This episode will be soul food for you. Cathy Heller and I are discussing the truth about the business journey not from the vantage point of strategy or how-to. But from the heart. From the space of knowing that you are unique and have a purpose here in this world unlike anyone else’s and how to be on that journey of discovery in the most beautiful way. Oh yeah...we’re going deep.

There aren’t that many men that make it into the featured spotlight of the Biz Women Rock podcast interviews - not because I don’t think there are incredible men out there doing great work - but because I’m just so damn committed to spotlighting kick ass women entrepreneurs.

Lily Nichols wrote her first book Real Food for Gestational Diabetes in 2015 with no intention of making money. As a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist and someone who had built a practice helping women through gestational diabetes, she wrote it because she was so desperate to get her revolutionary and evidence based ideas out to a world of moms who needed it.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Kim Garst for quite some time now and this time, the social media diva is having a conversation with me that has nothing to do with social media.

Arianna Taboada is a Maternal Health Consultant for Entrepreneurs and she had been working with moms for quite some time before she herself became pregnant. She helps moms prep for maternity leave, because, let’s face it, there’s no perfect maternity leave formula for those of us who run our own businesses.

Mary Kathryn Johnson has had an online business since 2003. At that time, her sons were young - a toddler and a baby - and she just DID IT ALL. The tech, the fulfillment, the marketing for her online maternity wear store and taking care of her kiddos full time. Fast forward to 2018 and her sons are now 19 and 16 and Mary has two more businesses under her belt.

Jill Stanton and her husband Josh are the creators of the very popular podcast Screw the Nine to Five. Over the past 5 years, they’ve successfully run Screw University, their membership community, put on live events and also provide online courses to help business start up and successfully get out of their 9-5 jobs.

Grace for the Journey. That’s the phrase that kept coming to me during today’s interview with Jaclyn Mellone. She’s the co-host of the podcast All Up In Your Lady Business with Jessica Stansberry, a Marketing and Mindset expert and the creator of her new program, Go To Gal.

Video Marketing, creating schedules that work for you (and are ever evolving) and potty training...we’re talking about it all on today’s episode! Jessica Stansberry is a rock solid “infopreneur” who helps people create video marketing that makes and impact and makes them money! She also has two boys, ages 7 and 5 and is heavy in the “soccer mom” phase!

Everything we experienced in the past helps us in the now. Getting fired from her job, working her business 24-7 with a little baby and experiencing Postnatal Depression (PND), these are the things that Nat Stewart says that helped guide her into a company that she knows to be her purpose.
