Hey there business moms! Welcome to my corner of the Internet. I'm Yael Bendahan - mom of 6, business coach for moms, host of the Raising Your Business Podcast and founder of CEO Mom Academy. If you're tired of hustling day in and out trying to get your online biz to the income level you're dreaming of, hearing business advice that just WILL NOT work for your life as a mom (5 AM club, anyone? NOPE), and trying to figure out HOW to reach that "work less and earn more" holy grail that's been dangled in front of you since you first Googled "work at home ideas for moms"? Well, that's about to change! We help incredible business moms JUST LIKE YOU to go from struggling solopreneurs to Confident CEO Moms! Inside this show, we'll be diving into the highs and lows of raising your family AND building your business. I'm giving you my best strategies for working smarter, not harder - and building more leveraged income with content that converts, an offer suite that sells, and the systems to keep your business AND home running smoothly - well, most of the time! Nothing is off the table! And to make it even better it won't just be me! I am bringing in some of my biz besties, mompreneurs & fellow industry leaders to give you their best stuff on building your business SUSTAINABLY! If we haven’t met before, let me tell you a little bit of our backstory! I started my virtual assistant business as a mom of 4 little boys, just wanting to make an extra $1K a month to help support my family. After growing a 6-figure service based business, and having my 5th child (and first girl!) in 2020, I pivoted into coaching moms through building their businesses in a way that worked FOR their family. Multiple 6-figure years later (for me AND my clients), I want to share everything I know about raising a family while being an ambitious business owner!

So this episode is a little different. I'm currently very pregnant, less than a week from my due date, sitting in my office telling you the real behind the scenes of how and why I built the CEO Mom Collective the way I did. Not the trendy way. Not the "everyone else is doing it this way" way. The way that actually works for my life right now, with a house full of kids and a business I refuse to let eat me alive.
This isn't just a "c...
Okay so real talk... things in the online space feel WEIRD right now, right? One minute you're hearing "nothing's working anymore" and the next someone's making a million bucks in 72 minutes flat. (Yap Challengers, unite!) So which is it??
This week I'm pulling back the curtain on a training I ran a couple weeks ago (yep, this is a replay, and yes I'm sharing it publicly because it was just too good to keep locked away). I dug into ...
The Backstreet Boys are everywhere. The Jonas Brothers brought out Jesse McCartney, JoJo, and Demi Lovato on tour. Hilary Duff is back. And grown adults with mortgages and probably some form of joint pain are screaming like it's 2006 in Claire's.
Clearly, as a marketer, I couldn't just sit back and enjoy -- I had to figure out why it was working. And what I found is a marketing mechanism that literally changes people's emotional sta...
You don't need perfect conditions to make sales. You just need the right plan.
Easier said than done, I know. But hear me out.
Six weeks ago I was 27 weeks pregnant and coming off a long season of pulling way back on selling. And I decided it was time to get back into motion — not because everything was calm and perfect, but because I know something about sales that took me years to learn.
This episode is that thing.
I'm breaking...
Have you ever looked at your business and thought "I need a whole new offer, a whole new funnel, a whole new strategy" — when actually, you just need a smarter entry point?
Yeah. Been there. Built a better funnel instead.
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of my favorite business wins: how a $27 workshop led to over $100K in backend sales — including an $18K VIP client — without a complicated tech ...
Every May, the panic hits. The kids' school schedule is imploding, your calendar looks like a snack list exploded on it, and suddenly you're realizing... oh. Summer is in like three weeks.
And if you're anything like most mom entrepreneurs, your "summer business plan" is basically: vibe and hope. Which — girl, same energy but not a strategy.
This episode is the wake-up call you need before you either disappear all summer OR bur...
You did everything right. You emailed, you pre-sold, you showed up all week long. Day 6 of your launch: two sales.
Sound familiar?
Before you blame your offer, rewrite your sales page, or spiral into "maybe nobody actually wants this" — I want to share something that came up on our final CEO Mom Mastermind call that made me feel both extremely validated and also super excited to share with you.
One of my clients went from 2 sale...
Okay real talk — slow sales seasons are THE WORST.
You're doing the thing, you're showing up, you have a great offer, and yet... crickets. And then your brain starts spiraling into "maybe I need a new niche" or "maybe I should launch something else" or "maybe I'm just not cut out for this."
Stop. Just stop right there.
I've been in that exact place — a 2K month, pregnant, exhausted, no idea how to turn things around. And w...
Okay, I'm baaaaack! And before we get into it — yes, I know it's been a while.
My last episode was February 10th. I came out of first trimester ready to go, launched the CMA Accelerator, and then on March 1st Israel and the US went to war with Iran. Schools shut down. My six kids were home for six weeks straight. We had sirens multiple times a day and multiple times a night, and every single one meant dropping everything, grab...
You've heard it a million times: "Sell the destination, not the airplane." Don't confuse people with your process—they just want the result.
I'm calling BS.
Because in 2026, when everyone's using the same AI prompts and sounding exactly alike? Your unique PROCESS is literally the only thing that makes you different. It's your moat. Your AI-proof competitive advantage.
In this episode, I'm breaking down why your signature framewo...
Most business planning assumes consistent capacity, predictable childcare, and steady energy. That's not mom life—and it never will be.
I'm currently pregnant with baby #7, dealing with first trimester brain fog, and planning my most strategic year yet. How? I'm not planning for an ideal fantasy world. I'm planning for REALITY—sick kids, holidays, maternity leave, and the capacity shifts that come with motherhood.
In this...
If you crawled across the December finish line feeling like you just ran a marathon after the holidays—or if your launches and offers have been feeling heavier and conversions are down—we need to talk.
The truth is, what worked even a couple years ago isn't working anymore. The market has shifted. Buyers are more cautious, the content treadmill feels exhausting, and honestly? It's okay if you're just feeling kind of...ti...
Black Friday 2025 was... interesting. Some people crushed it. Others had their quietest year in ages. And if you're somewhere in between trying to figure out what just happened...this episode is for you.
I'm breaking down exactly what's selling right now, what people experienced from both sides of Black Friday this year, and why specificity and human connection are the only things cutting through the noise anymore. Because spoiler a...
What if I told you that you could launch your first leveraged offer, make over $11K, and still show up for your kids' Christmas parties without breaking a sweat?
My client Katherine did exactly that—and she did it in December while being fully present for her five kids. No complicated challenge funnels. No showing up on camera every single day. Just a simple, stripped-back launch process that actually works for moms with actua...
In this episode, I'm taking you back to November 2019—when I was pregnant, exhausted, and racing against the clock to launch a funnel by the last Friday of the month. Spoiler: that Friday was Black Friday, and I had no idea what I was doing. But in that one week, I made $4,000 from a tiny email list and a simple low-ticket offer.
This story isn't just about making money during the busiest shopping season of the year. It's abou...
We made it to 100 episodes! Cue the confetti and nursing-baby-in-lap dance party 🎉
For this very special episode, I handed the mic over to ChatGPT (okay, technically just a list of questions it came up with) and let it interview ME. And yes, it was as fun and chaotic as it sounds.
I answered everything from my morning routine (spoiler: it involves gratitude and coffee with frothy milk) to my biggest business lessons as a mom of six ...
Have you ever hit that point in your business where you’re making pretty good money—maybe consistently hitting $8K, $10K months—but you feel completely maxed out? You can’t take on another client without losing your mind, but you’re not quite at the income goal you want either?
We get it. You’re stuck at what I call the $10K to $20K ceiling—that specific revenue plateau where you&rsq...
Back when I was selling done-for-you funnels, ads, and launch plans, I could close a client in my sleep. Discovery calls were a breeze: I'd walk them through my strategy, they’d say yes, and we’d get started.
But when I pivoted to coaching? Crickets.
Even with a dozen free calls and solid experience, I couldn’t sell a single coaching package. It was infuriating.
If you’ve ever felt that way, this episode is for...
I see this ALL the time: moms telling me they want to scale—but when we dig into it? They actually need to grow first.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between growth and scaling (they’re not the same, mama!), and giving you a super clear way to figure out where YOU are right now so you can stop spinning in circles and start moving forward strategically.
We’ll talk about what it really means t...
Ever feel like you’re doing everything right...but it’s still not working as well as it should be?
You’re creating content, showing up online, promoting your offers… but sales feel slow, growth is stalling, and you can’t figure out what the heck is actually going wrong.
If that’s you right now, this episode is gonna be your wake-up call (and roadmap).
I’m breaking down the FIVE biggest busine...
