023. How To Manage Motherhood And Owning A Business With Lindsey Raikes

This week on The 4Ms (# 023 ), I teamed up with Lindsey Raikes & we’re talking all about motherhood, what the heck to make for dinner, and owning a business.

In this episode (# 023), we discussed how to manage your time as a busy working mom, meal prep, taking care of ourselves, and how owning a business translated to motherhood + the systems and structures Lindsey has in place.

Lindsey starts off by telling me about how she lives by her Outlook calendar! She tells me all appointments, meetings, activities both business and personal go on it. She references at the end of the week for the following week so she can set a game plan going into the week. Even though she has a schedule, life happens and being flexible is important to her. She tries to always keep that in mind. Once she picks up her littles she's offline until they go to bed.

She shares with us her meal prep tips including keeping a "meal starter" items on hand. This of course includes Raikes Beef Co. prepared proteins like pulled beef, chopped brisket and chicken along with soups. They are homemade without added preservatives. A few other staples include cauliflower gnocchi, frozen brown rice and frozen cauliflower rice.

She makes sure to carve out time for herself by getting a pedicure or taking an essential oil Epsom salt bath once her littles go to bed. She feels like something as simple as taking her daily vitamins to keep her healthy can feel like self-care, too. Since the start of COVID she started showering at night, and founds he was saving a lot of time in the morning. Her nightly shower has  become her “me” time. She notes that we all know mornings with littles are chaotic, and this has really helped her!

Her favorite recipe is Korean Ground Beef with cauliflower rice.
Her favorite book is "Where'd you go Bearnadette?"
Her favorite mindfulness activity is taking an Epsom salt bath.
