Ep #81: When you are a business person, it’s difficult to find a balance between these two things. You learn to prioritize and sometimes end up feeling guilty that you don’t have time to spend with your family or your business doesn’t bring many results and needs more attention.

In this episode, Dana Malstaff shares how to manage a business and have a family without being overwhelmed.

We’ll go together through the questions on how to manage a business when you are a parent, how to delegate your work, and how to spend quality time with your family.

Dana is the CEO and Founder of Boss Mom. She is a mother, author, speaker, business strategist, podcaster, blind spot reducer, and movement maker. 

She launched the Boss Mom brand with her first book Boss Mom: The Ultimate Guide to Raising a Business & Nurturing Your Family Like a Pro and quickly grew to a six-figure business within a year.

Now she has over 20k students in various courses that help women all over the world raise their businesses and babies at the same time.
