Ep. 23 - How to Plan Your Week Like a CEO (Even When You’re a Mom With Zero Free Time)
Tue Oct 07 2025
If you’ve been Googling “how to plan my week as a mom entrepreneur” or asking yourself “why can’t I ever seem to stick to my schedule?” — this episode is for you.
Most moms don’t need more time — they need a better way to use the time they already have. In this episode, Danielle breaks down how to plan your week like a CEO — even when you have zero free time, unpredictable days, and a mental load the size of an Amazon warehouse.
You’ll learn: ✨ Why traditional time blocking doesn’t work for moms (and what to do instead) ✨ How to plan your week around your energy, not just your hours ✨ The #1 mindset shift that makes your schedule finally stick ✨ How to finally feel in control of your week — not behind it
By the end, you’ll have a simple structure that bends when life does — so you can finally stop reacting to your week and start directing it.
🧭 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1️⃣ Time-blocking systems weren’t built for the mental load of motherhood — flexible focus zones work better. 2️⃣ When you plan your week around your energy patterns, productivity feels easier and more sustainable. 3️⃣ You don’t need more hours — you need a better strategy for using the ones you already have. 4️⃣ Clarity creates calm. Structure creates freedom.
