This month inside the One Day MBA community event hosted by Len Porcano, I learned about moats — the defenses that protect your business from competitors. In this episode, I share how Calm & Colorful already has natural moats like niche branding, sticky family rituals, and a ripple-driven community, plus how I’m thinking about protecting the mission even as I pivot and adapt. Whether you’re a mama, a business builder, or both, you’ll walk away with practical steps to build your own moat and dream bigger for the future.

In this episode, I share what I learned from a One Day MBA workshop hosted by Juan Linares, that completely reframed how I look at ideas, doubts, and testing in my business.

The big reminder: Don’t talk yourself out of an idea. Test it.

I’ll walk you through the 5 Why’s Forward Framework, the three core questions every idea needs to answer (What problem? For who? Why does it matter?), and why customer discovery matters more than building the “perfect” solution.

You’ll also hear the tension I’m working through — focusing on mamas of toddlers while still feeling pulled to serve all ages and how I’m learning to stay problem-first, not solution-first.

Plus: simple tips you can apply right now to validate your own ideas without overthinking or overbuilding.

Networking doesn’t have to feel like a middle school dance with business cards. In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest takeaways from a recent masterclass — how to skip the awkward small talk, find the right people, and actually enjoy networking (even if you’re not an extrovert).

In this episode, I share how The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick completely changed the way I approach conversations — in business and in my relationships. What started as homework for my very first MBA interview turned into one of the most powerful lessons in connection, trust, and real-life insights.

Instead of pitching or pushing, I’m learning how to ask better questions, listen for stories instead of opinions, and uncover the truths that actually shape Calm & Colorful 2.0. I’ll walk you through my biggest takeaways, how I’m applying them in conversations with mamas, and what’s shifting in my business because of it.

If you’re a business owner, this book is a must-read. And if you’re a mama, I’d love to hear your real-life stories — because they’re the heartbeat of everything I create.

August 2025 — Where It All Began

I never thought I’d be starting an MBA… until one random Instagram scroll changed everything. In this first diary entry, I’m sharing the full backstory of how I went from zero interest to all-in with the One Day MBA program — and why it feels like the perfect fit for Calm & Colorful 2.0.

You’ll hear about the conversations that planted the seed, the advice that grounded me, the moment I applied, and the behind-the-scenes steps I’m taking to prepare before classes start in November. It’s the messy, exciting, real-time start of my journey to becoming more aligned, more sustainable, and more me.
