Episode 47: The One For the Mom Ready to Build Life on Her Own Terms With Kalin Sheick: Go Time, Slow Time, and Why Your Worth Isn't Your Accomplishments

Send us a text

Kalin Sheick started Sweetwater Floral with $500, a ping pong table and zero business experience. Now she's a nationally recognized entrepreneur who's redefining what it means to thrive as a working mom and baller business woman.  With keeping hobbies as a top priority, not questioning family McDonald's dinners when the season is busy, and absolutely zero apologies, she's building an intentional life full of the good stuff.

Main Topics & Discussion

Building a Business While Building a Family

From fertility struggles to three kids in three years, Kaitlyn's entrepreneurial journey collided head-on with motherhood in the most chaotic way possible. When her daughter was born early and spent time in the NICU during their busiest wedding season, everything imploded - and that breakdown became the breakthrough that transformed their business. Sometimes the worst thing that happens becomes the catalyst for the best thing.

The Hobby Revolution

Here's where things get spicy: Kalin believes every woman needs hobbies that produce zero results. Not side hustles, not "monetize your passion" projects - actual hobbies that exist purely for joy. Golf, sourdough baking, mahjong, and wellness journeys that don't need to make Instagram content. She challenges the notion that moms should lose themselves in the "mom era" and argues for reclaiming multiple identities beyond motherhood.

Delusional Confidence and Strategic Failure

With a "done is better than perfect" philosophy, Kalin shares her most spectacular failures - from missing speaking engagements to tanking on QVC. Her secret weapon? The ability to compartmentalize mistakes without taking them personally. When you've experienced real stress (hello, NICU), business failures get put in perspective quickly. She operates on the principle that if you're not failing 20% of the time, you're not trying enough new things.
