I help time-starved moms of littles refill their energy with 20-minute micro-hobbies—no babysitter, no guilt.
Remember: 20 minutes is the start, not the ceiling. We begin small to win today—then we stretch the window as your season allows.

I’m a mom who lost my ‘me’ for a while- nap windows, bedtime sprints, constant interruptions.
The shift was 20 minutes: tiny, finish-tonight projects plus calm boundary scripts.
It wasn’t about talent or hours. It was a timer, a sketchpad, and building upon those 20-minute windows.
The 2-minute Story
Small wins beat perfect plans
20 minutes counts- even if you stop mid-flow.
Scripts create time; guilt shouldn't
20 minutes gets you moving; partnership and planning grow the window.

"Trying to learn a new hobby was intimidating- but thinking of it as 20-minute blocks of time was easy and gave me a sense of accomplishment. I'm slowly starting to feel like myself again."- Kim, 2 kids under 3

I publish under Shanae for privacy, but every story and guide here is mine—field-tested in a home with littles. You’ll always get specific, try-tonight steps, not theory.
