334: What Motherhood Taught Me About Business (The Business Mom Episode I Wish Someone Had Given Me)

About two or three months after my first son was born, I looked at my husband and said: "I literally cannot do my business and motherhood at the same time." I meant it. I was overwhelmed, so in love with this tiny human, and I genuinely just wanted to be a mom. I did not want to think about my business at all. That was almost five years ago. Since then, I've had three kids in four and a half years, never had full-time childcare, and I'm still running the same business I started a decade ago. And I have so much I want to say about what that journey has actually looked like. This is the final episode in my 10 Years of Business series, and I wanted to close it with the most honest conversation I could have: what it actually looks like to build a business through motherhood. Not a highlight reel, and not a "how I do it all" episode (because I truly do not do it all). Just the real stuff that I think too often goes unsaid. I cover four ways motherhood has genuinely changed my business, including one I did not expect, and close with three pieces of advice for moms who are in the thick of it right now. Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or a few years in and still figuring it out, I think this one will really resonate.
