As a new mom, you are sure to encounter all kinds of new and sometimes unexpected situations. I had no idea that having a new baby would be an open invitation for every person I came across to get involved in my business. 

11 years and two daughters later, I can look back on these moments and laugh. Only because I had to learn how to navigate these awkward conversations with random but well-meaning strangers. 

And let me be very clear on something, just because my girls are a little older, doesn't mean I've outgrown the criticisms or unsolicited advice. It sort of comes with the territory.

So today I decided to share with you my top 5 list of unhelpful things people say to moms. This episode is intended to give you a reason to laugh but also for you to know that if you are in this season of motherhood, whatever you are feeling is absolutely normal. And you are not alone.

In this episode of the Motherhood Merged Podcast, I am pleased to introduce two women who are busy spreading confetti across the globe with curated parties in a box. 

Liz and Whitney are the women behind Confetti Betti. With eight children, two husbands, and two dogs between them, they truly are superwomen and extraordinary mothers. 

They launched their business partnership in the midst of a pandemic and share their learnings, challenges, and successes. 

Some key takeaways from this interview:

• You don't have to have everything mapped out to get started
• Pursing goals is better with a friend you can trust
• Share the story behind the business 
• Community engagement can and should be a priority for business growth
• Products and services that make life easier for moms are worth celebrating

Do you consider yourself an industry leader or expert? 

I didn't always understand that I am, in fact, an expert. There was a time when I  would have never labeled myself as an industry leader or expert. It felt too self-absorbed or like too much ego to proclaim myself in that way. I also realized that I wasn't confident in my methods or processes. 

With time, I've become confident in my message because I always share about something I truly am an expert on: my way. ⠀

I'm the only one qualified to talk about me. To share my experiences and my unique ways of navigating this journey I am on which includes life as a working professional and mother.

In this episode, I share the three criteria you can use to ensure that you have earned the title of an industry leader or expert.

Your homework for this episode: write the words I AM AN EXPERT on a piece of paper and stick it somewhere you will see every single day. Take a picture of your note to yourself and share it with me on Instagram. I will remind you to believe it every day because you have earned it.
