In this episode, I'm stepping away from marketing strategies to talk about a season of life that is both challenging and full of love. Running a business from home is demanding enough, but what happens when you are also the go-to person for college-age kids, aging parents, and clients who count on you every day?
I share a recent scare with my dad, the constant stream of "hey I need help or did you see my Venmo" texts from my kids, and the daily reality of managing it all while trying to keep my business running smoothly. What could feel overwhelming is reframed through my many years of client service. I explain how staying calm under pressure, asking better questions before reacting, and reading between the lines, skills honed with clients, have unexpectedly prepared me for family emergencies and everyday surprises.
This episode is not about having it all figured out. It is a confession about the messy middle: the guilt, the fatigue, and the moments of wondering where there is space for yourself. I'm sharing practical strategies that keep me grounded, from time-blocking and delegation to ten-minute “micro rests” and laughter with friends. I'm also giving a shout out to the steady support of my husband, who shows up in ways big and small to remind me that I am not alone in carrying the load.
If you have ever felt like you are holding everything together for multiple generations, this conversation will remind you that you are not the only one. It is okay to admit it is hard, and it is also okay to let others in.
If this resonates with you, share it with a friend who is also juggling a lot. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is say it out loud: yes, this season is tough, and we are still doing it.
