184: Balancing Motherhood and Business: a 6-Month-Old, a Toddler and My Biggest Launch Ever
09/30/24 • 30 min
Imagine this: toting a baby around while having your most successful launch in your 10 years in business. Sounds like a wild dream, right? Well, six months into juggling a new-born and a thriving business, I’m living proof that it’s possible.
In this episode, I’m sharing the real-deal insights of living this beautiful, chaotic dream *chaotic being the key word*. If you’re thinking about balancing a thriving business with the joys (and chaos) of motherhood, I'd be honoured to share some of my experience with you.
Six months into this mum-of-two life, I've had some big realisations. Imagine finishing a presentation at 11pm the night before you're presenting it to the biggest online audience of your life, with a 4 month old you'll then be up feeding during the night—yep, that happened—and it was amazing!
We’ll chat about why I chose the stay-at-home mum and biz owner combo, and I'll share some critical questions I’ve been asking myself to make sure my business stays sustainable—things like limiting client intakes and re-evaluating my social media strategy.
To all the business mothers (and mothers-to-be) out there, this episode is for you!
