🎙Hey friends! Welcome to the Time for Living podcast, where we chat about how to be more intentional with our precious time so we can pursue our online business dreams while still having time to live our one truly amazing life.
Do these common struggles resonate with you?
Do you have an amazing business idea but can’t find the time to get your online business off the ground?
Are you overwhelmed with ideas, struggling to organize them, and feeling like nothing gets done?
Are you dreaming of a day when ’busy’ isn’t your default mode and you achieve everything you set out to?
Do you feel the squeeze between family demands and personal aspirations?
Are you juggling a million things and wondering when ’me time’ became a luxury?
I’ve been there too – feeling overwhelmed and burnt out, with constant low energy, wishing for more hours in the day, and feeling like life was passing me by. Then, I discovered the magic of being intentional with my most important resource: time. By finding balance in all areas of my life, I was able to carve out the time to start and build a thriving side hustle. The weight lifted off my shoulders, and this holistic approach rippled into every area of my life. Every intentional decision as an entrepreneur increased my productivity and propelled me towards my life goals and dreams with an energy and drive like never before.
I’m your host, Lucy Clarke – a devoted boy mom, dedicated business owner, and time finder. I created the Time for Living podcast for you because I want you to have the time freedom to build your online business and still make time for what truly matters. Together, we’ll uncover your purpose, goals, and true values, aligning them with your business ideas. We’ll swap time draining activities for time-efficient habits and routines that that will get your business ideas generating income.
We’ll dive into everything from finding clarity to creating a success mindset and consistent habits that enrich your life and bank account. We’ll examine how you currently use your time and create action plans for how you want to spend it in the future. Expect transformative insights, actionable steps, lasting changes, and a community cheering you on.

You protected your one habit on Day 1. You showed up. You did the thing. So why does it feel like you're still drowning? Here's what nobody tells you about building habits as a mom entrepreneur: protecting 15 minutes doesn't solve the problem if the other 23 hours and 45 minutes are complete chaos.
This episode is for mom entrepreneurs who are tired of starting over every Monday, wondering why their habits keep falling apart when real life shows up. If you've been protecting your one anchor habit but still feel scattered, overwhelmed, and like nothing's actually moving forward—this is the missing piece you need.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why your Day 1 matters more than you think (whether it went perfectly or was a complete disaster)
The real reason isolated habits collapse during December chaos, sick kids, and business launches—and it's not about your discipline
What the "23 hours and 45 minutes problem" reveals about sustainable habit-building for mom entrepreneurs
The two systems every habit needs to survive long-term: a Home Hub (infrastructure for your life) and a Business Engine (strategic clarity for your business)
How to identify exactly where you need systems by tracking what's actually breaking in your day
The specific homework that will set you up for the complete system-building workshop coming later this month

Your habit needs a home. Your habit needs fuel. And you're about to build both.
Everywhere you look, people are talking about starting strong on January 1st. But here's what I've discovered after years of building my business as a mom: the most successful mom entrepreneurs I know don't start on January 1st. They start strategically when routine returns—and that changes everything.
If you're a mom entrepreneur who's been feeling guilty about not having your January 1st plan ready, or anxious that you're already behind before the year even starts, this episode is your permission slip. Because when you're building a business around family life, January 1st isn't your fresh start—it's still precious family time. And trying to force business momentum when your kids are home and routine hasn't returned? That's not strategy. That's exhaustion.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why starting on January 1st when your kids are still home actually sets you up to feel behind instead of building real momentum
The strategic reason successful mom entrepreneurs wait until January 5th (when routine returns) to start their business habits
How to enjoy the last days of the holidays guilt-free without feeling like you're failing at your business goals
The one decision you need to make between now and January 5th that will set up your entire first quarter
Why choosing one 15-minute habit on January 5th is more powerful than ten goals on January 1st
How to shift from "I'm already behind" to "I'm being strategic" so you start from a place of power, not deficit
Ready to take action? Between now and January 5th, think about your one thing—the one habit you'll start when routine returns. And if you need help finding where you even have 15 minutes in your schedule, grab my free Hidden Time Finder at timeforliving.com/hiddentimefinder. It'll help you identify exactly where you have pockets of time you didn't even realize were there.

You're not behind. You're being strategic. And that's the mark of a smart entrepreneur.
You know that feeling when everyone's talking about crushing Q4 and hitting the ground running in January, and you're just trying to make it through December without completely losing yourself?
This episode is for the mom entrepreneur who's tired of the hustle narrative and ready for some honest reflection before the calendar flips. Because end-of-year reflection doesn't have to be a productivity exercise, sometimes it's just about being truthful with yourself about where you are and where you're going.
In this episode, you'll discover:
The three honest questions Lucy asked herself in early November that led to surprising revelations about her business and life
Why reflection done early (before you're exhausted) creates clearer insights than waiting until January 1st when you're running on fumes
How to identify what you want to feel LESS of in 2026, not just what you want to do differently
The uncomfortable truth about what actually worked this year that you might be afraid to admit (and why admitting it matters)
Why "doing less" and "resting more" might not be compromises but actually your most strategic moves forward
What you're pretending not to know about your business growth, visibility, or next steps and how to finally face it
Permission to do your own reflection on your timeline, not when the calendar tells you to

You don't need a plan before 2026 starts, you just need honest awareness about where you actually are.
Everywhere you look right now, the message is clear: use December to prep for January. Plan your launches. Set up your systems. Get ahead. But what if the most strategic thing you could do right now is close your laptop and actually be present for the next two weeks?
This episode is for mom entrepreneurs who are feeling the pressure to hustle through the holidays while simultaneously trying to create magical family moments. If you're torn between business prep and being fully present with your kids, this conversation will give you the permission you didn't know you needed.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why choosing presence over January prep isn't lazy—it's actually the most aligned choice you can make as a mom entrepreneur
The real cost of trying to plan your Q1 strategy while your kids are literally asking you to bake cookies with them
What to do if you haven't done your January planning yet (hint: now might not be the time)
How to handle the guilt when you see other business owners posting about their 2026 launches
Why "done is better than perfect" matters more in December than any other month
The difference between intentional reflection and frantic preparation

This December with your kids at these exact ages won't come back—January will still be there waiting for you.
You can't maintain everything in December. Nobody can.
Right now you're trying to keep all the plates spinning—your morning routine, business tasks, content creation, client work, holiday events, keeping the house decent, being the magic-maker for your kids. And you're doing everything at about 60%, feeling guilty about all of it.
This episode is for mom entrepreneurs who are drowning in December and need permission to be strategic instead of exhausted. Because there's a smarter way through this month than trying to do it all.
In this episode, you'll discover:
The One Anchor Habit Method: How to choose the single habit that will keep you grounded through December chaos
Why protecting one thing is more powerful than trying to maintain everything and failing at all of it
The real cost of decision fatigue and how menu planning (or your version of it) can buy back hours of mental space
Three specific questions to identify which habit deserves your protection this month
How to let other things slide on purpose without guilt—and why having systems in place the rest of the year makes this possible
The mental shift from "proving yourself" to "sustaining yourself" that changes everything about how you approach this season
Ready to take action? Struggling to figure out what to let slide? Grab my free Hidden Time Finder at timeforliving.co/timefinder to see where your time is actually going so you can make these trade-off decisions more clearly.

December is not the month to prove yourself—it's the month to sustain yourself. Choose your one thing today.
You know what kills January momentum? Starting from zero on January 1st. While everyone else is scrambling to figure out their plan, you're going to be executing yours—because you did the prep work in December.
This episode is for mom entrepreneurs who are tired of the "plan-and-execute-at-the-same-time" disaster that happens every January. If you're building a business in fragmented time, you can't afford to waste those precious first weeks of the year making decisions. You need to hit the ground running.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why January 1st feels so overwhelming (and how to completely eliminate that stress with one simple shift)
The 15-minute reflection that tells you exactly what to keep and what to drop for your next 12 weeks
The 5-task prep checklist that ensures Day 1 is execution-only, no decisions required
How to rest during December without losing all your momentum (the "rest your body, don't rest your vision" strategy)
The quarterly reset system that keeps you on track all year, not just in January
Why you don't actually need to wait for January 1st to start (and when YOUR perfect start date is)

Your next 12 weeks start the moment you decide—prep now, execute later.
You started strong on January 1st. Maybe even January 2nd. But by the 3rd? Life happened. The kid got sick, meetings stacked up, and that 15-minute action you committed to was the first thing to go.
Here's the problem: you're relying on motivation. And motivation is the worst fuel for building a business around family life.
This is Episode 60 in the goal-setting series. If you're just joining, start with Episode 57 where we identified your North Star feeling, then Episode 58 for process goals, and Episode 59 where you broke those goals into quarterly systems. Today, we're making those daily actions automatic so you show up even when you don't feel like it.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why motivation fails mom entrepreneurs (and what actually works instead when you're building in pockets of time)
The ONE Habit Rule that prevents overwhelm and makes consistency inevitable
How to use habit stacking to attach your new habit to something you already do automatically
The visual tracking method that makes breaking your streak psychologically painful (in a good way)
Three specific strategies for keeping habits alive when kids get sick, work explodes, or chaos hits
Your four-question commitment framework to start building your habit tomorrow (not Monday)

You don't need more motivation. You need one habit so automatic you don't have to think about it.
Stop putting your goals on hold until you "figure it all out." In this episode, we're getting real about why even clear process goals feel completely overwhelming when it's time to actually start—and what to do about it.
If you're a mom entrepreneur building a business in pockets of time, this is for you. We're talking about why you don't need more motivation (you have plenty), what you actually need instead, and how to turn any big goal into 15-minute actions you can start tomorrow morning.
By the end of this episode, you'll discover:
Why even clear process goals feel paralyzing without infrastructure—and what infrastructure you actually need to build first
The method for breaking any overwhelming goal into quarterly focuses, monthly building blocks, and daily 15-minute actions
Why 12-week planning cycles work better than annual goals for moms whose lives (and capacity) constantly change around school schedules and family needs
Real examples of breaking down different types of goals—from client outreach to daily movement to content creation
The AI shortcut that maps your entire system in 30 seconds, saving you hours of planning time
Why starting messy beats perfect planning every single time (and permission to adjust as you go)

Your goals don't need perfect conditions or endless time. They need a system that breaks them down so small you can't NOT start. Take the first 15-minute action tomorrow, and three months from now, you'll be so glad you did.
You set a goal in January. Three months later, you felt like a failure—even though you showed up and did the work. Sound familiar?
Here's the truth: you're not failing. You're just measuring the wrong thing.
Most goals focus on outcomes you can't control—revenue numbers, follower counts, pounds lost. When those don't happen on your timeline, you feel defeated. But what if there's a different way?
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why outcome-based goals set you up for disappointment (even when you're doing everything right)
The simple shift that puts you back in control of your success—focusing on process instead of results
The 15-Minute Method: two quick sessions that turn your North Star feeling into goals you actually control
How to create a "minimum viable action" that keeps you consistent even during your worst weeks
Why consistency beats intensity every time (and how to build it into your real life)
This is Week 2 of the five-episode goal-setting series for mom entrepreneurs. You'll walk away with 1-3 process goals that don't depend on perfect circumstances—just your commitment to show up.

What if you're setting goals without knowing what you actually want?
Most people jump straight into goal-setting—pick a number, make a plan, start working. But they skip the most important question: What am I even working toward? Why do I want this? What feeling am I chasing?
This is Part 1 of our 5-part Goal-Setting Series for 2026. This year, we're doing things differently—simpler, clearer, and designed for your actual life.
IN THIS EPISODE:
Why busy moms stop dreaming (and how to start again)
The 15-Minute Dream Session: Three questions that create clarity
The Three Life Buckets framework (simpler than the Wheel of Life)
Filter questions to test if your dreams are actually yours
How to know which dream to start with
This week's action: Answer three questions: What's working? What's missing? One year from now, what would different feel like?
Then write: "One year from now, I want to feel __________."
That's your north star for 2026.

Episode 56: The 15-Minute Framework
FINAL THOUGHT:
What is your north star? "One year from now, I want to feel __________.".
What if those "useless" 15-minute pockets between school drop-off and pickup could actually transform your entire business and life? Most busy moms dismiss these fragments of time as too short to matter. But here's the truth: 15 minutes a day equals 91 hours per year—enough to write a book, launch a course, or build the business you've been putting off.
What You'll Learn
How to turn 15 daily minutes into 91+ hours annually using simple math that will shift your entire perspective on "wasted" time
Why you quit habits in week two (and the exact psychological phase you need to push through to see real results)
The 5-second countdown technique that overrides your brain's resistance and gets you moving before excuses take over
How small actions create identity shifts that make success automatic instead of requiring constant willpower
What to do when your 15-minute habit gets boring (week 2-4 is when champions are made)
By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear 15-minute habit selected, know exactly when you'll do it, and understand why consistency matters more than motivation.
Featured Framework
A systematic approach to building transformative habits in the time pockets busy moms already have, turning scattered minutes into compounding results.

You're building something real in the middle of a very full life—now go get your day back.
Feeling overwhelmed by the endless to-do list that comes with being a working mom and business owner? You're not alone. In this episode, we're tackling one of the biggest challenges my clients face: knowing where to start when everything feels urgent and nothing feels done.
I'm breaking down why "doing the thing" is so much harder than it should be (spoiler: it's not laziness), and sharing the exact two-system approach that helped me reclaim an hour and a half per week just by removing decision fatigue. Whether you're drowning in home chaos or avoiding that one business task you know you need to tackle, this episode will show you how to create systems that work with your life as a working mom, not against it.
By the end of this episode, you'll understand:
Why decision fatigue is draining your energy before you even open your laptop
The two-fold foundation you need to establish before any productivity system will work
How to create a Business Engine and Home Hub that automate your daily decisions
Why systems actually give you more freedom, not less (even if you love chasing shiny objects like me)
The one simple challenge you can implement today to start breaking the overwhelm cycle

Stop putting your business goals on hold until January. In this episode, we're flipping the script on when you should actually start working toward your 2026 vision.

If you're a working mom building a business in the margins of your life, this conversation is for you. We're talking about why waiting for January is costing you more than you think, and how the next 90 days could completely transform how you show up in the new year.
