This is it, ladies.

The class that brings together the best of everything I’ve shared with my clients over the past 3 years.

If you’re serious about building a life that you’re excited about, where ALL PARTS of you are accounted for (not just the parts that wipe tushies and noses), then read on, mama.

  • Avoiding toxic people and “mompetition”

Week Three: Power Up

Week Five: Show Up

  • Tips on how to be present, even when it’s time to play Candyland… again
  • How to shift gears between work and home life and get rid of “Briefcase Brain”
  • How to value “being” just as much as “doing” (News flash: Your kids already do.)
  • Are you productive, or just busy? How to slow down and find out

Week Six: Grow Up

  • How to ask for what you need (from your husband, your kids, your in-laws) and be okay with asking for help!
  • How to be real with friends, and why it feels SO much better than being perfect!
  • How to successfully implement your “Perfectly Imperfect” plan
  • Completing your “Momifesto”

WARNING— side effects of this course may include:

  • Feeling like the dark cloud that’s been hovering over your head just took a vacation
  • Walking a little taller, having sparkly eyes and feeling like you might want to shop for new underwear
  • Wanting to flirt with your spouse rather than scratch his eyes out
  • Feeling motivated to work toward the goals that you’ve been procrastinating about
  • Feeling excited to get up at the beginning of your day and pretty awesome at the end of it
  • Knowing what to say to people who judge you, and caring less when they do
  • Becoming a pro at processing the daily firehouse of information that comes at you (permission slips, science projects, sleeping schedules, shoe sizes, bills, etc.) and knowing how to keep it under control.
  • Having teams of people wanting to support you, and not feeling like your burdening people when they do.
  • Becoming a member of your own team again and cheering yourself on, rather than constantly beating yourself up (how’s that working for you, by the way?)

Oh please, oh please, don’t register for this course if you:

  • You’re the mom with the glued-on smile that has a life where everything is groovy and every minute of motherhood is an exquisite joy.
  • If your husband works from home, does carpool every morning, helps with the housework and greets you every morning with “what can I do to make your life easier?”
  • You haven’t, at one point in your tenure as “mom” asked (no one in particular), “Is this all there is?”
  • You wouldn’t dare share a doubt or a fear with another mommy friend, lest the think you’re— gasp!— don’t have it all under control.

A note about the class:

You will not be taking this class with 100 of your closest friends. I will be keeping these classes small so that you can ask questions and get the attention you need to get the most out of this course. That’s how I roll.

Who am I, anyway?

I’m Carley Knobloch, life coach productivity expert, and founder of Mothercraft. I’m mom to two of the coolest kids I know and a rambunctious puppy. I have a wonderful, tolerant husband who is my best friend and a darn good pancake flipper. We all live in the sunny suburbs of Los Angeles. Did I say sunny? I meant sweltering.

I’m also a life and career coach obsessed with empowering moms to find careers they love, create systems to simplify their lives, prioritize what’s important and get a HEAP more done in a day. I eat, sleep and dream this stuff. Mostly happy dreams, except for one recurring nightmare about a pile of laundry that chased me down the street while my neighbors looked on with disapproval. (True story.)

Mothercraft (my life coaching company) was born out of the chaos that ensued when I left my hip and lucrative dot-com career and became a “Homie” (that’s Mothercraft-speak for stay-at-home mom). Life looked peachy from the outside, lots of picnics at the park and board book marathons. How I felt on the inside was another story altogether. I was suffering from what I can only describe as a full-blown identity crisis. I had traded my job with all its perks, notoriety, travel and fabulous income (friendships, social status… I could go on) for sweatpants, diapers and Blues Clues. Many of my friends swiftly returned to work, and though I knew they were struggling with their own emotional tug-of-war, I envied their life away from domesticity and I longed to use my skills and talents. I adored being home with my son, but I often found myself looking in the mirror and thinking, Who the heck is this puffy-eyed woman? And what has she done with the old me?

In the years that followed, I put myself back together like a giant puzzle. And I can help you do it too. It’s time to create a NEW vision of your motherhood, one that honors and respects ALL PARTS of you, not just the ones that you think belong to a “perfect mother” (News flash– there’s no such thing).

But enough about me… here’s what other people say about me (heh.)

adornfestHave you ever wished for a fairy godmother? Someone who would float down from the heavens, alight on your shoulder, and help you through the whole parenting thing? Mine would say things like, “It’s been two years since you last changed the furnace filter, dear. Why don’t you put that on your to-do list?” and “You’ve got too many things scheduled for today. Erase at least two and go for a walk instead.” Then she’d pat my shoulder and tell me what a good job I’m doing. Carley Knobloch is sort of like that only she doesn’t sit on people’s shoulders. She’s devoted to helping moms get organized, reach their goals, and jump start their entrepreneurial ventures.
Asha Dornfest, Parent Hacks

hallardI tend to brainstorm a MILLION ideas, quickly become overwhelmed and then decide to ditch them all. Working with Carley has changed my life – she’s helped me take my ideas, decide which ones I want to develop and then formulate a game plan from start to finish. She is the perfect blend of taskmaster and cheerleader, and working with her helped me achieve SO MUCH, quickly and simply. Love, love, love her.
Heather Allard, The Mogul Mom


mtaylorI love Carley’s wisdom. Her advice resonated with me in a deep way. I know that her suggestions are exactly what I must do to be successful and have balance. From her advice, I am looking at how to set boundaries, and be intentional and disciplined with my time for work, and time for family. She reminded me that my time is finite, so I don’t want to let my work time bleed into my family time… which I tend to do!
Melissa Taylor, Imagination Soup


ebaeblerWorking with Carley made me highly motivated to continue and build on the work I’ve been doing. I love the way she knows you can do things even when you aren’t sure. Her energy is amazing and yet she has a calming presence at the same time. Her practical approach to getting things done really does allow you to move forward on the things you want to accomplish.
Erin Baebler, The Magnolia Workshop


Approaching Carley to coach me was one of the best decisions I ever made. Her constructive advice helped me get through the day-to-day of my currently unfulfilling job, knowing that I was building a new plan that was more meaningful to me. I am extremely thankful for Carley’s role as not only my coach, but also my cheerleader; as her immeasurable support, optimism, and enthusiasm were a major contribution to my personal victory. I would 1,000% recommend Carley to anyone who has the itch to improve any aspect of their life or career.
M. Dennis, Recovering Sales Exec. turned Interior Designer

One of the great things that I got from coaching sessions with Carley is very useable action steps to put into practice as soon as I got home. Organizing time, lists, and action steps… she does a great job at taking what feels like the “overwhelming” and calmly breaking down so it’s doable. She’s so empathetic to what a mom goes through, so it doesn’t feel like some outsider giving you unrealistic suggestions, like Martha Stewart, or something!
A. Brook, Mom of Two

Carley was so reassuring and immediately mapped out a plan of attack to follow in our work together. This was in April. Now it’s October and since I’ve begun working with Carley, I’ve left my unfulfilling job that had me sitting in a 2×2 cubicle with a headset, realized my new career path, and am actively taking steps to find the job that incorporates my “core values” and my passion. Thank you, Carley!
