The CEO Momcast

Meet Rachel! After spending many year travelling and in the beauty industry, Rachel came to hate hotel lighting. No matter the caliber of hotel, the lighting was never good enough to do good makeup in. From this was born Leopara Beauty, a magnetic lighting system that travels with you and will stick to any mirror.

Tune in as Rachel tells us about her learning curve, how long it took to get off the ground and what was her aha moment.

This weeks guest is Kristina creator of Hanging Gem. Kristina started Hanging Gem in 2021 but her passion for jewelry started way before that. With her dad being a jeweler Kristina has fond memories of herself as a child going to his office and watching him make beautiful pieces. It was then that she knew this was something she always wanted to do but kept putting if off. 

Tune in to find out how Kristyna balances motherhood and running her own business and how she came up with a line that is mom/kid friendly, doesn't tarnish and is affordable.

In part 1 of a mini series I meet with Dr. Nicole Srednicki. Nicole is a doctor and entrepreneur who is trying to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western medicine. Her practice is mainly for high energy, high functioning clients who need to be on top of their game every day and take their health very seriously as they know that is the backbone to them being at the top performance level in all aspects of their lives.

I got to meet with Dr. Srednicki at The Modern Day Wife event which was held at the beautiful W Hotel in Scottsdale. Nicole is a local who loves to exercise and hang out with her puppy; but tune in and get the full scoop from the good doctor herself.

Meet Janene, she grew up in small-town Iowa, with few examples of female entrepreneurs to look up to. She started her career by following the set path, earning her associate's Degree in Business Management before accepting a management role within the Chick-Fil-A franchise. She quickly fell in love with business development and dreamed of someday opening her own store. She is married to her husband Nate and together they co-own two businesses in the transportation industry. Janene keeps it real when it comes to parenting and running businesses. She recognizes that you cannot do it alone, it's okay to ask for help and sometimes being a mom is more important than cleaning the house.

This week I got to chat with entrepreneur Inbal. She is currently running two businesses and still being a mom to not one but two littles! Like-Minded Collective, her newest endeavour is a place for like-minded businesswomen to get together, learn, chat, collaborate and most of all support each other. We talk about the challenges of the tech world and developing something from scratch, investing in yourself and how it is important to never to give up.

Listen in and don't forget to check out the Like-Minded Collective. Membership is only $40 a month and my listeners get the first month at 50% off, your welcome!

Meet Jenny, the mom behind Career Mom Podcast.  If you are like me, I had the misconception that it was just about mothers in the workplace, but upon talking to Jenny it is really about a woman's identity after she becomes a mother and making it work with who she was before. Jenny recognizes that it is ok for that identity to change and that it can also change again as the years go on. There is no right answer to how women get back into the workforce once they become mothers, but there is also room for improvement in the options that are available. 

Join Jenny and I as we discuss this identity, issues around FMLA and her support for different groups that are working on better maternal care, leaves and return to work situations for women in America.

Meet this week's guest Khalifa! Khalifa is the mom behind @happy_singlemompodcast where she is doing her best to show you can be a single parent, have everything you want and enjoy it.
She has a new book out all about positivity, and when you write it down you can make it happen. I am patiently waiting for Amazon to deliver it, but we chat a bit about the book and hope that you are just as intrigued as I am.

Meet Beth, the daughter behind the mother daughter duo of the Killer Hangover Podcast. With Beth the kids come first, but she makes sure to sneak off at night for her drink of choice and some chats about crime cases across the continent. The show is unique in that it showcases a crime and drink for every state, and they have even covered some Canadian cases as well. Tune in as we talk about what inspired Beth, how she balances it all and how you can find her podcast, cause if you like to try new drinks she will give you a new one to try with every episode.

Carolina is the mom behind Because Mom Atlanta, a social and business networking group for moms. As a mom with an entrepreneurial spirit, she realized it was hard to meet, connect and find like-minded moms. Because Mom is about more than just networking, it is about the social aspect that we as moms often forget that we need as we are so busy taking care of others. Tune in to listen to the many benefits of networking, the struggles behind balancing it all and of course the benefits that Carolina finds in her self-care routine!

Meet Emily, Author and Mom behind Body Positive: A Guide to Loving Your Body. One of the most down-to-earth moms I have had the chance to chat with. Emily keeps it real and recognizes that it isn't about 100% all the time as parents; it's about doing the best you can, letting our kids live and encouraging them to make healthy decisions for themselves and leading by example. Body image struggles are something that most young girls struggle with, and it is getting younger every day. Listen in as Emily gives you some of the tips from her book and her own parenting experience to help our girls see that their worth doesn't lie in how they look in the mirror or a number on the scale.
