Is perfectionism keeping you stuck? If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time, post, launch, or plan—this episode is for you!

I know firsthand how perfectionism can feel productive, but in reality, it’s just procrastination in disguise. It took me six months to launch my podcast because I convinced myself I needed a perfect video format (spoiler: I didn’t). And for years, I held back from growing my own Instagram because I obsessed over the tiniest details.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why perfectionism is secretly procrastination in disguise
• How imperfect action builds confidence and momentum
• My personal struggles with overthinking & fear of failure
• The two best strategies to break free from perfection paralysis

Boss Mama, the world doesn’t need your perfect ideas—it needs your action. So, are you ready to take messy, imperfect action and start seeing real progress? Let’s do this! 🚀

👋 WHO AM I?

Hey, I'm Manouchka Elefant, a business coach for mompreneurs with 15+ years in marketing and a specialization in positive psychology. After becoming a mom, I quickly realized that building a business with kids in the mix takes more than ambition. It takes clear strategy, honest support, and the kind of accountability that helps you actually follow through.

That's what led me to create Hey Boss Mama, a space where we talk honestly about business, motherhood, mindset, and what it really takes to stop doubting and start executing. If you're into real talk, smarter marketing, and support that helps you keep moving forward, hit follow for the latest Hey Boss Mama episodes.

I'm based in Switzerland, coaching mompreneurs everywhere English is spoken.

🚨 Why should the men get all the fun?

If you’re tired of watching other people show up boldly while you keep putting visibility off, Cringe to Confident: 5 Days to Stop Hiding and Start Showing Up will help you clarify your message and start showing up in a way that feels real, clear, and doable.

What if the quickest way to feel calmer, steadier, and more present is something you already have with you all day?

Grace Chinn helps women, especially moms, use breathwork to regulate stress, reconnect with themselves, and move through motherhood with more resilience, and in this episode we talk about simple breathing tools, emotional regulation, and what it looks like to build a business in the messy reality of early motherhood.

What Grace shares:

• How breathwork became a lifeline when motherhood, exhaustion, and zero village left her overstimulated and overwhelmed
• The difference between simple everyday breathwork for stress relief and deeper breathwork that helps you process what is sitting underneath the stress
• How she uses breathwork with her own daughter to support big emotions, regulation, and reconnection

This stuck with me:

When Grace says, “change how you breathe, change how you feel.” That is such a powerful reminder for mompreneurs because when everything feels intense, breathwork gives you a way to interrupt the stress response and come back to yourself before the day completely runs away with you.

What if you are exhausted not because you have too much to do, but because you are carrying too much that was never yours to manage in the first place?

Myth: If you want things done properly, you need to keep track of everything, manage everyone, and hold it all together yourself.

Truth: A lot of the pressure mompreneurs feel comes from trying to control things that are not actually theirs to control. The Let Them mindset helps you drop that extra weight and put your energy back where it belongs.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• What the Let Them mindset actually means and why it matters so much for mom entrepreneurs
• How to use it with your kids, your partner, your business, and other people’s opinions
• What you can control instead: what you do, what you say, and how you respond

What I want you to remember:

You do not need to waste your limited energy managing everyone else’s reactions, choices, or way of doing things. Your real power is in what you do next, how you speak to yourself, and how you respond when life does not go to plan.

Can you really build a business around motherhood without sacrificing your income, your ambition, or your sanity?

Tala Hershey is a pediatric speech pathologist and the founder of Hershey Therapy Practice, and in this episode we talk about what changed when motherhood collided with private practice, why flexibility on paper is not always freedom in real life, and how she is rebuilding her business model to support both her family and her work.

What Tala shares:

• Why running a private practice as a mom did not feel as flexible as it looked from the outside
• How she shifted from one-to-one services into parent coaching to create a business model with more freedom and less pressure
• What she has learned about delegation, systems, and building support behind the scenes instead of trying to carry everything alone

This stuck with me:

When Tala talks about the resentment that can show up when you are trying to mother, work, and hold everything together at once, especially when the tiny pocket of time you were counting on disappears. That is such a real and important truth for mompreneurs, because so much guilt comes from pretending we should be able to do it all calmly when the setup itself is often unsustainable.

Working solo doesn’t mean you should feel lonely. If you’re struggling as a mompreneur, this one shift will make all the difference!

How do you build a business that actually supports you when motherhood and entrepreneurship can both feel so isolating?

In this episode, I’m talking about the community piece most mompreneurs are missing, why trying to do everything alone makes growth harder than it needs to be, and how the right support system can change both your business and your day-to-day life.

What you’ll walk away with:

• Why isolation can quietly affect your growth, motivation, and mental health
• What a strong community really gives you, from accountability to perspective to encouragement
• Practical ways to start finding your people, both online and in real life

This stuck with me:

Starting Hey Boss Mama came from my own need for connection. I did not just want more business advice. I wanted to hear from other women who were in the trenches too, figuring out motherhood, ambition, and real life at the same time.

Next step:

Share this episode with a mompreneur who has been trying to hold too much on her own.

How do you protect your energy when motherhood, business, and the mental load all keep asking for more?

Anna Lianna-Monnier helps women care for their emotional health more intentionally, and in this episode we talk about what burnout can look like in real life, why self-care has to go deeper than quick fixes, and how to stop running on empty while trying to hold everything together.

What Anna shares:

• How becoming a mom, supporting a child with health needs, and going through burnout twice completely changed the way she approached work, rest, and self-care
• Why burnout is not always obvious at first
• How asking for help, getting honest about your needs, and protecting small moments of rest can help you care for yourself without guilt.

This stuck with me:

When Anna says that no one can be mom to your child. That really puts things back into perspective. For mompreneurs, it is such an important reminder that losing momentum in business for a season does not mean you are failing. Sometimes it means you are honoring what matters most right now, and that is a form of wisdom, not weakness.

Feeling overwhelmed because motherhood, business, and mental load all seem to be competing for your already limited time?

Today’s episode is a reset for mompreneurs who feel like they are constantly juggling, constantly reacting, and never quite catching up.

Your reset starts here:

• Why overwhelm is not just about having too much to do, but about carrying too much without the right systems
• What shifted for me when motherhood completely changed the way I could work and plan my time
• 5 practical ways to feel less scattered, protect your focus, and create more breathing room in your week

What I want you to remember:

Good time management is not about cramming more into your day. It is about reducing mental clutter, protecting your energy, and creating more space for what actually matters.

How do you reconnect with yourself when motherhood changes your body, your pace, your business, and the way you experience desire?

Stephanie Hickey is a sex, love, and relationship coach who helps women take radical self-responsibility for their pleasure, happiness, and relationships, and in this episode we talk about desire, people-pleasing, motherhood, and the slow, honest work of rediscovering who you are now.

What Stephanie shares:

• Why motherhood can force a full rediscovery of your body, your desires, and the woman you are becoming
• How pleasure is not only about sex, but about presence, self-connection, and learning to notice what actually feels good
• Why women who do not know what they desire often struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, and making space for themselves

This stuck with me:

When Stephanie said that some women stop even asking themselves what they desire after becoming mothers. That landed hard, because so many mompreneurs are not just rebuilding a business after baby, they are rebuilding their relationship with themselves.

Why did this podcast need to exist now?

In this very first episode, I’m sharing the story behind Hey Boss Mama, how motherhood completely changed the way I work, and why I felt such a strong need to create a space where mompreneurs could connect, feel less alone, and grow with more support.

What you’ll walk away with:

• Why becoming a mom changed not just my schedule, but my identity, ambitions, and business priorities
• How Hey Boss Mama grew from a podcast idea into a bigger mission around community, support, and shared growth
• Why overwhelm and isolation are such common threads for mompreneurs, even when things look good from the outside

This stuck with me:

I did not just want to hear more business advice. I wanted real conversations with other mom entrepreneurs who understood what it actually feels like to build something while raising a child and carrying the mental load that comes with it.

Next step:

Join the Hey Boss Mama Facebook group and come connect with other mompreneurs who are figuring this out too.
