The first week of every month, I drop three related episodes for a little mini-series deep dive. This month, we’re talking about the reality of parenting while running a business: the interruptions, the routines, and the tiny windows of focus we protect with our lives. Grab your coffee and dive in. ☕️
Let’s be honest: folding laundry is the least glamorous business task out there—which is why I’m glad to hand the mic to Morgan Specht, military spouse, mom of two, and founder of Specht & Co (https://www.spechtand.co/), who’s here to tackle the real juggling act of running a business while solo parenting (and, yes, trying to find her blow dryer in a house full of moving boxes). If you’ve ever dreamed about outsourcing everyday household chores or wondered how anyone keeps a business afloat when life doesn’t stick to a plan, you’re in the right place.
In this episode, I chat with Morgan about what it’s really like to grow a service-based business while moving bases, navigating solo parenthood, and trying not to lose your client pipeline every time the Wi-Fi changes. We talk practical support and why making friends (even if you’re the world’s biggest introvert) is a business strategy, not just a sanity saver. If you’re crafting a business that suits your ordinary-but-thriving life, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:
Make your business sustainable by being honest about what support you need—inside and outside your business.
Embrace seasons of lower productivity (like moving or solo parenting), and drop the guilt about not “doing it all.”
Build your network, ask for help, and remember: finding your people is half the battle, both in business and in everyday life.
This podcast is for business owners who are tired of hustle culture and want relatable, honest conversations about running a sustainable business that actually works for their life.
