51: Ditching the Guilt & Embracing the Benefits of Motherhood and Entrepreneurship

Hands up if you feel guilty for being excited about your business. For working on the weekend, or taking a shorter maternity leave, or taking on that extra project and being less present in your home. For daring to build something for you- and not making absolutely EVERYTHING be about your kids. 

Juggling a growing business alongside the heavy load of motherhood is a LOT. Trying to stay on top of all of the things is a LOT. And constantly comparing ourselves- to those around us, to the stereotypical mums we see on tv, to the "perfect" lives we are shown on instagram? It feeds that guilt until you end up feeling like you've failed at everything. 

The thing is, no one has this figured out. No one is doing it perfectly. And EVERYONE deals with the guilt of trying to balance these two very important aspects of their lives. If you are keeping your small humans happy and your business afloat- that is enough. You are doing enough. 

And alongside all of those added obstacels and challenges of running a business? There are a lot of benefits too. Not just for you, but for your children.

This epsiode is all about highlighting the ways in which being an entrepreneur enriches your children's lives, your family's lifestyle, and the community around you. It celebrates the hardships of entrepreneurship and motherhood, gives you the great big pat on the back you deserve (and need to hear!) and shares the three best things about running a business while raising tiny humans. 

This is a short and sweet solo episode and I hope you'll find it helpful, relatable and a little bit inspirational too.
