Transparency & My Goals for Season 2

12/19/22 • 10 min

This is a bittersweet episode for me – the last of Season 1.
Today I want to talk about something that’s very loud for me. It’s been at the forefront of a lot of the decisions I’m making – or, to be honest, putting off making. How do you navigate building something that doesn’t make any money?
I’ve asked my guests what advice they have for someone who’s IN IT right now – or who aspires to create something for themselves. What I’ve heard: Patience is key. Trust the timeline. Have an abundance mindset.
Which makes sense, but when you’re in the thick of it, it feels really hard. Sometimes even impossible. I share this because the goal of this podcast right now is to create a community, to let other mothers know they’re not alone.
Over the next few months, we’ll be highlighting the amazing content and guests from season one. Season 2 is on track to begin March 2023!Resources & Links

Just Start Now

This time of year, there’s so much pressure to be better.
There’s a whole industry that capitalizes on personal growth and change, and in December, there’s so much focus on goal setting with this “new year, new you” idea.
Now, I’m not saying you should rest on your laurels and sit here indefinitely. But movement forward should be honoring you and your life, not driven through “shoulds” or comparisons.
That way, we’re INTENTIONAL about the choices we make and the goals we set instead of getting wrapped up in the pressure to make big changes during this holiday period.

Creating The Everyday Mother with Jackie Mangiolino

One of the things that has supported me most, especially in those first few months after having my baby, is The Everyday Mother Tracker, a journal that helped my husband and I track feeds, diapers, sleep, and everything in between in one organized place. Because of this, I’m so honored to have its creator, Jackie Mangiolino, on the podcast today. Jackie’s baby boy was born 14 weeks premature and spent 99 days in the NICU, which is where The Everyday Mother was born. In our conversation, Jackie shares her story of not only becoming a mom (and how it differed so much from what she imagined for herself), but starting a business with a newborn. Jackie is honest and raw about her postpartum season as well as the ebbs and flow of being a business owner. If you’re a mom or soon-to-be mom, and you’re thinking of starting or finally going full time with your business, this episode is a must listen.
