What happens when becoming a mother forces you to question everything you thought success was supposed to look like?

In this episode, I sit down with business strategist Jereshia Hawk for an honest conversation about how pregnancy, grief, and preparing for motherhood completely reshaped the way she approaches business, wealth, and leadership.

Jereshia is known for helping high-earning CEOs scale with precision and intention. She built a seven-figure net worth solely from business profits and was once focused on growth, efficiency, and expansion at all costs. But as she prepared to become a mother, she realized something profound:

The business that helped her succeed would not necessarily be the business that could hold her through motherhood.

Together, Cait and Jereshia explore what it really means to build a business that evolves with your life not one that demands you sacrifice yourself to sustain it.

Tune in to hear:

• How preparing for motherhood changed Jereshia's definition of success

• Why she intentionally re-engineered her business before having a baby

• The emotional and nervous-system capacity required to hold both growth and grief

• Why many women scale businesses that can't support their next life season

• How identity, visibility, and safety impact messaging and leadership

• The unseen grief that surfaces during pregnancy and major life transitions

• Why true sustainability means your business must flex with every season

• How profit should fund presence, not replace it

• What it looks like to scale down strategically without losing momentum

• How entrepreneurship can become a vehicle for healing, not just income
