If Business Is
Breaking Your Life,
You’re Doing It Wrong

If Business Is Breaking Your Life,
You’re Doing It Wrong

You might not like this, and you might need to rethink your business heroes. 

If your business is leaving you burnt out, disconnected from your family, and living in a fog of guilt and exhaustion…

Then it’s time we had an honest conversation because business isn’t supposed to break your life. And if it is?

✨ You’re doing it wrong. ✨

You’re Not Here to Build a Breakdown

Too many women are being sold the lie that success requires sacrifice. If you want to grow a six- or seven-figure business, you’ve got to give up your marriage, miss the magic of your kids growing up, and run your health into the ground in the process.

Nope. Not here. Not in The Moxie Movement.

I once built a business like that. And it damn near cost me everything - my marriage, my daughter, my peace.
What I know now - and what I want to pass to you - is this:

🎯 Business success should support your life, not steamroll it.

Your business should give you space to pick the kids up from school, enjoy a Sunday with no agenda, and laugh with your partner over dinner (instead of just collapsing next to them in silence after another 14-hour day).

What’s the Real Cost of How You’re Working?

I want you to be radically honest for a moment about where you are.

If you keep repeating the last 4 weeks of your life…
 ❌ Where will your marriage be in 12 months?
 ❌ What will your health look like?
 ❌ Will your kids still run to greet you - or will they get used to you always being “busy”?

It doesn’t have to be this way.

But here’s the catch: if you want all three - a business that thrives, a partnership that’s intimate, and a parenting relationship that’s present - you can’t do it all. You need a business built for your life, not squeezed around the edges of it.

Stop Waiting for "Someday" - Do It Differently Now

Let’s Make This Real for You

Your Next Step: Build Your MumLife-Aligned Business

The idea that you'll fix everything one day - when the kids grow up, when the launch is over, when you finally hit that magical income goal - is a lie that keeps you stuck.

I see you. You’ve got goals. Big, brilliant, world-shifting goals.

But if getting there means losing yourself, your people, or your peace? That’s not success. That’s survival inside the social norms.

You deserve to build a business that lets you be fully present in your parenting, deeply connected in your partnership, and wildly ambitious in your impact.

Yes. All three. At once.

In this season of life, whether you're juggling toddlers or navigating teenage sass (been there, beginning the sass years), Your business needs to align with your actual, lived reality.

That might mean:

  • A school-hours workweek (done by 3pm!)
  • No work during school holidays
  • Sundays off, completely tech-free
  • Or simply permission to slow the hell down and rest without guilt

It’s different for every woman. That’s the magic - and the power - of designing it around you.
Ready to stop building a business that steals your joy?
