73. Planning for Maternity Leave as a Female Business Owner


Listen Later

When you've poured everything into building your business it's scary to think about what happens when you start a family. What does time off as a female business owner look like? Do I have to sacrifice business for motherhood? How will I make money? What if I lose everything I've built up to now? These are all questions we as female business owners have, and to be honest there is not a lot of information out there to have them answered.

For me, I was terrified that everything I've built over the last 5 years would be jeopardized when starting a family, but over the last year I've been able to plan, pivot and grow my business in a direction that will not only allow me to take a true maternity leave without my businesses take a huge hit, but also head into motherhood less overwhelmed with a business and that feels aligned with my new life.

In today's episode I'm talking about my business pivot and my personal mindset on entrepreneurship and motherhood and then we're diving deep into steps to start preparing your business for maternity leave, whether you're expecting now or in the future.

This is such an important conversation and I'm honored to have it with you. I hope you like this episode as much as I liked creating it!
