Self StartHER

Ever feel like you’re drowning in “shoulds”?
You should post more. You should wake up earlier. You should run your business this way.

But what if the real “shoulds” look completely different?

In this short and powerful solo episode, I walk you through an exercise we did inside Self StartHER's TogetHER Community that had every woman in the room nodding along. It’s simple, eye-opening, and might just change the way you look at your business (and your life) as a mom.

Grab your notebook and give yourself 10 minutes—you’ll walk away with clarity on what truly lights you up.

Ever feel like you’re drowning in “must-haves” — whether it’s for your baby or your business? You’re not alone.

In this solo episode, I’m riffing off my recent conversation with Heather Wagner where we talked about how we tend to overcomplicate motherhood… and I couldn’t help but realize we do the exact same thing in business.

I’m sharing:

• The baby registry mistake that taught me a major business lesson

• Why “more” isn’t always better — in fact, it can hold you back

• Real-life parallels between simplifying motherhood and simplifying business

• Action steps you can take today to strip things back and focus on what actually matters

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the endless lists, tools, and “shoulds,” this is your permission slip to let go of the extras, take a deep breath, and remember — you’ve got this.

If you’ve ever felt like motherhood flipped your whole world upside down—in the best, hardest, most beautiful way—you’re going to love this conversation with Heather Wagner, founder of Into the Wild, a coaching community designed just for moms. Heather gets real about how becoming a mom can totally shift your priorities, change your values, and force you to rethink what really matters. We talk about the juggle of running a business, raising littles, and still finding space for yourself (hello, self-care that actually works). Heather shares why trusting your instincts is your secret superpower, what nature can teach us about slowing down, and how to keep your relationships with your partner, kids, and yourself strong when life gets chaotic. She also walks us through her unique coaching approach that works around a mom’s already-packed schedule, and how she’s built a safe, supportive space where moms can connect, grow, and remember they’re not doing this alone.
