The Boss Mom Podcast

Human beings are naturally social - we enjoy talking to people, getting to know them, and hanging out, so why does social media feel like such a drag?    The reason we experience so much annoyance, cynicism, fear and hesitation around social media has nothing to do with the platforms and the people - it has EVERYTHING to do with our messaging.    In this episode, I'm going to share why we don't en...

If you thought of your business as a person with feelings, needs and dreams, you might just realize that you're guilty of cheating on it. So many of us consider ourselves multi-passionate, but dabbling in multiple things could leave our businesses feeling neglected, which affects what we get out of them. What are the signs that our businesses feel neglected and want to be loved on a little more? H...

When our businesses aren't growing, we're struggling with exactly what we want to say and social media feels hard - the problem lies in our messaging. Our messaging is what gets people to care about what we do, and makes us authentic, intriguing and magnetic. It's the thing that makes someone think, "OMG, this is my person" when they hear what you have to say. If our messaging is in any way wishy-...

Courses are everywhere - everyone's talking about them, offering them and telling entrepreneurs to create them. I get it, the natural progression of knowledge and growth is making a course about it. But before we even think of creating a course, certain things have to be in place because great content isn't enough, even if it's put together beautifully. So what needs to happen before we create a c...

A lot of the messaging we hear in business today is all about fast growth, overnight success, and things falling into place quickly, and we feel bad because we aren't "successful yet". Building a really great business takes time, and that's a good thing. We have to go through multiple iterations to figure out what works, and be the intern in our business before we can be the CEO. If we forced our...

Moms are notorious for letting clutter crowd our space. We rarely feel like we have our own dedicated space in our homes, and we're always looking for a tiny nook and cranny to work and run our businesses. Decluttering isn't just about having a cleaner, more organized house, it's about creating the space that supports our mental and emotional health. How does decluttering put us in creative flow a...

One of the biggest pieces of marketing advice we're given is to put considerable effort towards writing really good content - that the more well-written an email, sales page or website is, the better it is at connecting with people. The truth is, filling pages with content just to tick a box isn't just exhausting, it can also work against us. What matters more than the content is the message and i...

Going viral is something many business owners desire and even chase on social media, but does it actually help you and your business? Of course, going viral can draw more attention to your business, but it doesn't have to be the primary goal behind every piece of content we create. In this episode, I talk about the content that's best for you to create instead of focusing on going viral.   A milli...

If you have daughters, you've had at least one person say that they are going to be difficult in their teenage years. There are so many cultural stereotypes around teenage girls, and I'm tired of people telling me what kind of person my daughter will be. Where does this negativity come from? How do we raise girls who will break this stereotype? In this episode, mother-daughter relationship persona...

I've never been a huge fan of doing our own summit because traditional virtual summits are typically a fire hose of content in your face – a massive amount of stuff that becomes overwhelming and ultimately unused. So, we're reinventing what a virtual summit is known for. In this episode, I share a little about how we're doing things differently so that it's valuable to you when building your own p...

When our partners drive us crazy, we naturally get frustrated, and wait for them to fix themselves - which usually doesn't work. At the same time, we give our children the love and understanding to be different and to grow in their own way. What if we could apply this concept of conscious parenting to our relationships? Instead of thinking about how our partners need to change, we can actually cre...

If you sprained your ankle and you couldn't walk properly, you'd take care of it so you could resume your life. However, when it comes to the pelvic floor, women struggle to do the same. The topic of the pelvic floor is often embarrassing, but if you look closer, it's only embarrassing because people feel it's not normal. Experiencing pelvic floor problems is actually very normal and way more comm...

Is it possible to have babies and successful businesses? Heck yeah, we can do whatever we want, but we can't pretend that there aren't challenges that come with running a business and raising kids. Don't ignore them - embrace them and allow them to exist. The more we acknowledge and lovingly accept the truth of being a parent, the less hard we are on ourselves, and that makes this journey a lot ea...

As entrepreneurs and moms, our lives are made up of future plans, full schedules and urgency, which robs us of the ability to slow down and focus on what really matters. Sometimes it's necessary for us to pump the brakes, get quiet with ourselves and pay attention to what's happening internally. How do we make sure we're not packing our schedules to avoid our real feelings? In this delightful conv...

It often feels like not doing all the things means that we'll miss out, fall short, and fall behind. At the same time, we fail to play big because we don't want to trip and stumble in front of the world. Unfortunately, this makes us fall victim to both shiny object syndrome and getting stuck rather than making progress. In this heartwarming conversation with life coach Deb Blum, we reveal how to s...

How do we raise wonderful, amazing sons if we do not necessarily understand all the things boys go through? First, we need to get away from the idea that boys are simpler. We have to stop thinking that they're not vulnerable, don't get hurt, or have a big emotional life. How do we create a safe space for our boys and ensure we do not box up their emotions? In this episode, Tosha Schore, a mother-s...

In today's world, there's so much information out there and people are too exhausted to implement what they have learned. How do we stand out, hook our audience, and remain in their minds so they can actually take action on what they learn from us? The answer is choosing your one thing and talking about it with a good story. In this episode, 35+ year advertising industry veteran, host of the Busin...

As Boss Moms, we all have these big beautiful goals and things we wish for the world but we get so stuck in the logistics of our lives.

With information so readily available, we see people with no training and experience make it in business coaching and online content, and it begs the question: does integrity matter? If we want to be beacons of hope for our clients and build businesses that make an impact and stand the taste of time, integrity absolutely matters. How people see and perceive our businesses and what they're known fo...

As parents, toys and play are a BIG part of our lives, but we don't often think about what goes into creating, designing and marketing them.

In this episode, brand strategist and StoryBrand Certified Guide, Naomi Gee shares the si...

Being human, a woman and a mom comes with a whole lot of emotions, but we don't often give ourselves the permission to really feel them. When we suppress our feelings, we're hiding from ourselves, and operating without some very important insights. As uncomfortable as it is, learning to embrace our emotions is a life changing act that will create more alignment. How do we get into conversation wit...

Social media often feels like something that diverts our attention and causes us to do more than we need to, but there's no denying that it has value in growing our businesses. The challenge is, there are so many social media trends constantly coming at us, it's hard to know what to take action on, and what we don't need to be paying attention to. How do we identify a trend that's worth following?...

There is no 'right' way to talk about sex with our kids. How we choose to do it is deeply personal, and no one else should ever dictate how we do it. That said, sometimes, hearing how others have done it can be incredibly helpful. The only question is, in a world where it's so easy to be judgmental, where can we actually have those conversations? In this episode, Founder of Sex Ed Rescue, Cath Hak...
