ideas that she's thinking about are actually applicable to anyone who feels tension between their family and some other aspect of their life. So, she is going to talk us through this and also give us some new tools to deal with the days when our lives just seem a little bit out of control. So welcome, Dr. Schonbrun.   Dr. Schonbrun 03:00 Thank you so much Jen for having me. And I just want to take a quick moment to compliment your podcast, which is awesome. I love that you integrate data and compassion for parents and the work that you put out there is amazing. I am really honored to be a part of it.   Jen 03:11 Oh, thank you. It is great to have you here. So, I am always the first to admit, as far as working parenthood goes, I have it pretty easy. Even when I had a day job, I worked from home and so I never had that struggle of the commute time and the physical rushing from one place...

In this episode, Bev & Heather from Bitches Be Brave, dive deep into the spoken and unspoken struggles working moms go through day to day. We talk about whether or not we can really achieve, so called "balance" between work life and family life. Bev and Heather give us their tried and true methods that help them stay sane through the craziness of life. There is no sugar coating in this episode, it's raw, fun and uplifting.

Our guidance on using getting up early as a strategy for increasing work/family balance.

Working moms, this one is for you. Do you find yourself in a new normal with the stay at home order? Are you struggling to get the same volume of work done that you did before? Do you need some new ideas to stay focused or motivated? In this week's episode Alex and Krista discuss how quarantine has impacted the working mom. They discuss the value of limitations, the pressure of expectations, and what it might look like to pivot in our thinking and in our schedule. This is a continually evolving and changing topic - the home / work balance. Let's work it out together!

This guidance describes the fundamental error in trying to achieve "Work-Family Balance" and how to solve it forever.

Michael Kaplan on Work Family Balance, Entrepreneurship in Law, and traveling the world with 4 kids This episode is with Michael Kaplan, founding partner at Kaplan/Morrel Law firm. Mike is an accomplished workers compensation attourney, successful entrepreneur, husband and father of 4. He is also my cousin and biggest mentor. Mike has been my “big brother” my entire life, he knows me better than anyone. Michael and I discuss work family balance, stepping out on your own, leadership, and how bullying has shaped him as well as his parenting style. We prepped for this interview with a game of ping pong in my garage, which has been a lifelong rivalry for us. I loved this interview, and can't wait to share it. So without further adoe, Michael Kaplan. Michael Kaplan, his wife Ann, and four children Mike's Daily Affirmation: There is only one success - “To be able to spend your life in your own way.” “I CAN. I WILL."   Advice for the stressed achiever:   You have to create the meaning that allow you to enjoy every aspect of what your doing.  You have to bring that enjoyment to the table if it's not there.  You have to bring the laughter, you have to bring the joy, you have to bring the harmony, you have to bring the fun; you have to bring all these things to the table.   Understand that life is about the journey, not the achievement.  Life is about happily achieving, not achieving to be happy.  Remove the stress from the achievement: keep the intensity, remove the stress.  “Do” with gratitude, joy, and happiness.  Enjoy the process.  You can keep the intensity, thats great, but you must let go of the stress.   SHOW NOTES: http://kaplanmorrell.com   Click Here for all MindMill Episodes   If you enjoy The MindMill Podcast, please subscribe to our show on your favorite podcast platform or share us on social media!  Any MindMill love goes a long way!

Although there is still a gender division of labor in post-industrial countries, evidence seems to suggest that there is a growing number of fathers that want to be more involved with their children. Using a Time Use Survey, this seminar analyzes how paternal time devoted to children under 10 years old differs across educational level, income, age, number of paid working hours, occupation, and partner’s occupation, among other independent variables. Understanding patterns of fathers, who are more involved with their children, will presumably give some clues on how to promote gender equality in parenting. Furthermore, while research shows that fatherhood involvement is positively related with child outcomes and gender equality, less is known about the benefits of having both work and family roles for working fathers themselves and their jobs. Using the conceptual framework of work-family enrichment, Marc Grau-Grau explores how resources developed at home are positively transferred and applied at work.
