Building an Online Business as a Family: Kids, Chaos, & Content Creation | The Social Circle | Ep 31

Jennifer’s on vacation this week, so it’s just Candace and her husband Charlie on the mic, talking honestly about what it looks like to build an online business as a family.

Not the highlight reel. The real life version.

In this episode, we share how this all started, the messy middle, and the behind-the-scenes reality of creating content while raising kids, navigating marriage, and trying to build something bigger than ourselves.

We talk about:

• How one viral TikTok turned into a real business

• Late nights learning, pivoting, and trying everything

• Raising kids while creating content (noise, chaos, interruptions included)

• Judgment, imposter syndrome, and filming in public

• Money struggles, slow seasons, and building without an “easy button”

• Why consistency matters more than perfection

• The role communication and support play when building as a couple

If you’re scared to start, stuck in the messy middle, or trying to build an online business while managing real life, this episode is for you.

You don’t need a perfect plan. You don’t need to have it all figured out.
