Parent guilt and business guilt: two sides of the same coin that every parentpreneur knows all too well. In today’s episode of Caffeinated Chaos, we dive into the push and pull between these two powerful forces. Whether it's the societal pressure to be the "perfect parent" or the relentless hustle of building a business, guilt can feel like an ever-present companion. But here's the truth—guilt is rooted in care, and that's a strength, not a flaw. 

I’ll share five actionable steps to help you break the cycle of guilt, set boundaries, and define success on your terms. Because at the end of the day, your kids don’t need perfection—they need you, and your business doesn’t need a flawless CEO—it just needs someone who shows up.

Grab your coffee and let’s embrace the chaos—caffeinated, of course! 

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

1. What parent guilt and business guilt are—and why they hit hard.
