👋 WHO AM I?

Hey, I’m Manouchka — a marketing coach who built a new business in the cracks of motherhood. After becoming a mom, I knew I couldn’t go back to business as usual. I needed a way to grow with clarity, purpose, and limited time. That journey led to Hey Boss Mama — a podcast, a community, and a movement for mompreneurs who want to grow with strategy and joy.

If you’re craving real talk, smart marketing, and tools to juggle life and business — you’re in the right place! 💪

Feeling tempted to shut down your business because year one feels messy, slow, and nothing like the highlight reels?

This episode is a grounded check-in for mom entrepreneurs who are wondering if it’s time to quit—or if they’re simply exhausted and need a different approach.

What you’ll learn

1. Why most businesses need more than 12 months to gain traction (especially with babies and toddlers in the mix)
2. Key questions to ask yourself before you decide to quit
3. How motherhood changes your energy, time and capacity—and why straight comparison with other founders isn’t fair
4. A simple way to think about branding beyond “just a logo” so your whole client experience feels cohesive and intentional

About our guest

Rebecca Farley, founder of branding studio Sugar Branded, is a mum of two with over 10 years in marketing and branding. She started her studio at eight months pregnant, has supported clients featured in Vogue, Grazia and Harper’s Bazaar, and has built her business while navigating postpartum, burnout and a relationship breakdown.

If this conversation helps you pause instead of panic-quit, hit follow on Hey Boss Mama and share it with a mom friend who’s in the thick of year one.

Ever feel like motherhood broke you... but also woke you up to your own power?

Meet Sami Garrett — mom of two and founder of Good Enough Matrescence, a motherhood resource library that helps moms go from burned out to beautifully real.

In this honest and energizing conversation, Sami and I talk about how she turned her own postpartum rage, identity crisis, and creative block into a business built on healing and empowerment. We dive into the rollercoaster of early motherhood, the messy pivot into entrepreneurship, and how mindset shifts and inner child work became her most powerful business tools.

Here's what we cover:

• Why burnout and rage aren’t just personal failures — they’re red flags
• How “nothing f**ing matters” (in the best way) became her favorite mantra
• The difference between healing yourself and fixing yourself
