How to Keep Your Business Running When the Kids Are Home (Without Losing Your Mind)

It's the end of July, which means one thing if you're in the UK... the school summer holidays are here!

And if you're a self-employed parent (like me!), you know exactly what that means: your routine is shot, but your business just doesn't stop.

In this honest solo episode, I break down my realistic approach to surviving the 6 weeks of summer holidays without losing your sanity or letting your business slide.

I'll cover:

• Why you need to be brutally realistic about what's possible
• The 'golden hour' method, and how to find your one protected work hour each day
• Self-systemisation that works 
• Building your support system and the power of 'kid swaps'
• Why communication with your team is non-negotiable
• Making yourself a priority (yes, even during school holidays)
• Dealing with mum guilt and the pressure to be superhuman

"There's no magic pill to make this easier. It's tough. Your business doesn't stop, but your children need you. But here's the thing - if you've built something authentic, it's not going to die overnight in six weeks."

Whether you're dreading the next few weeks (or maybe you're already in the thick of it?), this episode will hopefully offer practical strategies and honest perspective from someone who gets it.

No perfect scenarios, no unrealistic expectations.

This episode is perfect for: self-employed parents and mothers, business owners with kids, and anyone trying to balance family life with business demands during school holidays.
