Segment 1: "The Struggle Is Real" (5 minutes)

Bianca: "So let’s start with this: managing time as a creative is already challenging. Add kids to the mix, and suddenly, it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day."

Jerrisa: "Oh, absolutely. I remember when my youngest was a baby. I’d have my laptop on the kitchen counter, trying to finish a project while he clung to my leg. It was chaos. Still feels like chaos at times.”

Bianca: "Right? And the guilt creeps in, too. You’re either feeling bad about working or about not working. But here’s the thing: it’s not about having balance—it’s about having boundaries."

Jerrisa: "Exactly. Today, we’re going to break it down: how to set realistic goals, manage your time, and still show up for your family and your art."

Segment 2: "Time Management Tips for Artist-Moms" (12 minutes)

Bianca: "Okay, let’s dive into the how. First tip: time-blocking. Schedule your creative time just like you would a doctor’s appointment."

Jerrisa: "Yes! I do this every Sunday night. I look at my week, block out studio time, and make sure my husband knows I’m not available during those hours."

Bianca: "That’s a good one. Another tip: embrace micro-moments. If you only have 20 minutes while the baby naps, use it. Sketch, brainstorm, or even just prep for a bigger project."

Jerrisa: "So true. And don’t underestimate delegation. Get your kids involved where you can—like letting them paint alongside you—or outsource tasks, if possible."

Bianca: "Speaking of outsourcing, don’t forget the power of a supportive network. Whether it’s a babysitter, a friend, or your partner, ask for help so you can recharge and create."

Jerrisa: "Oh, and here’s a big one: learn to say no. You can’t take on every project or attend every PTA meeting. Prioritize what aligns with your bigger goals."

Segment 3: "Our Own Journeys" (7 minutes)

Bianca: "Let’s get personal for a sec. For me, it was a game-changer when I realized I didn’t have to do everything perfectly. My art thrives when I’m not burnt out."

Jerrisa: "Same here. I used to think saying ‘no’ was selfish, but now I see it as a way to protect my energy for the things that matter most."

Bianca: "And it’s not just about the work. I’ve found that when I make time for myself, my kids benefit too. They see a mom who’s passionate about her dreams."

Jerrisa: "Exactly. And it’s such a powerful lesson for them. You’re showing them that it’s okay to chase your dreams and make time for family."

Segment 4: "Quick Wins and Resources" (4 minutes)

Bianca: "Before we wrap up, let’s share some quick wins. One: set a timer. Even if it’s just 15 minutes, commit to working on your art. You’ll be surprised how much you can do."

Jerrisa: "Two: create a dedicated workspace. Even if it’s just a corner of your kitchen, having a set space helps you get into the zone faster."

Bianca: "Three: check out tools like Trello or Notion for organizing projects. And if you’re into books, read Essentialism by Greg McKeown—it’s a lifesaver."

Outro (2 minutes)

Jerrisa: "Time management as an artist and mom isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Remember, you’re made for this."

Bianca: "That’s right. Celebrate the little wins, be kind to yourself, and keep creating. Thank you for tuning in!"

Jerrisa: "Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram @MadeForThisPodcast and share your thoughts. We’d love to hear how you balance art and motherhood."
