304: How to Navigate Becoming a Mom When You Already Have a Business You Love

Motherhood and business—can we really do both without losing our minds? If you’re an entrepreneur who’s expecting or navigating new motherhood, this episode is for you. I’m sharing everything I wish I had known before having my first baby while running a business. From planning maternity leave (hint: you’ll probably need more time than you think) to learning how to delegate and let go of perfectionism, I’m breaking it all down with real, honest advice.

I’ve been running my business for years before becoming a mom, and being a mom has changed everything. But here’s the thing—I didn’t have to give up my business or my dream of being a present, hands-on mom. I had to learn how to pivot, simplify, and create a version of success that actually worked for my family. And that’s exactly what I want to help you do, too. 

Whether you’re pregnant, trying to conceive, or already juggling diapers and deadlines, this episode will give you the pep talk (and strategy) you need. So if you’re wondering How will I keep my business going? or Will I ever sleep again?!—I’ve got you. Let’s dive into my top tips for navigating this wild, beautiful season of motherhood and entrepreneurship. You can do this, and I’m here to help!
