05 | Can’t Get It All Done?! Do THIS to Communicate with Your Husband to Share the Load

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to divide some of the load that falls on us as moms to share that responsibility with our spouse. How to communicate and get on the same page in managing your home and family, systems to break old pitfalls that you KEEP falling into, and how to even start the conversation. I know that you are struggling to get it all done and honestly just feel like most days, you’re adding more items on to the to do list than actually checking any off. Balancing motherhood, homemaking, and business is HARD, but then you add extra busy seasons or circumstances out of your control and it just feels like too much. You want to partner with your husband to really become a team in managing it all, but you don't know where to start. You know that your husband WANTS to help, but you’re getting stuck in the same old cycle of having too much on your plate, getting to your breaking point and telling your husband you just need help, and then feeling so frustrated time and time again when he isn’t doing ANYTHING that you asked him to help with. Except that more than likely, you probably haven’t actually vocalized ANY specific things you need help with, you just word vomited all your stress and overwhelm and expected him to know exactly how to step in and help and save the day. Spoiler alert: this was me for so many years and welp, husbands aren’t mind readers. They just aren’t. I’m going to share the communication strategies that we’ve learned by much trial and error in the past 9 years of our marriage that has completely TRANSFORMED this cycle and allowed us to really healthily share the workload and expectations in our marriage, especially in really busy or stressful seasons. I pray that this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Are you constantly trying out new daily routines that have you juggling house chores and cramming in work during nap times? Do you feel guilty when your kiddos invite you to play, but by the time you’ve told them ’just a minute,’ ’hang on,’ or ’let me finish this’, the day has slipped away with no intentional focused time together at all?

This podcast will help you create simple systems, daily routines, and time management strategies to feel more productive in your days so you can balance running a home AND being fully present for your kiddos. Hey, I’m KyAnn. A mom, wife, and Jesus lover. For too many years, I let my habits just sort of happen without much intention or thought. I felt constantly behind and I was trying to do it all, but doing NONE of it well. I was chasing business success, achievements, and hustle culture that stole my time and mental health so I didn’t have any extra energy to devote to building intentional habits that kept my priorities in the RIGHT order. I finally realized that if I was going to balance motherhood and homemaking well, I had to find simple routines and systems to serve me in the season I was in. I created daily rhythms for our family that reflected my priorities and helped me tackle my to-do list, all while allowing me to be fully present with my kiddos - simple systems that when practiced well, even allowed extra time to work on my business during the cracks of time during the day. And now I’m ready to share it all with you! If you are ready to finally find a routine that works for you…steps to feel more balanced and less overwhelmed in your days as a busy mom…systems that give you your time back, help you to be more present with the people you love most, and finally get your brain to just RELAX-this podcast is for you! Pop in your single AirPod (mom friends, you know you do this, too!), grab your iced coffee, it’s time to find your rhythm!
