If you are currently juggling the job of raising little humans while also trying to grow and scale your business… and you're finding it challenging to fit it all in, then this is the podcast for you.

Hosted by Master Certified Coach and Melissa Tiers trained Hypnotist Kirsty Knight, this show delivers the productivity-boosting and time-leveraging strategies, sales and business growth insights, time management tips, and mindset shifts you need to grow and scale a profitable business in school hours or less, without sacrificing time with your kids and without burnout.

Having coached hundreds of women over the past five years, and as a serial entrepreneur and a mum herself, Kirsty knows all too well the time and productivity challenges most mums face. She brings that expertise, along with the revenue, marketing, and business growth strategies she teaches her clients, into this show so you can build a business that actually works around family life.

This podcast is part of Kirsty's wider mission to help 1,000 mums build profitable businesses in school hours or less, proving that women should never have to choose between ambition and the motherhood they want.

No matter what stage of business you are in, and whether you call yourself a mum or a mom, this is the podcast for you if you are an entrepreneur, solopreneur, small business owner, coach, consultant, or an online service provider with a big heart and big ambition.

Because why on earth should women have to choose?

If you're looking for the answers to problems and questions like...

I want a 6-figure business during School Hours Only but I'm struggling to fit it all in.
I want to only be working during School Hours but want to be making more money.
I can't put my baby down for even five minutes. How am I going to get any work done?
I actually had the whole day free, because I had childcare for once, and I wasted the whole day.
Why isn't time-blocking working for me? How can it possibly work for mums?
How am I supposed to work on my business, when my kids are home sick?
How do I overcome my perfectionism? I know it is slowing me down and making me procrastinate.
Why can't I make myself take action? Even when I know what I should be doing, I don't do it.
I feel like I'm not good enough yet to raise my prices but I'm not earning enough and I don't have more hours to work.
I'm snowed under so think I need to hire a VA, but I had a bad experience once and my income also isn't consistent, what should I do?
How can I stop procrastinating?
I think I'm self-sabotaging my business success. What can I do?
I'm worried about my kid at school, which means I can't focus on work.
I feel like I'm always on my phone for my business — and my kids are seeing me on it all the time.
Even when I say I will stop working to play with the kids, I find myself squeezing one more task in.
I always feel behind. Even when I have a productive day, I still feel like I haven't done enough.
I get such bad mum-guilt if I have to work on my business instead of being fully available for my kids.
I am terrible at managing my time.
I waste so much time on my emails and social media, even though I don't have time to waste. How do I stop?
I want to be earning more, but I don't have any more hours to work. What can I do?
I know my work-life balance isn't good. I'm always having to tell my kids no.
I only work when the kids are at school but I am not making the money I want to be making with those hours. What can I do?
I find it so hard to stay motivated and accountable to what I said I would do working for myself.
I hate planning but know that I am more productive when I do. How can I overcome the resistance to planning my week?
I can't stop saying yes, even though I don't have time for it.
There just aren't enough hours in the day. Should I be getting up at 4am? How do other mums juggle it all?
I can't get anything done when the kids are home — they interrupt me constantly.

If you're ready to learn ninja-level skills for managing your business, mind and time, so you can make the money you want in your business whilst still having time with your little ones, this podcast is your next must-listen.

New episodes share practical strategies to help mums increase revenue, reduce working hours, and build profitable businesses around family life.

184 - Building a business with kids -The reality no-one talks about

If you're trying to build a business around nap times, school hours, or limited childcare… this episode is for you. Yesterday, I had to message a paying client and tell her I'd be late to our call — because my baby wouldn't go to sleep. And for a moment, I felt unprofessional. Like I should have it all figured out by now. But here's the truth no one talks about… Building a business as a mum is different. In this episode, I'm breaking down: What it really looks like to run a business with young children Why "perfect professionalism" is an outdated standard for mums and why we need compassionate clients to understand our challenges Why waiting until your kids are older might be holding you back How to grow a profitable business in school hours or less If you've ever felt torn between your ambition and your children… If you've ever wondered whether it's even possible to do both… If you've ever felt like you're falling behind because you don't have enough time… This episode will remind you: You're not behind. You're just building differently. And that doesn't make you less capable — it makes you resourceful.

183 - Don't Let One Bad Day Turn Into Two: Resetting Momentum in Your Business

Have you ever had one of those days in your business where you just… don't feel it? The motivation isn't there. Your productivity drops. Messages pile up. Your engagement slows down. In this episode of School Hours or Less, I'm sharing one of the most important business habits I've learned as a coach helping mums in business grow profitable businesses while working school hours only. Because the problem isn't having an off day. The real problem is when one low-productivity day turns into two… then a week… then a month of lost momentum. In this episode I talk about: • Why ups and downs in motivation are completely normal when running a business • How entrepreneurs accidentally stall their business growth after one "bad day" • The simple reset strategy I use to get back into momentum quickly • How to rebuild productivity and focus without overworking or burning out • Why small actions create faster business growth than waiting for motivation If you're a mum in business trying to grow your income, increase productivity, and build a successful business in school hours, this episode will help you reset quickly and get back into action. Because building a profitable business isn't about showing up perfectly every day. It's about resetting fast and keeping momentum moving forward.

182 - I Dropped the Ball (Here's What to Do When You Mess Up in Business)

Ever dropped the ball as a business owner and spiralled into guilt, shame or self-blame? In this honest episode, I'm sharing the story of how I forgot to renew my passport in time — and how that one mistake could have cost us our family holiday. But this isn't really about passports. It's about what happens when you're an ambitious mum in business, juggling growth, family life, admin, deadlines and everything in between — and something slips. Because it will. In this episode, we cover: How to handle mistakes in business without destroying your confidence, and instead switch into problem-solving mode The difference between "I made a mistake" and "I am a failure" Why ambitious women drop balls (and why it doesn't mean you're failing) The importance of systemising life admin so it doesn't live in your head The need to protect time for important but non-urgent tasks CEO thinking vs emotional reaction If you're building a business in limited hours, trying to increase productivity, improve time management, and grow without burning out — this episode will help you recover faster, think smarter, and lead better. Because the goal isn't perfection. It's: Drop it. Fix it. Learn from it. Build the system. And move forward.

181 - BTS (Part 2): How I found time for the gym without losing business hours (time strategy for mums in business)

If you're a mum in business struggling with time management, productivity, and fitting everything into limited work hours, this behind-the-scenes episode is for you. In this honest episode, I'm sharing the real moment I realised I was avoiding going to the gym — not because I didn't want to get fit, but because I felt guilty taking time away from growing my business. As a business-owning mum working in school hours only, every hour matters. So instead of choosing between my health and my business, I figured out how to make my gym time support both. Inside this episode, I share: • How to manage your time when you're building a business with limited hours • The productivity mindset shift that stops busy mums overworking • How to turn everyday life time into business growth time • Practical ways to create content and visibility even when you feel too busy • Why energy, health, and wellbeing are actually business growth strategies If you've ever felt like there's never enough time to grow your business, get fit, look after yourself, and be present for your family — this episode will show you a smarter way to make your hours work harder without working more. Perfect for: Mums in business, female entrepreneurs, business owners with young children, anyone trying to grow a business while balancing family life, limited work hours, and real-life responsibilities.

180 - Behind-the-scenes (Part 1): Stop Hoping For Time - Start Guaranteeing it

This is the first episode in my behind-the-scenes series, where I'm sharing what it really looks like for me to build multiple businesses as a mum with very limited childcare. I created this series because so much of the "behind the scenes" we see online is from people with teams, established audiences, and years of momentum. That's not my reality. I'm rebuilding my coaching business from the ground up, growing a networking community, launching a brand-new franchise, and starting a new community business — all while raising a nearly two-year-old. This is the real version. The decisions, the mindset shifts, the strategies, and the messy middle. In this first episode, I share the shift that changed everything for me: moving from hoping I'd find time to work… to guaranteeing it. You'll hear: why "hoping for time" keeps so many mums stuck how I protect a 90-minute daily window for marketing and sales why I stopped relying on evenings and why doing your best to guarantee some time, even with a busy family life, should be your priority. If you're a mum in business trying to grow in school hours, nap times, or the tiny cracks of the day - this episode is for you.

178 - How She Built a Six Figure Business After Bedtime with Sam Hoyle

Ever wonder how some mums actually manage to build a six figure business whilst juggling a full-time job, kids, and life, without completely burning out? This week I'm chatting with Sam Hoyle, founder of Harmony Accounting, who did exactly that. She shares honestly what it took, the late nights after bedtime, the focused use of every spare moment, and the systems that kept her sane whilst running a business while working full time. We talk about practical time management for business owners: doing the hard tasks first, using Asana as your external brain, and why finishing yesterday's unfinished work first thing today changes everything. Sam went from working evenings and weekends to handing in her notice within six months, without taking a pay cut. It's a proper, grounded look at mum entrepreneur strategies that actually work when you're growing a service based business around all the other demands on your time. If you've been wondering whether it's actually possible, this episode will show you it is.

176 - 8 Ways to Reduce Overwhelm When Life Feels Too Full

If you've ever hit that point where everything feels like "too much," this episode will feel like a deep exhale. After coming back from five weeks of travel and walking straight into chaos, I found myself needing every tool I teach, so I sat down and recorded a solo episode on the exact strategies I use to reduce overwhelm and get myself back to a calmer, clearer place. I share why overwhelm shows up, how to spot the thoughts that fuel it, and what to do when the maths of your to-do list genuinely doesn't add up. I also walk through simple nervous system tools, how to choose one priority when everything feels urgent, and why organising your tasks on paper or a calendar can shift your entire mindset. It's a grounded, practical guide to finding your footing again, even when life and business feel full.

Here's what no one tells you about time management coaching: the people who need it most are often the ones who are convinced they don't have time for it. My client, Natalie Rockall, was drowning in calendar overwhelm, squeezing meetings into impossibly tiny blocks while telling herself she was "too busy" to address her productivity issues. As a freelance email marketing consultant and self-proclaimed "deadline dancer," she'd built her entire work style around adrenaline and last-minute scrambling. However, deadline stress was no longer serving her; it was slowly destroying her business and her sanity. In this episode, Natalie gets brutally honest about her transformation from a chaotic productivity entrepreneur to someone who has mastered business time management. She shares the exact freelancer productivity tips and time blocking strategies that saved her from burnout and gave her back control of her life.

165 - Run for your Productivity

Do you ever feel like the harder you push, the more behind you fall? You've tried the planners, the time-blocking, the endless productivity hacks… But the truth? Hustling harder isn't the answer. And deep down, you know it. Leanne Davies was an overwhelmed mum searching for connection, and what she found instead was a counterintuitive strategy that built a 100K+ community and two successful businesses. She didn't work more hours. She went for a run. If you've been stuck in the burnout cycle, believing rest is a reward and movement is indulgent… this will flip your thinking. Because sometimes, stepping away is the smartest move you'll ever make. Ready to rewire your approach to productivity? I want to hear what shifts for you—DM me!
