Solo 1: Mastering Time Management - Productivity Hacks for Mom Entrepreneurs
04/21/25 • 16 min
Time management isn't just another business skill—it's the cornerstone of thriving as a mom entrepreneur. Drawing from my experience juggling four children, multiple businesses, and the ever-present quest for personal fulfillment, this episode delivers actionable strategies to reclaim control of your schedule.
The game-changing approach we explore isn't about cramming more into each day. Instead, it's about strategic time-blocking that aligns with your natural rhythms and priorities. I share my personal framework: reserving Mondays and Fridays for family and self-care, while dedicating mid-week days to content creation, client work, and team management. This simple shift transforms scattered productivity into purposeful progress.
The MIT Rule (Most Important Tasks) revolutionizes how you approach each day by identifying just three high-impact priorities that deserve your undivided attention. Combined with the Pomodoro Technique and strategic delegation, these methods create breathing room in even the most chaotic schedule. I've helped countless women implement these systems, and the universal response is always: "Why didn't I start this years ago?"
Perhaps most importantly, we tackle the challenging skill of saying "no" without guilt—arguably the most underrated productivity hack for overwhelmed entrepreneurs. Remember that protecting your time isn't selfish; it's essential to showing up fully for what matters most. Which of these strategies will you implement first? Screenshot this episode, share it on Instagram, and tag me @camillewalkerco so I can cheer you on as you take back control of your time!

243: Gili Guise: A Mom's Journey to Create a Sustainable Fashion Brand
When you're the parent of growing children, finding pants that actually fit can feel like an impossible quest. One week they fit perfectly, and the next your child's ankles are suddenly exposed while the waist is swimming. It's a universal parenting frustration that Lauren, founder of Gili Guise, experienced firsthand with her tall, texture-sensitive son.
"I needed something that could get on and off easily, that could adjust with boys as they grow, whether they're tall and lanky or they're a little bit thicker," Lauren explains. After countless shopping trips ending in unworn clothes and wasted money, she took matters into her own hands. Drawing on her determination rather than fashion experience, Lauren designed pants that could extend in both length and waist, starting with a reasonably sized waistband instead of the oversized ones typical in adjustable children's clothing.
The name Gili Guise represents the entire family behind the brand—Greg (G), Indy (I), Lauren (L), and Ireland (I)—reflecting how deeply integrated family is in every aspect of the business. Lauren's children don't just model the clothes; they're actively involved in the design process, offering opinions on colors and patterns. This family-first approach has created clothing that truly works for kids, from the soft, durable denim to the tag-free construction that won't irritate sensitive skin.
Beyond creating practical children's clothing, Lauren has built a brand that empowers mothers to pursue their passions while still prioritizing family. She navigates the delicate balance of entrepreneurship and motherhood by working early mornings, during school hours, and late evenings, always ready to put down her work when her children need attention. "I want my daughter to know that there's opportunity for women to do whatever they want if they have the passion and drive to do it," she shares. Visit giliguise.com to discover clothing that grows with your child and supports a mom-founded business reimagining what children's fashion can be.

244: Crafting a Cohesive Marketing Narrative for Social Media and Email
Marketing doesn't have to be a mystery, especially for busy moms building businesses. Sasha Fidenchuk pulls back the curtain on what actually works, sharing insights from her remarkable journey from corporate executive to successful entrepreneur and mother of two.
After building a six-figure spray tan business in just six months, then pivoting during the pandemic, Sasha discovered her true calling: helping other entrepreneurs achieve real growth through strategic marketing. Now as co-founder of Daring House with her husband, she's on a mission to bring big business strategies to small business owners who are changing the world.
Forget pretty logos and websites—they're not enough. The true power lies in understanding your customer data and creating marketing that resonates across channels. Sasha reveals the email marketing secrets that consistently generate 8-12x returns for her clients, including how to craft subject lines that spark curiosity and leverage social proof for maximum conversions. Her approach treats marketing not as isolated tactics but as an interconnected ecosystem that builds relationships before sales.
Beyond business strategy, Sasha offers a refreshing perspective on balancing motherhood and ambition. Like the ocean constantly shifting from tumultuous waves to serene stillness, women can embody fierce leadership and nurturing tenderness within minutes. This duality isn't a weakness but our superpower as entrepreneurial mothers.
Whether you're just starting your business journey or looking to level up your marketing approach, this conversation delivers actionable insights while affirming that you don't have to choose between success and presence with your family. You truly can have both—sometimes within the same five minutes!
