Episode Description
Feeling like your hair is constantly on fire? Homeschooling mom, business owner, or both—if you're tired of ending each day wondering what you actually accomplished, this episode is your lifeline.
Join host Anna McLaughlin as she sits down with Kelly Leardon, founder of Walk Like Warriors and certified Director of Operations, for a transformative conversation about trading chaos for clarity. Kelly shares her journey from being a chronically overwhelmed homeschool mom who couldn't hit a single time block on her color-coded schedule to becoming a time management expert who helps women master their days without losing their minds.
Whether you're drowning in to-do lists, struggling with guilt over working while raising kids, or just desperate for a system that actually fits your life, Kelly's practical wisdom and Anna's heartfelt encouragement will meet you right where you are.
