Building a business is one thing—doing it while navigating pregnancy and motherhood is another. In this episode of The Dietitian Success Podcast, I sit down with dietitian and entrepreneur Olivia Cupido to chat about the realities of growing a business while raising a family.

Olivia shares:

1. How she started and scaled her private practice (and why she ditched one-off sessions for packages)
2. The unexpected challenges of working through pregnancy—and the moment she realized she had to slow down
3. How she structured her maternity leave and came back stronger than ever
4. The biggest mindset shift she had to make when balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship
5. Why setting work-life boundaries has been a game-changer for her business and family

If you're an entrepreneur (or future entrepreneur!) wondering how to juggle business and motherhood—or just want a candid, inspiring conversation—this episode is a must-listen!
