In this episode, we talk to Ellen Marie Bennett, founder of Hedley & Bennett, cook, author, and Mom! Together, Shira and Ellen talk about the challenges of being a parent that has multiple jobs and responsibilities and the importance of finding balance. Ellen shares her own experience of trying to do too much and learning to say no, and talks about the support she receives from her husband and her team at work. Shira also emphasizes the need to be okay with disappointing others in order to prioritize self-care and mental health. This conversation highlights the evolving priorities and identity shifts that come with becoming a parent and offers practical tips for finding grounding amidst the demands of work and family life. Are you a mother with a day job or a business to run? We’d love to hear any stories where you feel you succeeded or even struggled. You’re not alone, and we love hearing from you. DM Shira on Instagram  or tell us your thoughts via an Apple Podcast review.
