The Boss Mom Podcast

Welcome AMAZING BOSS MOM We are so glad you found us because that means you have a burning desire to create something in this world...something that positively impacts people AND also makes you money. You are in the right place. Here at Boss Mom, we know all too well the challenges of raising babies and businesses at the same time and you need more than just great resources (which we have) you also need a strong support system (we have that too). Just like all moms you need a simple business because life is complex and you should never have to apologize for having a sometimes unpredictable schedule. You can build a really successful (and profitable) business in 15 hours a week, you just have to know how (and we are going to show you). We interview amazing ladies who share their struggles and successes as well as solo episodes where I guide you through our Nurture to Convert System designed to help Boss Moms raise their business and babies at the same time. I'm Dana Malstaff, founder and CEO of Boss Mom LLC, and I'll be your host.

Being a mom is hard, and sometimes it feels like nobody understands. We see perfect moms in books and movies, but real life isn't like that. This makes moms feel even more stressed and lonely. We try to do everything and be perfect, but it’s exhausting. It’s easy to feel like we’re not good enough.

Real-life moms are not perfect, and that's okay. We need to support each other and find help when we need it. We need to ...

A lot of marketing strategies today feel cold and don't work well. This makes it hard for busy moms to connect with their audience while taking care of their families. What if there’s a way to market that not only helps you build real relationships but also helps your business grow?

Many traditional marketing methods leave moms feeling tired and disconnected, making it tough to manage both work and family. How can you...

Life is cyclical and seasonal, but adapting to these cycles can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Many moms put a lot of energy into trying to maintain control, only to end up overwhelmed and out of sync. The truth is, being in control shouldn’t be our ultimate goal. Embracing the ebbs and flows of life should.

We all deal with life's complexities and a rollercoaster of emotions. Striving for constant cont...

Summer is fun but let’s be real, it can also turn our usual routines upside down—especially for us Boss Moms balancing our businesses with family life.

It’s super important to understand that our lives change with the seasons. There are ways to keep your business moving forward during the summer, all while making sure you still have loads of family time.

While many people think being online all the time is the best way to grow your business, there’s a reason why the old-school way of meeting people face-to-face can be even better.

Moms can use networking to make strong connections that really help their business, without making life more stressful.

Even with your busy schedule, where can you find the right people to support your goals? Does ...

Since 2015, we have built our Facebook group into a thriving 75k member community. This year, I decided to shut it down.

 

Walking away from something that’s “doing well” is scary, but if it’s not lighting us up, it’s the right thing to do.

 

The Facebook group was working - even growing, but the truth is: I had started to resent it. I didn’t fall out of love with bui...

As entrepreneurs, we pour ourselves into building these amazing businesses, the last thing we’d ever consider is shutting them down, especially when they’re doing well. Why would we choose to walk away from something that’s actually working?

 

Well…that’s where Krista Lockwood found herself. After building a 6 figure business over the last 5 years, she has decided to sell it and move on.

Today’s rules of marketing force us in one direction: be everywhere, all the time, non-stop.

 

It’s all about more content, more entertainment, and of course - more virality. Here’s the problem for moms: this isn’t a sustainable version of marketing. It’s exhausting, guilt-inducing and unrealistic. Our life requirements don’t align with being online all the time, and we shouldn’t have to play ...

As entrepreneurs, there’s a ton of pressure to commit to one thing and stick with it, no matter what. Even though we’re constantly evolving, switching things up makes us think we’re wishy-washy, indecisive and uncommitted. Does that mean we have to sell and say the same thing forever, even when it’s no longer in alignment with us?

 

Life's too short to stick with something that's not lighting ...

So many women have juicy and purposeful potential inside them, but because they’re too depleted to see the possibilities, it never sees the light of day.

 

We tell ourselves that being moms is what’s holding us back. The truth is: not tapping into our potential has nothing to do with our kids, and everything to do with our own emotions.

Visibility is crucial for business growth, getting new clients, and increasing sales. However, for many, especially women and mothers, being seen is a significant challenge. Beyond the realm of business, there's a deeper struggle: the quest for identity and purpose.

 

Balancing personal aspirations with societal expectations can be overwhelming. The fear of judgment often holds us back from ou...

Navigating the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, particularly for Boss Moms, involves constant shifts, uncertainties, and tough decisions. One of the most daunting challenges is the pivot – transitioning from a known, successful path to something uncertain.

As moms, we know the struggle of never having more than 10 minutes to ourselves. We are always constantly juggling multiple tasks with barely a moment to spare.

 

It can get overwhelming and frustrating especially when we lose focus.

 

Is there a solution that takes just one minute of our time and can make a world of difference?

As moms, we're bombarded with advice from all angles - including successful men.  Should we really be taking advice from them?

 

Their success is undeniable, and they may make really great points, but can they truly understand the intricacies of motherhood? This dilemma leaves us torn between wanting to benefit from their wisdom and doubting if it truly applies to our lives.

Juggling a million tasks, striving to ensure everything runs smoothly. Constantly worrying if everyone around us is okay. As moms, it’s a heavy burden we carry.

 

The relentless pressure to bear the responsibility for everyone's happiness and well-being is well…exhausting. Does being a mom and a woman mean maintaining control, fixing every problem, keeping everyone happy? No…and the sooner we ...

As moms, there’s a constant pressure to put our maternal identity above everything. Of course, our kids are important, but there’s a lot more to us than that.

 

Our worth isn’t determined solely by how much time we dedicate to our families. Neglecting our other identities and passions can lead to a profound loss and disconnection from ourselves.

As moms, business owners and women, our lives are constantly changing. We grow, discover new interests, and we get bored in our businesses, and we’re left wondering if it’s time to pivot.

 

Now, before we go uprooting everything and making huge changes, we really have to check in with ourselves first. Sometimes what feels like a new direction to shift into is nothing more than a short-term bur...

Every mom struggles with the pressure to be present and connected while also excelling in our businesses.

 

We all want to have it all, but honestly, it can leave us feeling like a rubber band being pulled way too thin. That nagging feeling creeps in – are we doing enough for our families or our careers?

As women, we often find ourselves woven into the company of people who may not be of our choosing. The energy they bring, their perspectives, and their influence can significantly impact our well-being.

 

But what happens when we crave control over the energies we absorb, and want a circle of individuals who truly align with our essence and aspirations?

Whether it’s known to us or not, a ton of our perspectives, behaviors, and triggers are dictated by situations that happened when we were kids.

 

How we show up in our relationships, parenting and even our businesses always tracks back to our childhoods. Some of the things we brush off and label as “just who we are” actually have a lot to do with early family dynamics. Understanding how these ...
