Mom Owned and Operated

In this episode of the Mom Owned and Operated podcast, Rita Suzanne and Rebecca Schor discuss raising a family, running a business and remembering yourself.

Rebecca Schor is a wife, boy Mama, and a passionate photographer turned business coach for Mamas. When Rebecca became a Mama in 2022, she realized just how HARD it was to try to manage ALL of the things as a Mama and entrepreneur.
Determined not to sacrifice precious time with her newborn son (and learning a lot of hard lessons along the way), she meticulously optimized her business, slashing work hours while boosting profitability. This resulted in Rebecca being able to be more present with her son, witnessing all of his special milestones during his first year.
Rebecca continues to strive to build her business around her life, not the other way around and made it her mission to help other Mama entrepreneurs do the same. That is why she founded Mama in Biz in 2024, a community to support Mama business owners with 1-on-1 mentoring, monthly virtual Mama meetups and resources to help you THRIVE in both business and life!

In this episode of the Mom Owned and Operated podcast, Rita Suzanne and Angela Griffith discuss raising a family, running a business and remembering yourself.
A challenger of the status quo and a disruptor of what has always been, Angela Griffith is known as The Christian Sexpert to her thousands of social media followers. She has dedicated over 20 years to the study of human sexuality and God's design for sex. Her passion is coaching women to discover a healthier relationship with their God-given sexuality.
Angela's relationship with Jesus started at age 19 and while she wasn't raised in purity culture, she did get a heaping helping of it at college after her salvation experience. She has a unique perspective on how purity culture impacts marriages. She uses social media as a way to change the narrative from inside the house. She sees the damage of purity culture but knows that God tells us He wants us to have abundance in all areas of our lives – including sex.
She is a sex and intimacy coach and uses her social media platform to provide the sex education you wish you had received. She has created multiple products designed to improve the sexual and non-sexual intimacies in your marriage. She will have you reaching for pearls to clutch, make you laugh, make you blush, and make you search your Bible, asking, “Is she serious? It really says THAT?”
She and her husband have one child. She is a leader for the international women’s ministry Natural Christian Mommas, a homeschool mom, a lover of all things glitter, and ready to set you on a new path with your husband, telling you to, “Go have good sex!”
You can connect with Angela on her website, on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.

In this episode of the Mom Owned and Operated podcast, Rita Suzanne and Jessica Kostrzewski discuss raising a family, running a business and remembering yourself.
Jessica Kostrzewski specializes in coaching moms on how to put themselves first. As a mother, wife, and another female walking this earth, she found that she was always putting herself last; last to eat, last to sleep, and last to have a self-care day. Jessica, like most moms, thought it came with the job. As a wife, she just wanted her husband to be happy, and as a woman, she found that society easily let her stand in the back row. No More!
At the beginning of motherhood, Jessica struggled with controlling her emotions, being fully present with herself and her children, juggling stress, and feeling burned out almost every night, and worse she was gaining weight and developing diseases.
Her cup was empty, and she felt hopeless like maybe she was a bad mom.
When Jessica's beautiful daughter hit her teens, she started struggling just as she was. She noticed her moods were low. She was not dealing with her stress in healthy ways and how could she?
She never taught her, heck Jessica was never taught how to have...
Self-Compassion, Self-Regulation, or Self-Care.
Learn how to fill your cup first so you can teach the next generation how to do it for themselves. One of the biggest lessons she learned as a coach is you can only bring your client as far as you have gone; what about parenting? Jessica found this also to be true.
You can find Jessica on her website, Instagram, Facebook and her Facebook Group.
