MOMMA'S MAKING COMMA'S

Income Shouldn’t Depend on You Being Available 24/7

In this episode of Mommas Making Commas, I sit down with Lindsey Korell — an operations strategist and former COO — for a conversation every woman building income needs to hear.

Lindsey’s story is powerful and sobering.

After experiencing a heart attack, Lindsey was forced to step away from her business completely. And in that moment, she realized something terrifying but all too common:
👉 when she wasn’t working, her business wasn’t making money.
Instead, debt was piling up and everything depended on her being “on.”

That wake-up call changed everything.

In this episode, we talk honestly about:

  • Why so many women unknowingly build businesses that rely entirely on their presence

  • How control can feel like safety — but actually becomes the biggest risk

  • Why income tied to your constant effort isn’t sustainable long term

  • What it really means to build a business that can support retirement, selling, or stepping back

  • Why documenting and sharing standard operating procedures (SOPs) isn’t corporate fluff — it’s freedom

One of the biggest takeaways?
If your business can’t run without you, you don’t own a business — you own a very demanding job.

Lindsey shares how systems, structure, and clear decision paths don’t remove your power — they protect your health, your family, and your future.

This conversation is especially for women who:

  • Want income but not at the cost of their health

  • Feel like everything depends on them

  • Dream of stepping back someday — without everything falling apart

  • Know deep down that “doing it all” isn’t the answer anymore
