What if “doing more” isn’t the answer?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the hustle habits I had to unlearn after becoming a mom for the second time — and how motherhood actually made me a smarter, more intentional entrepreneur.

Because the truth is?

Motherhood didn’t kill my ambition — it sharpened it.

But in order to scale my business without sacrificing my sanity (or my sleep), I had to stop doing everything… and start doing the right things.

If you’ve been burning the candle at both ends trying to “do it all” and still falling behind — this is your permission slip to build a better way.

Inside this episode, we’ll cover:

✔️ What the hustle trap looks like before motherhood (and why it works... until it doesn't)

✔️ How having baby #2 forced me to radically shift how I operate

✔️ The 3 core mindset + strategy shifts that gave me my time and freedom back

✔️ A behind-the-scenes look at how I automated my client journey to run without me

✔️ How to finally build a business that fits your life, not the other way around

Ready to Baby Proof your business?

If you’re craving space, simplicity, and the kind of freedom that actually feels good — I built something for you.

Inside Baby Proof, I walk you through the exact system I use to automate my sales, delivery, and content — so your business keeps running when life gets hectic.

Feeling stuck trading hours for dollars — with no white space left on your calendar?

If you’re a service-based mompreneur who’s booked out but burnt out, this episode is your wake-up call.

In today’s episode of Moms Who Mean Business, I’m pulling back the curtain on the three game-changing shifts I made to scale my business beyond 1:1 work — and finally build a backend that banks without burning me out.

I’ll walk you through exactly how I went from being glued to the backend of other people’s businesses… to building a system that brings in leads, nurtures them, and sells my offers on autopilot — all while I’m at the ballfield or being present with my babies.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I want more freedom — but I need the income”
• “I don’t know how to shift from retainer work to leveraged offers”
• “Every time I rest, my revenue disappears”

This episode will feel like a deep exhale.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your time is not your most valuable product — and what is
• How to productize your brilliance and sell it on repeat
• The exact backend system I use to generate sales while I’m offline (with a toddler on my hip)

This episode is for you if:

• You’re a service provider, coach, or freelancer stuck in the hourly hustle
• You want to make passive income without creating 10 new offers
• You’re ready to scale your business without sacrificing your role as a mom

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the word “systems” because it felt cold, complicated, or just plain boring — this one’s for you, mama.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I made systems sexy AF in my business.

We’re talking about automation, scalable sales, and building a backend that runs even when you’re at baseball practice, deep in bedtime routine, or soaking up the last days of summer.

This isn’t tech for tech’s sake.
This is about freedom, boundaries, and CEO-level self-respect.

✨ I’ll show you:

• The exact sales pipeline that prints money while I’m living life
• How I automate content with FaceForward AI (yes, it sounds like me)
• Why Brilliance to Bank is the backend every mom CEO needs
• And why systems don’t kill creativity — they protect it

Let’s ditch burnout and build a business that runs in the background of your life — just like it should.

💬 Episode Description:

Let’s talk money—because it’s time you stopped getting weird about it.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason sales feel sticky and your dream clients aren’t buying… and spoiler alert: it’s not your pricing— it’s the energy behind your pricing.

We’ll talk about why undercharging isn’t just keeping your bank account small, it’s keeping your vision small too. 

I’m walking you through the mindset shifts that helped me go from hourly services to charging aligned, CEO-level rates—and how you can do the same without selling your soul or burning out in the process.

If you’ve ever felt guilty raising your prices, worried what people will think, or second-guessed the value of your work… this one’s for you, mama.

✨ What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why money is just energy—and what your pricing is really saying
• How undercharging attracts needy clients + burnout
• The power of aligned pricing and energetic boundaries
• Simple mindset shifts to start charging like the CEO you are
• What it looks like to model abundance as a mother and business owner
