So many of us step into business with huge hearts and deep skills, then crash into the reality of motherhood — where hustle culture doesn’t work and “balance” is a myth. In this episode we explore what it really takes to grow your business as an intentional mother: creating rhythms that fit your season of life, using small windows of time to move the needle, building in alignment with your values (not someone else’s), and letting business become something that not only sustains you, but actually gives you love, energy, and connection back.

In this episode we discuss:
- Why chasing balance sets us up to fail, and why the word ‘seasons’ is so much more supportive
- How to honour the ebb and flow of motherhood and business (some days are big moves, some days are maintenance, some days are just survival…and that’s okay)
- What “enough” looks like when your business has to fit alongside family life
- Balance is a myth: life is constant cycles of challenge, problem, and growth: which can feel deeply meaningful when aligned with your values
- The trap of waiting until you “have more time” (spoiler: you never do)
- Why mothers are mofos of productivity: clarity on daily micro-goals, plus giving kids invitations to play that don’t require you
- How micro-moves (those 10–15 minute bursts) add up to real growth
- Busywork vs. high-yield actions: where to spend energy when you only have scraps of time
- Simple rhythms that keep momentum going when everything feels chaotic
- Redefining success for your values and current season of life (and stopping the guilt cycles when you can’t do it all)
- Why your motherhood values (empathy, presence, intuition, boundaries) are actually your business superpower
- Being selective about who you allow to lead you…because you borrow their priority system, and that can pull you out of alignment
- Building a business as a training ground: website skills, communication, marketing, pivoting, resilience; all of which make you highly employable and more disciplined
- Letting go of guilt around investing in yourself and your business, because what nourishes you, nourishes your whole family
- Redefining success: a business that supports your nervous system and actually gives you more energy than it takes
