When asking for a flexible schedule, it’s important to be as specific as possible, noting things like hours that can be worked remotely and core office hours.

Work-Life Integration:

When discussing workplace culture, one thing Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled, advises considering is the message of what you can expect as a working mom—an emphasis on work-life integration. “Ask questions that explore their policy towards your day-to-day life, like daycare needs and career paths.”

Seek clarity around a workplace’s attitude towards maternity leave, as well as its mission for creating a culture that works for mothers. This will make it easier to recognize how parenting and healthy work environments fit together.

By getting an idea of what to ask for when negotiating for more flexible working hours, moms can better their prospects for making arrangements more accommodating to family life. You can ask for less working hours or shifts that are more conducive to spending time with your children.  Through proactivity and making room for motherhood in the conversation, the overall result could help shift the cultural conversation on moms and work.

The 34-year-old, who gave birth to her first child just nine months ago, captivated social media users around the globe when she was seen tenderly cradling her tummy on stage at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, as the Philadelphia Eagles took on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Shortly after her spectacular display of strength and artistry, a spokesperson for the artist confirmed her pregnancy news. In her quest to take on this enormous task, the musician said motherhood had been a source of newfound courage and confidence.

“When you become a mom, something just happens, and you feel like you can take on the world, you can do anything,” Rihanna stated during a press conference in Phoenix on Thursday.

Two years after Rihanna graced the television stage, she joined DJ Khaled in singing Wild Thoughts at the Grammy Awards.  She didn’t require the extra theatricals for her long-awaited show to succeed.

With her unyielding strength, breathtaking performance, and now an unexpected pregnancy, Rihanna continues to reign as a revolutionary figure in music, fashion, family, friendship, business and motherhood.

Decluttering is one crucial self-care practice for single moms in business. Uncluttering the physical space around you in the office allows you to focus more effectively on the tasks at hand and encourages mindfulness. Keep office supplies and materials in labeled containers, clear away paper piles, organize work documents in an easy-to-find system, and display motivating images. By tidying the workspace and streamlining its processes, single moms can cultivate an atmosphere of serenity, productivity, and well-being.

Another critical self-care practice for single moms in business is to keep office supplies and materials restocked. Make sure you have enough bare office essentials such as printer paper, printer cartridges, sticky notes, file folders, and office supplies to ensure you don’t have to look for something every time you need it. Restocking can be time-consuming, so plan ahead and buy bulk when possible.

Finally, the organization is essential in helping single moms stay on top of the demands of their businesses and keep track of the resources and paperwork involved. A well-thought-out filing system and organized workspace can provide the perfect sanctuary for effective and efficient work. Invest in clear trays and desk organizers and write lists of tasks, errands, and deadlines to prioritize tasks and stay productive.

These three self-care practices – decluttering, restocking, and organization – can help single moms in business manage their office space in an effective way that helps keep stress at bay and ensures greater well-being in their working day. Remembering self-care isn’t just about creating a tidy office; it’s also about finding balance, dealing with stress, and prioritizing self-care to enjoy life.

Additionally, many cities have programs and resources specifically for single parents. Some single moms find it helpful to connect with others who are also self-employed or who work from home. This can provide a sense of community and allow for exchanging ideas and resources. There are many online forums and Facebook groups that serve this purpose. 

In addition to connecting with other single moms, it is also essential to connect with other women business owners. There are several networking groups and events specifically for female entrepreneurs. This is a great way to meet potential mentors, collaborators, and customers. 

Finally, single moms should utilize the resources and programs available through their local Chamber of Commerce or Small Business Administration. These organizations offer a wealth of resources and support for small businesses. Many cities also have programs specifically for single parents that can provide additional support.
