How do you prioritize self-care and personal growth while balancing the demands of your business and raising teenagers? What strategies have you found helpful for maintaining open communication and connection with your teens while managing your workload? In this podcast episode, Colleen O'Grady engages in an insightful conversation with Leona Burton, exploring the unique challenges and triumphs of being both a mother and a business owner. They discuss the intricacies of balancing entrepreneurship with raising children, especially during the often tumultuous teen years. Leona shares her journey of founding Moms in Business International and her experiences with juggling a fast-paced career while raising six children of varying ages. Their conversation sheds light on the pressures moms face to "do it all," the societal expectations that often lead to feelings of guilt, and the importance of creating a supportive community for moms who need to balance business growth with family life. The episode emphasizes the importance of clarity, intention, and being kind to oneself amidst the chaos of parenting and working. Leona Burton is a dynamic entrepreneur, high-performance coach, and the founder of MIB International, the world’s largest community for women and mums in business. With over a decade of experience in business development, she has become a prominent figure in empowering women to achieve success. As a Forbes-featured Jack Canfield Advanced Success Coach, Leona specializes in guiding others through personal and professional growth, focusing on areas like visibility, sales, and marketing. Her leadership extends beyond the business realm, as she is a passionate advocate for mental health and personal well-being, balancing her career with being a mother to six children. Key takeaways from this episode highlight the importance of intentional time management and prioritizing both personal well-being and family needs. The conversation reinforces the idea that perfection is unattainable and that embracing the messy, imperfect moments is part of both parenting and business ownership. Leona and Colleen stress the value of open communication, not just with children but within one's own support network. Moms are encouraged to trust their intuition, practice self-care, and set boundaries to avoid burnout. The episode ultimately serves as a reminder that while the journey is challenging, with a clear vision and community support, moms can thrive in their dual roles as parents and professionals.
