              This Episode is sponsored by: My amazing cleaning lady, Amanda Souza, APS Housekeeping. One of the best decisions I made for my mental health - as an entrepreneur and as a mom, was to hire house cleaner. Parenting itself, let alone running a business forces you to value your time above all else. That’s where Amanda comes in. Amanda Souza and her team come and work their magic in my home every few weeks and I can’t even imagine going back to not having her. Not only do they professionally clean my family’s lived in home (I have a toddler and 2 pups in this house!), but they leave the space feeling bright and refreshed. Knowing Amanda is a part of my support team allows me to relax and focus on the things that I truly want to prioritize, like my family & my businesses.

              If managing work, parenting and life feels overwhelming to you, hiring support is a step in the right direction and I can personally recommend Amanda’s services as excellent and rates as very reasonable. She offers deep house cleaning with rates that vary depending on size of home and number of kids and pets. So if you are in the South Jersey area, contact Amanda at: 609-998-1471 or https://www.instagram.com/apscleaning/ and I promise you it’s a call your future self will thank you for!
