In this episode, I sit down with my best friend (and soul sister) Karen Mitchell for a raw and real conversation about business, motherhood, and building success on your own terms.

In the first 20 minutes, we dive into the messy middle of making a living while raising young kids. We unpack the biggest misconceptions about success while raising a family and share how to reframe your mindset so you can chase your dreams without the constant pressure of "doing it all."

In the second half, Karen and I shift gears into business strategy, specifically marketing your brand. We reveal the one thing you should absolutely never do when marketing your business—and the one thing every business owner must do if they want to grow with clarity and confidence.

This is an episode full of encouragement, strategy, and the kind of conversation that only happens between two women who know each other inside and out. I may or may not have offended my friend by asking her a question she gets a little uncomfortable with. Are we still friends? Listen to find out!
