Not That Kind of CEO - Business for Mompreneurs

Staying Consistent Online Starts With This One Question

You keep disappearing online and you tell yourself it's because life got in the way. A fall, a crazy week, the kids. And sometimes that's true. But if I'm being honest with you, and with myself? That's not what's really happening. I've spent two years stopping and starting with my content. Two years of sitting down, freezing up, and walking away. And I kept telling myself I just didn't know what to say. But somewhere in this episode, I finally admitted what was actually going on, and the next day I did something I hadn't done in two years. If you're a mompreneur who feels overwhelmed by the social media circus, and who keeps falling off the consistency wagon and blaming your schedule, stay with me on this one.

One Comment Is Ruining Your Whole Day, and This Is Why

You read one comment online and suddenly it's pinned to your shirt for the rest of the day. Every quiet moment, there it is again. I've been there. And what I found out is that this has very little to do with how strong you are mentally and everything to do with how depleted you already were before you even opened your phone. Sleep deprived, chronically overstimulated, running on a mental load that never really stops; your brain is already working overtime just to function. And then someone on the internet has an opinion. In this episode, I get into why that hits so much harder than it should, what's actually happening in your body when it does, and what I personally started asking myself to stop handing my power over to people who honestly don't even want it. If fear of being judged online is keeping you from showing up the way you want to: this one's for you. FOLLOW AYLA: ⁠@ayladenhartog⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/ayladenhartog/]

Two Words That Actually Move You Forward as an Overwhelmed Mompreneur

If you're an overwhelmed mompreneur, there's a good chance the way you're talking to yourself is making everything harder, and you don't even know it yet. I'm not talking about toxic positivity or journaling prompts. I'm talking about two specific words that are running your whole relationship with your business, your to-do list, and whether you actually take action or just spin. I found the first one through a podcast I was listening to. I started using it, changed it a little, and it completely shifted something for me. The second one came from a compliment a friend gave me while I was working in her garden, and the thought it sparked stopped me cold. In this episode, I'm walking you through both. They're small. They're fast. And once you hear them, you won't be able to unhear them. Press play. FOLLOW AYLA: ⁠@ayladenhartog⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/ayladenhartog/]

Why the Overwhelmed Mompreneur Keeps Buying Courses and Finishing None of Them

You bought the course. Again. Maybe you didn't even open it. And now there's that voice, again. The one calling you lazy, unmotivated, a bad entrepreneur who just can't follow through. I've been there. And I want you to hear this: it's not about you not having enough time, and it's not about the course being bad. There's something else going on, and as an overwhelmed mompreneur trying to hold everything together, you've probably been missing it every single time. In this episode, I'm getting into why so many of us as mompreneurs end up in this exhausting loop; buying, not finishing, blaming ourselves, and then buying again. I talk about the mismatch that's actually happening between external strategies and where you truly are right now, and I walk you through the questions you need to ask before you ever click "enroll" again. Because mompreneur burnout doesn't always look like falling apart. Sometimes it looks like a folder full of courses you swore you'd start next week. Press play if you're ready to stop feeling guilty about it.

The Overthinking Loop That's Killing Your Business Growth, Mompreneur

You know what you need to do. You've known for a while. But somehow you're still sitting on that post, that offer, that thing you've been tweaking forever; because it's not quite there yet. If you're an overwhelmed mompreneur who keeps measuring everything against brands that have full teams and years on you, this episode is going to feel uncomfortably familiar. I'm talking about the mistake I see over and over again; the one that looks like perfectionism but is actually just overthinking dressed up as standards. There's a version of your business that lives in your head. The one that's polished, consistent, converting. And then there's what you're actually putting out there, which somehow never feels close enough to post, to launch, to send. In this episode, I get into the mistake I see mompreneurs make all the time. The one that looks completely reasonable on the surface. The one that keeps us busy, keeps us refining, keeps us feeling productive, while the business stays exactly where it is. I also share what I do about it, and what my six-year-old taught me about taking action before it looks good. Hit play when you're ready to get out of your head and back into your business.
