Is it just me or could our relationship be the plotline of the next Hallmark movie? 🤔

In today's episode, we're dishing out the juicy details of my personal relationship with Grayson, and how we managed to get back together with the help of therapy! We share our past experiences, from how we first got together to how we separated, lived together as exes, had more kids, and recently changed our Facebook status to "in a relationship"!

We also delve into our experiences with co-parenting and couples counselling, which proved to be a key component in keeping our sanity during a time of great change in our lives. Between starting and growing my business to welcoming our third child, this past year has been filled with its fair share of ups and downs. Thankfully, effective communication and learning to work together has truly made all the difference!

As mothers, we are comfortable with the everyday juggling of multiple hats: chef, cleaner, taxi driver, teacher and so on. We routinely manage our day-to-day lives without batting an eye yet suddenly face anxiety and uncertainty when we consider taking up many hats for business purposes: social media manager, accountant or sales director perhaps? These roles can all require significant guidance and direction which may seem daunting at first glance.

It's time to acknowledge that parenting and leadership have a lot in common. Running a business is very similar to running a household. You need a routine to create consistency, you have to establish habits to grow in the right direction and you need to develop relationships with your clients the same way you would with your kids. Brittany is joined by Kristina Schmitt from TAC to discuss how they blend their skills and habits in one area to positively impact the other. Ready to switch from mom mode to CEO and back with ease? Hear how Brittany and Kristina achieved success with their business while still managing motherhood. Listen in as they discuss the messiness of making it all work together!
