Are you a stay-at-home mom or a working mom who feels the need to change and empower herself? Do you want to enhance some of your passions or maybe share some of your skills with other moms?

As women, we were created versatile and we honestly don’t have to do the same thing like being a stay-at-home mom without trying out some other exciting things. It is important that you give yourself permission to be who you are by empowering yourself as both a woman and a mom.

On the show today, we have Kerry Glanz and Lee Genung, the co-founders of the Modern-Day Village. This is an online marketplace for women to create meaningful and flexible work and to find and hire the help they need. Kerry was a stay-at-home mom for 20 years, and it was then that she recognized the value of the skills and interests and founded Modern-Day Village. Lee pivoted in her career to be more flexible after having kids, and she’s now thrilled to provide a service and create a community she wishes she had her whole career.

Listen in to learn the importance of letting go of what you can’t do as a mom to take care of your mental wellbeing. You will also learn how the Modern-Day Village platform works and how you can become part of the community.

“Surround and encourage yourself to do things that you love and that you’re good at and understand that you’re not going to be good at everything.”- Lee [18:28]
