Ever feel like your family’s CEO, chef, chauffeur, therapist… and yet somehow still the only one who knows where the dang field trip form is? You're not alone, and you’re definitely not crazy!
On this week’s episode of The Life Management System, I’m joined by Dana Malstaff - single mom and founder of Boss Mom - to talk about the mental load, motherhood, and why delegation isn’t a dirty word.
And y’all, not only is she dropping practical wisdom on managing your time, energy, and identity as a working mom, but she’s also got a jaw-dropping tool that might just change the way you coach yourself through overwhelm (spoiler: it involves AI and your future self 🧠⚡).
🎧 Inside this episode, we cover:
• How Dana juggles parenting, entrepreneurship, and staying sane(ish) without burning out
• The truth about delegating as a high-achiever (and why it’s more than just “asking for help”)
• How Dana created a personalized GPT tool - Future Me - to help coach herself (and now you!)
• Why your snack drawer might be the key to reclaiming 10 minutes of your life 😅
Whether you’re a mompreneur, remote worker, or 9-to-5 powerhouse trying to keep the plates spinning, this episode will make you laugh, nod, and rethink how you support yourself inside the chaos.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
