Shari Teigman | Building a Business as a Single Mum - Should Parents Feel Guilty?
Today’s guest on Real Women is a returning guest who has just as little of a filter as Tracy and Dawn, Shari Teigman is here to talk about building a business as a single mum. Should parents feel guilty for spending time on the business and away from the kids? Or is that whole notion just part of an old fashioned system? Listen in to find out what these Real Women think, no fluff, no filters.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Shari had lost her spark and had no idea how to find it again. So she started with what she knew she didn't want and transformed entirely, divorcing and starting her own business as a full time parent. Shari studied for a life coaching certification and did yoga teacher training for a full year of immersion and knew she found her purpose.
- The biggest challenges as a parent for Shari when she was embarking on her business journey was allowing her children to keep their normality while she was being the dedicated mum who also had to be her business. It was a split and now she knows that she didn’t need to hide any of her personality and journey with them, they could have come along with her.
- As women trying to run a business and raise kids and also just be ourselves as well, we feel like we can be leading two or three different lives and each one feels guilty about taking time away from the others.
- Women or feminine people are nurturers and we do things differently with our children. Men often don't get it, and don't do it like we do, so when we are building our businesses we need them to pick up the slack.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Let's just call it a force field, a force field of love’
‘There's already guilt when you're doing something and guilt when you're not doing something’
‘You’ve got one pair of hands’
‘We always move the goalposts’

ABOUT THE GUEST
“Rewind 12 years and I was your standard Stepford wife living a life that looked beautiful from the outside but most certainly was not mine. I had lost my spark and I had no idea how to find it again. So I started with what I knew I didn't want and transformed entirely through a divorce, single mamaing the 2 most amazing boys in the world + navigating rebuilding a Self I knew was meant for much more.
After more dark nights of the soul than I can count, lots of dancing & cocktails mixed in for good measure, I found the rabbit hole of personal development and I dove in with all I had. I studied for a life coaching certification and yoga teacher training for a full year of immersion and KNEW I found my purpose. With a sociology, art therapy and makeup artist background, uncovering what makes people tick melded with creativity runs in my veins. My role in the world is to help people unearth themselves for more success, fulfilment and joy on their terms.”
ABOUT THE HOSTS
Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up of all the “noise” out there in the real world. Life isn’t simply rainbows and unicorns, it's broken relationships, hard work, hot sweats and never ending laundry baskets. But life as a real woman is also about being honest, having good gossip and speaking our truths. Whether it’s peeling yourself into your spandex for a night out, or running a business meeting barefoot because the heel has fallen off your stilettos, there is always something to laugh about in life.
