If you're juggling nap time with Zoom calls or sneaking in podcast time while pushing a stroller, this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest transformations of my life—becoming a mom while running a business. From identity shifts and emotional unlearning to redefining success entirely, I share what no one prepares you for when you're both a mother and a founder.

You'll hear:

• The messy and magical reality of raising babies and building a business

• The identity shift that rocked me—and how I grew from it

• 5 things motherhood has taught me that made me a better business owner

• Why simplifying, setting boundaries, and trusting your intuition are essential CEO skills

• How I’ve redefined success around presence, purpose, and personal fulfillment

Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, years into motherhood, or dreaming of a future with both a family and a thriving business—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to choose. This is your permission slip to do both, in your own way.
