How bold are you? Who are we to hold back from creating things and being our authentic selves, living unafraid? I know I have been holding back on doing the hard things. The reason is that fear took a bigger place in my life. It’s scary but I always manage to look back at the moments when I stepped away from fear. How did I do it? Well, I just did it scared…

If you're unsure about wanting children and how to make that decision, this episode is for you. As a driven and creative woman, I was frightened by the idea of motherhood. I wondered if it meant losing my sense of self. Or postponing my goals until my children were grown. I worried about how society, and even my husband, would perceive me. In this episode, I'll share what almost made me reject the idea of having children, how I eventually realized I wanted them, and the most surprising parts of motherhood.

People are either a self-defeating person or a no-limits person. This is a concept that Wayne Dyer brought up in one of his books and I wanted to talk about this a little bit more. Our emotional health is like orange juice… sounds silly, but hear me out.

This is a TGS first: my best friend Taryn and I hit record on a conversation we had about my recent Taylor Swift miracle. Taylor was playing at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for her Eras Tour. I had no ticket and odds were I wouldn't get one. But I hopped on a train to MetLife anyway and 40 minutes later ended up in an incredible seat.

Get a taste of what a conversation with my friends actually sounds like, how the events unfolded from her perspective and other profound takeaways.

Motherhood. Entrepreneurship. Often, women are unsure if they can do both. Or if they even want both. Growing up, I believed motherhood meant losing yourself. And becoming invisible to the world. Boy, was I wrong. With a little girl now of my own, my idea of what women are capable of expanded. 

That’s why I love this conversation with Hayley Clark, founder of Honey Mark. As a mama of 4 and successful business owner I had to talk to her about being a woman, mother, and dreamer.

Having 3 kids in 2.5 years was a big challenge that later became a huge inspiration for Hayley's swimsuit collection. After years of designing and many miracles, Hayley launched her company, Honey Mark. 

As soon as Honey Mark launched, it caught like wildfire and has since helped tens of thousands of women find the perfect swimsuit that hits the sweet spot of cute and comfortable coverage. The journey in balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship was life-changing and she hopes to inspire moms out there to continue to be their authentic selves and pursue their dreams.

[3:18] - Sacrifice and the work of balancing family life and business

[9:47] - The journey to Honeymark

[16:28] - The growth of a business and trusting your gut and intuition

[23:13] - Understanding the beauty of motherhood and finding yourself again

[29:05] - Allowing motherhood to empower you

[34:47] - Where can we start with business and motherhood and believing in the process

[41:40] - Tackling the big things by setting goals for yourself

QUOTES

“I didn’t know what I could do until I became a mom. If I didn’t become a mom, Honeymark wouldn’t be a thing.” - Hayley Clark

“Motherhood is empowering if you allow it to be.” - Hayley Clark

THIS WEEK’S INTENTION

There’s a divine plan for my life. Whatever I feel inspired to desire is possible for me to have.

WRITING PROMPT

What beliefs might be stopping me from going after what I want? What first, small step can I take to show my dreams matter?

I found that I don’t often talk about my motherhood journey and I will say that postpartum was probably the toughest because I had a difficult time learning how to integrate who I was before and who I’m becoming now. I ended up having a conversation with a woman that sparked the topic I will talk about today. This is a reminder to you that no matter what happens in your life, you deserve to do the things that light you up.
