In this episode of Mom to MORE™, host Sharon Macey is joined by Kay Paschal, entrepreneur, early childhood educator and author.
After leaving a corporate career to raise her two sons, Kay and her husband founded a preschool in Atlanta…with no previous early childhood experience…what could go wrong…which expanded to two locations, and thrived for over 25 years. Kay served on the Georgia Child Care Association Board, contributed parenting articles to local publications, and wrote her book entitled Insert Giggle Giggle – Laughing Your Way Through Raising Kids and Running a Business. Kay now speaks nationally on motherhood and business.
Join Sharon and Kay as they explore Kay's journey balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, her early challenges, and the joy of building a supportive community for parents and educators.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation filled with lots of laughter, wisdom, and the spirit of reinvention as Kay encourages moms to explore new opportunities, remain open-minded, and embrace every stage of motherhood!
