49. How to Get 3 Hours Back a Day as a Working Mum (Without Burning Out) with Alyssa Wolff

Today’s episode is especially for the busy mums who are doing the absolute most — raising kids, keeping a household running, and trying to hold onto their identity, energy, and sanity at the same time.In this conversation, Jasmine sits down with Alyssa Wolff from Your Unbusy Life — a woman who went from stay-at-home mum to online entrepreneur in 2020, and now supports overwhelmed work-from-home mums who feel like they’re constantly “on.” Alyssa is all about ditching burnout, building simple systems, and doing it in a way that actually supports your nervous system, not just your to-do list.Alyssa shares her personal turning point — raising five kids and realising something most mums never get to experience: she wasn’t living in constant frazzle. It wasn’t because she had more discipline or more motivation… it was because she had a different way of designing her days. And that’s what she teaches now: how to “unbusy” your life, not by doing more, but by removing what was never truly required.We talk about what so many high-achieving mums silently carry: the mental load, the pressure to be everything to everyone, and the invisible expectations that make you feel guilty for resting — even when you’re exhausted. Alyssa explains why her method doesn’t start with “add self-care to your schedule” (because that just becomes another chore). Instead, it starts with reclaiming space by delegating, simplifying, and deleting the things that drain you most — so you can finally breathe again.One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is Alyssa’s approach to getting your time back: she teaches mums how to create around three hours a day of real ‘me time’ (that’s about 20 hours a week) by working through three key areas: scheduling, mindset, and delegation. Not in a rigid, perfectionistic way — but in a way that’s flexible enough for real mum life, including sick kids, unexpected curveballs, and days where nothing goes to plan.We also unpack what holds mums back from making changes even when they know they need to: the boundary guilt, the “I should be able to do it all” story, and the discomfort that can come with asking for help — whether that help comes from your partner, outsourcing, or even teaching your kids age-appropriate life skills. Alyssa reframes delegation in a way that feels empowering, not shamey — because you’re not failing at motherhood by sharing the load. You’re modelling what a regulated, supported adult looks like.And if you’ve ever felt like you don’t have time to fix your life because you’re too busy keeping everything together, Alyssa explains how she works differently: she uses a done-for-you process designed specifically for mums who don’t need another course, another list, or another thing to “stay on top of.” She helps you create routines that work in real life — including what to do when your schedule gets smashed by a sick kid, a missed bus, or a day that just goes sideways. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is calm.This episode is for you if you’ve been feeling frazzled, resentful, overstimulated, burnt out, or like you’re living in constant catch-up. You’ll walk away with practical shifts you can make immediately, and a mindset reset that reminds you: you’re allowed to make life easier. You’re allowed to stop carrying everything. And you’re allowed to create a routine that supports you, too.Connect with Alyssa (Your Unbusy Life)Website: https://yourunbusylife.comPodcast: The Unbusy MomLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/alyssa-wolff-unbusyConnect with JasmineInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasminelisciottoofficialPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifebizandallthatjazzTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifebizandallthatjazzYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JasmineLisciottoIf this episode helped you, please hit follow/subscribe and share it with a mum who needs to hear it.
