714: Motherhood and Margins: Having a Baby While Running a Business


Listen Later

3:31.1: I turned 40 a week after my daughter turned one. So I currently have a 19-month-old at age 40 which most people would say is super old. I actually love it.

5:02.8: I honestly think that women's healthcare after having a baby is ridiculous. The fact that they talk about baby blues and postpartum depression and anxiety and rage and all of that, like only being up to eight weeks after 12 weeks after you give birth, like. Oh, no way.


6:31.3: I think the motivation to want to work after you have a baby is also not always high for people. 


9:29.4: Focus on how you wanna grow your family. Because growing your family could happen in a lot of different ways, and it's gonna happen how it's meant to happen. So just focus on growing your family and that really reframed my headspace.


16:27.5: I didn't realize how tough recovering would be, regardless of how you choose to feed your baby.


20:01.4: I am still running a business, and that business is the backbone of our family. Like this business financially supports our family. My husband does not have a traditional job. Like a nine-to-five job. So in a lot of ways that's great because he has time to help. He has time to, he's with her 30 hours a week right now because we don't have, we're not doing daycare yet.


21:21.7: In a lot of ways, having a business has really helped me. Be a mom managing everything, whether it's like nap schedules, food, bottle choices, toys, clothes like knowing that she's hitting her milestones, all that stuff.


23:16.8: Like you're gonna have those days like you just are, and the added pressure of having a business and feeling motivated to work on your business it's a balance. I think having flexibility in more ways than one is gonna serve you so much better.


27:16.2: When you have a business and you've started one and you grow one and, You have so much ability to adjust it, and I think what you have to do is give yourself the permission to adjust it and pivot and figure things out.


29:52.2: I think you have to allow yourself to pivot to what's gonna work for you now. Because like you said, what used to work doesn't necessarily work. So what is gonna work for you?


32:41.2: It does get a little easier in some ways, but also again, harder in other ways because now she's also a runner.
