The Weekday Woman working on a laptop at a wooden table with a glass of iced coffee and an open magazine.

The Weekday Woman Blog

If you’ve ever balanced Zoom calls with laundry duty, grocery shopped while answering emails, or run errands between track meets and dance recitals, this is for you. Perhaps during school drop-offs, you googled "can stress burn calories?" — Congratulations, you’ve found your people. (For 20 years, my life felt like a run-on sentence that never ended…) But I digress.

This is your weekday sanctuary. A space for smart shortcuts, mindset upgrades, and permission slips to ditch perfection. We believe in doing what matters, finding peace and laughing when things fall apart (because they will), and embracing the magic in the mayhem.

Here’s what we don’t do:
❌ Glorify burnout
❌ Worship busyness
❌ Pretend we’re not reheating the same cup of coffee for the third time

  • Here’s what we do instead:
    ✅ Make weekdays work FOR you, not the other way around
    ✅ Find joy in the juggle
    ✅ Cheer for progress over perfection — and celebrate wins both big and bite-sized (yes, getting dressed counts)

So pour that coffee again (judgment-free zone here), slide into your power flats or fuzzy socks, and let’s navigate this wild, wonderful “weekday world” together.

Because here at The Weekday Woman, we don’t just face the week—we flip it, finesse it, and help you finish it.

AI and The Weekday Woman

Let’s face it — most Weekday Women aren’t waking up with an hour for yoga, 30 minutes to journal, and a green smoothie that didn’t come from a drive-thru. We’re balancing careers, kids, caretaking, and keeping the fridge from becoming a crime scene.

So, when it comes to feeling accomplished? We need quick wins that count.
The great news is: your brain is built for that.

Self Care Is Necesssary {Yes, Still}

Self-care isn’t indulgent—it’s essential. Prioritizing your mental and physical health isn’t selfish; it’s strategic. When you treat yourself like a priority, you boost stamina, reduce stress, and lower your risk of illness. Yet, for many women, putting ourselves first can feel uncomfortable, like we’re being egotistical or neglecting others.
