Delegating in Business, Nesting at Home, and Counting Down to Baby

After a packed week of movement in every direction, I’m finally sitting down to reflect on it all and truthfully, it was one of those weeks where everything blurred together in the best kind of way.

Cranking Through the Chaos

From Monday through Thursday, I was deep in client work, internal systems, and team strategy. It was the kind of work where you finish the day both proud and wiped. But by Thursday afternoon, I started to find pockets to work ahead—and that little shift made all the difference.

Sometimes just being 24 hours ahead makes the whole week feel lighter.

On top of the client load, I also launched a new Mastermind group. My task of the week? Pick one employee and delegate one task. Seems simple, right? It wasn’t. Not because my team isn’t capable, they are, but because letting go is a skill I’m constantly refining. I haven’t completed the task yet, but I’ll check it off by Tuesday night.

Because what kind of leader would I be if I didn’t practice what I preach?

The Reality of Entrepreneurship

This week, my biggest challenge wasn’t time. It was boundaries. As a business owner, it’s so easy to stay in go-mode: to keep checking things off, to jump in wherever needed, to respond to everything in real time. But that cycle is exhausting if you never pause. I found myself constantly asking: am I doing this because I need to, or because I haven’t trained someone else to do it yet?

Spoiler: it was usually the latter.

And that brings me to something I am proud of, I showed up for my employees this week. In big and small ways. I:

• Scheduled out training sessions for the rest of the year

• Jumped on support calls to keep their momentum up

• Reviewed client work and offered direct, real-time feedback

• Spent time mentoring and helping each one grow into their next level

I talk a lot about how business success isn’t just about doing more, it’s about building better. And that includes building people. My team is the backbone of everything I’m creating right now, and their success is mine too.

Home and Baby Prep Mode

This week, my husband and I finally finished patching the nursery walls. That means one big thing: it's time to paint! We also moved everything we’ve bought or received so far from our bedroom, dining room, and even the garage into the nursery closet. It’s slowly starting to feel like a real space, and every step gets us closer to bringing baby Jett home.

On the home front, I took all day Friday and Saturday off to deep clean and declutter the kitchen and laundry room. It was a big job, but the mental clarity I gained was 100 percent worth it. It’s amazing how preparing your space can help you feel more emotionally and mentally prepared too.

We also did a massive round of postpartum meal prep. So far we’ve knocked out:

• 30 protein waffles

• 240 homemade chicken nuggets

• 27 chicken burritos

Knowing those are stocked and ready gives me so much peace of mind for those early newborn days.

Oh, and guess what? I have my maternity pictures this week! I haven’t posted much of my bump online, but if you’ve seen me in person, you know that I am definitely bumpin. I can’t wait to capture this chapter and celebrate everything my body is doing.

Looking Ahead

This week reminded me that support doesn’t just happen. It has to be created, nurtured, and refined. Delegation isn’t just a productivity hack. It’s a leadership skill. And if I want to keep growing, I have to let others grow alongside me.

With 10 weeks to go until baby Jett arrives, I’m feeling a mixture of nerves, excitement, and momentum. Every little bit counts, and every step forward in life, business, and baby prep is worth celebrating.

See you next week.
