If you started your business to create more freedom and flexibility for your family, you’re not alone. For many mothers and caregivers, entrepreneurship is about more than just financial success—it’s about crafting a life that honors your family’s unique needs and rhythms. 

Yet, somewhere along the way, the dream of flexibility can get lost in the relentless pursuit of growth, the pressure to keep up, and the fear of losing momentum.

The Trap of Constant Hustle

It’s easy to fall into the cycle of always chasing the next milestone, client, or goal. Ambition and resilience are essential to run a business, but living in a constant state of hustle isn’t sustainable. Over time, it leads to burnout—not just from the workload, but from the emotional toll of always operating from a place of scarcity and fear. Thoughts like “What if it all goes away?” or “What if I fall behind?” can keep you stuck in a pattern of striving, never truly enjoying what you’ve built. 

Isn’t THAT one of the mean reasons you wanted to start your business in the first place? To experience more moments of joy in your life and with your loved ones? 

Moving from Scarcity to Abundance

In my POV, the key to breaking the hustle & grind cycle is shifting from a scarcity mentality to one of abundance. An abundance mindset is rooted in trust, a sense of fulfillment, and the belief that your work is valuable and impactful. It’s about knowing that you and your business are enough, right now. 

But how do you make this mindset shift, especially when old patterns and responsibilities feel so heavy?

This is where tools like Human Design and Gene Keys can be transformative. They are not the only tools out there, but these 2 have helped me and my clients experience incredible breakthroughs and insights to build a business that feels genuinely aligned.

How Human Design and Gene Keys Can Help

Human Design is a system that combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the chakra system and quantum physics to create a unique energetic blueprint of how you’re wired to operate in the world. It reveals your natural gifts & strengths, decision-making strategies, and the environments where you thrive. When you understand your Human Design, you can build your business in a way that honors your energy, your family’s needs, and your own rhythms—instead of forcing yourself into someone else’s mold.

Gene Keys takes this a step further, offering a contemplative approach to unlocking your highest potential. It helps you identify the patterns that keep you stuck in fear or scarcity, and guides you toward your unique gifts and purpose. By exploring your Gene Keys, you can reframe challenges as opportunities for growth and align your business with your deeper values to live an abundant & fulfilled life. 

So how do we design a business around our lifestyle and family’s rhythm? 

Here are some practical Steps 

1. Contemplate & Reflect: Start by giving yourself permission to pause and celebrate how far you’ve come. I like doing this type of exercise on a Friday by looking back at the previous days. You can also build in regular periods of reflection (Hello Projector, Reflector and Line 2 in Profil friends!), not just for your business, but for your personal growth. Think working in time blocks that include 5-10 mins of pause between each task. By implementing these short pauses regularly, it is a great moment where you can recognize your personal wins and reconnect with your “Why.”
   
   
2. Challenge Old Patterns: A good starting point here is to notice when you’re operating from fear or urgency. You can use your Human Design and Gene Keys charts to identify and rewire these patterns. For example, if your chart shows you need more rest or alone time, look at how you can honor that more—even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Believe me, I know how mom-guilt can creep in those moments or after, so offer yourself grace.
   
   
3. Redefine Success: Get clear on what success means for you and your family. Are you chasing goals that truly matter to you, or ones shaped by outside expectations? How can you align your business goals with your values and your family’s needs? I recently wrote a post on how, in Human Design, your energy type holds the key to understanding what success truly means for YOU. Check it out by clicking here.
   
   
4. Build Sustainable Systems: Create structures that support your business without requiring your constant presence. I learned this the hard way during the past 3 years,...ouch! I now simplify, delegate and automate wherever possible, and I can show you how too. This not only reduces your workload but also gives you the confidence to step back and be more present with yourself and your family.
