  • How to Run Your Agency While Being a Present Mom
    2024/11/21

    Moms can have it all, but we don’t have to DO it all.

    Mom guilt hits HARD when you’re running a business and raising kids. It’s like no matter what you do, something feels like it’s falling through the cracks. But here’s the thing: moms can absolutely have it all, just not by doing it all. Prioritizing what matters most to you and outsourcing the rest? That’s the real win.

    In this week’s episode, I’m sharing seven practical tips for balancing the chaos of motherhood with the demands of running a business. It’s not about being perfect or always getting it right—it’s about making intentional choices that work for you.

    From leaning on your team (delegation is magic!), letting yourself operate in maintenance mode when needed, or learning to drop the guilt and give yourself some grace, these tips are here to meet you where you are.

    I know you’re figuring it out day by day, and I’m here to help you create a business that works for your family and your big dreams. Because trust me, you can do both.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    ➡️ How to get the most out of naptimes and pumping sessions.
    ➡️ Why leaning on your team is a total game-changer (and how to get comfortable with it).
    ➡️ The beauty of letting maintenance mode be enough for now.
    ➡️ How to finally ditch mom guilt—and why it’s not serving you.
    ➡️ The mindset shift that makes school hours your superpower.
    ➡️ What to do when your agency passion feels MIA
    ➡️ And why giving yourself grace is the best gift you can give yourself as a mom and entrepreneur
