Hi! I'm Christy

I help overwhelmed moms get unstuck, feel legit, and build a business that actually pays the bills without adding to the mental overload.

Do you find yourself with 17 Google tabs open, trying to figure out how to “run your business” – only to spiral into self-doubt and close your laptop?

For me, everything starts with one question: 

What do you need most right now?

Because if we skip over what’s real today, any plan for tomorrow will miss the mark.

Why?

Because if you’re like most of the moms I work with, you’ve spent years doing “mom math” – budgeting the groceries, scheduling the carpool, managing the household, and trying to figure out how to contribute financially while carrying the mental load.

What Clients Are Saying

I needed this confidence boost so badly. Reclaiming my power!

You get to do this differently...

Burnout isn’t a business plan.

Here’s the thing – there are no rules to running your business.

(Okay, except for the legal parts… like paying taxes.)

But the gurus and bro-boys will have you believing that their “exact strategy” will earn you six figures in six months.

And maybe you’re here now because you’re done doing it their way.

You don’t need to hustle harder or force your life into someone else’s framework.

You need support that meets you where you are – chaotic calendar, sticky note lists, and all.

 That’s what this space is for. So your business will pay the bills, honor your capacity, and leave room for the rest of your life.

No shame. No hustle pressure. No pushing the kid who’s asking for a snack away – Just meeting you where you are.

Just honest conversation, bite-sized actions, and doable progress that actually feels good.

I’m ready to do it differently…

I see you. And you’re not alone.

Do you find yourself with 17 Google tabs open, trying to figure out how to “run your business” – only to spiral into self-doubt and close your laptop?

Because if you’re like most of the moms I work with, you’ve spent years doing “mom math” – budgeting the groceries, scheduling the carpool, managing the household, and trying to figure out how to contribute financially while carrying the mental load.

I created Christy Russell Consulting because I needed a way to make money that didn’t make me choose between being the primary caregiver to my autistic son and keeping our groceries in the fridge. I wanted flexibility, not hustle. A business that supported my life – not one that demanded 9-5 hours.

Now I help other overwhelmed moms create that too.

01

My biggest professional accomplishment

When my youngest son received his autism diagnosis, I founded a nonprofit that enhances the quality of life for children with special healthcare needs and their families across the lifespan. I wanted to make sure that families like mine have access to the resources and services they need within the region they live. I am so proud that nonprofit is still serving local families today.

02

Things that make me proud

Besides my 3 amazing sons and picking a pretty awesome husband to do life with – I am really proud of my willingness to face fears. From jumping out of a plane, to moving away from friends and family, from leaving a really stable job to starting a brand-new business from scratch… I like to face fear and change with a brave face, an open mind, and an adventurous heart.

Fun Facts

In the winter, my favorite place to be is in front of the fireplace with cup of coffee, snuggled under a fluffy blanket, and reading a book. In the summer, I am most often found by the pool with a book in my hand. In between, you can find me volunteering for my favorite nonprofit, taking a walk in the woods, or baking snacks for my three teenage boys with insatiable appetites. 

In my 20-year career, I managed retail stores, day camps, competitive cheerleading events and a flight school. I founded a nonprofit, managed state and federal funds, and most recently was the director of operations for state government.

Of the last 3 small businesses I worked with, all 3 celebrated revenue increases between 50% and 250%! Creating systems, standard operating procedures, restructuring staff, and implementing action plans helped prepare for the incredible growth. Strategic planning ensured that as revenue grew, the organizations had the resources to handle and sustain the growth.
