In this episode, Dana shares the unexpected lesson that came from a nearly empty networking event and how it revealed two hidden habits keeping most mom entrepreneurs stuck: deferring their dreams and doing everything themselves.

She dives deep into the mindset behind why moms say "it's just easier if I do it," how that belief quietly sabotages our growth, and what to do instead. You'll learn Dana's favorite framework—Start, Stop, Continue, Delegate—and how to finally start building the support, systems, and future you've been dreaming about.

If you've ever caught yourself thinking "I'll focus on that later," this episode is your wake-up call that your future dictates today.
