The Productivity Myths Keeping You Stressed

Marketing Like a Mother

Are you exhausted from trying to do it all and feeling like it’s never enough? In this episode of Marketing Like a Mother, Olivia sits down with Valerie Recore, founder of Stride Productivity, to bust some serious myths about productivity and mom life.

Valerie calls out the societal pressures that make moms think they have to be superheroes and explains how to reclaim your time, set boundaries, and share the mental load. From practical tips to real-life stories, this episode will leave you feeling seen and ready to make real changes.

Key Takeaways:

* You Can’t Do It All: Accept that it’s literally impossible to do everything…and that’s okay. The goal is to do what matters.

* Ban the Busy Badge: Being busy doesn’t make you more successful or valuable. Let’s ditch that particular badge of honor, shall we?

* Shared Responsibility: There’s a big difference between asking for help and sharing the load—learn how to make sure it’s not all on you.

* Reminders Save Lives: Automate reminders so you can free up mental space and stop worrying about what you might be forgetting.

* Body Doubling for the Win: Sometimes, just having someone sit with you while you fold laundry or work makes the task easier.
