In this episode of Time Billionaires, Rebecca speaks with Mary Sheehan. Mary, an award-winning tech marketing leader at Adobe Lightroom and founder of the Propel Yourself program, digs into her transition back to work after maternity leave and the overwhelm of juggling professional ambitions with motherhood. Together, they introduce the “minimum viable person” framework, a twist on the MVP concept borrowed from product launches, and explore how tiny, intentional habits can become your baseline for well-being and productivity.
Rebecca and Mary unpack how decision fatigue especially affects busy moms, who may make upwards of 35,000 choices a day, and how carving out predictable “micro moments” can free up mental energy. Drawing on BJ Fogg’s Tiny Habits, Mary shares how she reclaimed moments, like ten minutes of yoga after bedtime or a short walk after the school drop-off, that deliver the same boost she used to get from longer workouts. By defining non-negotiable practices (five minutes of meditation, 20 minutes of movement, time outdoors), you remove the daily “yes or no” battle and create space for clarity and creativity.
To help listeners put this into action, Mary recommends a simple worksheet: list the elements of your most “calm, wonderful day” on the left, then translate each into bite-sized MVP habits on the right. From there, block those slots on your calendar, communicate your needs with family or teammates, and test how small shifts can reshape your mindset.
