If you're anything like me, when it comes to numbers, money and expenses... it's not your favorite thing to think about! Well, lucky for you and me, I brought my good friend Stacey Isetta to talk all about taxes, money and expenses in your business because it is HER thing!

Stacey stepped away from her corporate career as a Financial Analyst at Kendall-Jackson Winery to be home with her children, both under the age of 13 months. She and her husband started what would become a multi-seven figure technology construction company in the San Francisco Bay Area. For the last 18 years, while raising their three beautiful kiddos, Stacey brought her financial and leadership skills to their women-owned family business to grow and scale it to what it is today. Stacey loves family game nights, travel, food, gatherings with friends and golf with her husband.

Building a business is not an easy ride, and there have been tremendous ups and downs in her journey. Stacey is here to share with us the power of planning for the money side of our business ventures so that we can create a strong foundation and have a plan for success as we step out into our new roles – Freelancers to CEOs

In this episode, you will learn:

  • What's the best way to make your business official
  • The difference between sole proprietor, LLC and S-Corp
  • How to organize your money for your business
  • What you need when it comes time for taxes
  • Stacey's best advice for how to look at your money

Building a business while also trying to be a great mom, wife, friend is tough! I don't know about you, but I have struggled with "mom guilt" from time to time over that last few years of building my business. I have wondered, "Am I doing enough for my kids?" or "What if I need to get a sitter to help?" Does that make me a bad mom? I know some of my listeners have also felt this way and that's why I wanted to bring my dear friend Emily on the podcast today to talk about how we can navigate these feelings, how to not let them hold us back, and also how we can be both mom and business owner and not feeling guilty 24/7. If you've been struggling, this episode is for you, mama!

Emily Whipple is the creator of Ugly Honest, a mom blog that shares both her and other mamas' experiences with postpartum depression and anxiety. She made the leap from teaching first graders to empowering other mamas after she had her second baby. You'll most likely find her at the beach, sneaking breaks from building sandcastles with her two kids to catch up with the Ugly Honest community over on facebook.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Emily's journey after pregnancy and navigating postpartum depression
  • Why she decided to start the Ugly Honest community
  • The difference between shame and guilt
  • Juggling motherhood and building a business
  • How the Ugly Honest community benefits moms in all the stages
