How to Unbusy Your Life — Even with Five Kids | 014

Curveball: A podcast about possibility

She’s a work-from-home mom of five who homeschools, cooks from scratch – and still runs a business. Her secret? It’s not hustle. It’s strategy.

Alyssa Wolff isn’t here to sell you another hustle story. She’s here to show you how to unbusy your life – even when it’s bursting at the seams.

A homeschooling mom of five (yes, five), Alyssa launched her business with a newborn in tow and never looked back. Her secret? A three-part strategy that keeps her sane: scheduling, delegation, and mindset – in that order.

In this conversation, we talk about why your to-do list is secretly sabotaging you, how to brain-dump your way out of overwhelm, and why moms (and business owners) need to stop cramming their schedules like it’s an overstuffed suitcase.

"Your calendar isn’t your enemy. It’s your best tool for cutting through the shoulds and actually living your life."
