Both/And Motherhood

What would you actually want—for your business, your family, your whole life—if nobody else was watching? In this episode, I'm planning my own summer in real time and walking you through the EXACT process I use to figure that out. We'll reflect, look at the real data, and map out a season that's built around YOUR actual life—not someone else's expectations. Grab a yummy drink and plan alongside me...

Somewhere between the pneumonia, the sinus infections, and honestly just the state of the world — three months passed. And I had done almost none of what I planned. And I'm still so fucking proud of my growth—both personally and professionally. Say what now?! In this episode I'm doing my full honest season review: what I wrote down in December, what actually happened, what didn't, and what it all...

Okay friends, real talk. The world feels heavy right now. Like really heavy. And if you're a mom trying to figure out what the hell to say to your kids about what's happening with ICE, immigration, the current US administration, and honestly just... everything... while also trying to run your business and keep your own nervous system from completely short-circuiting—I see you. I’m right there with...

One of the realities about being called to both of these is that our capacity (both mentally and actual time) is often very limited. And I’m no different! Especially in this season of single motherhood. So there’s no fancy show notes written, and I didn’t get this up as quickly as I’d have liked. But I’m walking my talk. And done is better than perfect. ;) This conversation has been coming up a lo...

You crave rest, time freedom, spaciousness, and to be able to actually do things you want to do. (Both with your kids and without.) After all, doesn’t it seem like that’s what you’re supposed to get when you run your own business?! But in reality, you never take that time. Or if you do, you feel so horribly guilty or even shameful that you don’t enjoy it and rarely do it again. Especially if your...

If you’ve had clients leave, felt like selling seemed to get harder, and/or noticed a significant revenue drop in the last year, you’re not alone. (But so many of you feel like you are!) This is something I’m seeing and hearing come up A LOT this year with clients, peers, and even mentors from coaching to done-for-you services like VA/OBM and podcast management. So let’s talk about it! That’s why...

In the last episode I talked about how I built my first business, left my career in medicine, and built it up to a podcast agency with a team of 11 making consistent $25k+ months in revenue.  AND I shared on an IG story recently that I’ve currently got 5 part time gigs going on to add up to one full time income, including my podcast business. I’ve shared publicly that my first business is dow...

If you’re working on growing your business so you can leave a job that keeps you away from home and have more freedom to be home full time with your little(s)—especially if you have to work full time in that job to pay the bills or because there is no part time option in your current career—this one’s for you, babe.  I’ve been there and in this episode I’m sharing my story of how and why I bu...

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the last 6 years as a mom and entrepreneur dedicated to working in part time hours is that planning ahead for what you need and want to get done in your business (and life!) is so so helpful if you want to make the most of the time you do have to work towards your goals. AND. I also have learned that if you try to map out every minute of every day and h...

It's been a hot minute since my last episode as single mama summer summered this year, ;) but school starts back up tomorrow and I'm BACK! In this episode, I'm sharing what we’ve been up to this summer and a big new change in how I show up online and share value (as well as market) for my business. And I'm breaking down what that looks like, what it means for the podcast, and why I'm making the sw...

When you’re really working to create the life you desire in your personal life, motherhood, individuality, and business, yes, strategy IS an important piece there. But another BIG piece is mindset. But when you’re overwhelmed, sleep deprived, under-resourced, or schedules change unexpectedly…it’s natural to slip into a not so positive headspace—even if you consider yourself a pretty positive perso...

Sure, you may have started your business with the idea of being your own boss or making more money or just trying to figure out how to work from home. But I’m willing to bet that it was actually the desire for FREEDOM of some sort that was underneath your path here. Sound true?  Maybe it was the freedom to do something just for you, to work around your kids, to make money for yourself so that...

Your motherhood is a huge part of who you are and the life that you live, and it’s also important to YOUR humans in your audience.

I’m guessing you started your business because you, too, wanted to get to actually BE there and experience your life, right? For your kids, for your relationships, and for yourself. And you’ve probably figured out that you don’t magically get a sense of balance, freedom, and spaciousness just because you have your own business (in fact, I often see it feel the other way around at first!) BUT it IS...

If so, you sooo aren’t alone.   We ALL get in...
