Let's talk about finding alignment and balance in new motherhood, especially when your traditional business model and success no longer serves the life you want to create.
In this podcast episode, I share my experience with running a business and raising 2 young kids, finding myself again and building a business that truly lights me up.
This is an interview that first aired on Rachelle Saevils 'Behind the Fold' podcast, where she shares interviews breaking down the real and raw BTS of motherhood and business.
We discussed:
• 5:38 - My business growth, fears and preparation during and after my first pregnancy.
• 12:57 - The time in between my first and second child of feeling unaligned and conflicted, that caused me to rethink my whole business model.
• 20:00 - The experience and struggles of having my partner become the primary care giver while I continued working.
• 23:30 - How my motherhood identity and mindset changed from one birth to the next.
• 26:15 - Learning about the power of self care, slowing down and being okay with extended timelines when it comes to goals.
• 34:00 - Focusing on what matters most to you, even if it means a revenue dip in your business for a season.
I hope this episode encourages you to seek balance among all the areas you may be juggling in whatever that might look like for you- give yourself some grace.
