Life, Business and Everything in Between

EP 01: The Why Behind the Mic


Listen Later

Welcome to the very first episode of Life, Business & Everything In Between. In this inaugural conversation, host Leslie Shields sits down with her friend Kaitlin for an honest, behind-the-scenes look at the real journey of entrepreneurship, motherhood, and leadership — long before the highlight reel.

Leslie opens up about launching a business while raising a child, navigating self-doubt, and learning how vulnerability can actually become a strength. Together, they explore why community matters, how mindset shapes growth, and why small wins deserve to be celebrated.

This episode sets the tone for the podcast — real talk, real stories, and the “in-between” moments we don’t talk about enough.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • The founder’s story behind the podcast
  • Balancing business growth and personal life
  • Motherhood’s impact on leadership and priorities
  • Why vulnerability builds stronger communities
  • Celebrating progress instead of chasing perfection

If you’re an entrepreneur, parent, leader, or someone navigating change, this episode will meet you right where you are.
