The Mom Founders Table

I wrestled with this decision for two years. Every time I dropped my kids off at school, I felt like I was handing them off to free babysitting, and I could not shake it. This episode is for every mom who has felt the same thing and talked herself out of it because she did not know how it could possibly work alongside a business.

Meghan Garfield spent over fifteen years designing learning systems professionally, including moving entire university programs online during COVID, before applying that same expertise to homeschooling her own three kids. She is not here to convince you. She is here to show you what is actually possible.

Episode Overview

We get into the fear of failing your kids, why homeschool does not have to look like school at home, what it actually takes per day at different ages, and how entrepreneur moms are uniquely positioned to make this work. Meghan also shares how her business, HomeGrown Minds, helps families who want the benefits of homeschooling without having to become full-time curriculum designers to do it.

In This Episode

• Find out how much time homeschooling actually takes per day at the elementary level, and why the answer will probably surprise you.
• Learn why your gifted, bored, or disengaged child is not the problem, and what a targeted approach to learning changes for kids like that almost immediately.
• Discover the biggest mistake families make when they start homeschooling, and how to avoid the trap of just recreating school at home with more stress and less support.
• Hear Meghan's framework for assessing each child individually so you are teaching to where they actually are, not where the grade level says they should be.
• Walk away knowing the first questions to ask yourself before choosing any curriculum, and why the right fit depends as much on you as it does on your child.

About Meghan Garfield

Meghan Garfield is the founder of HomeGrown Minds and the creator of Mindful Leaders Academy and Innovation Labs, a local homeschool program in her community. With over fifteen years in education, a master's degree in instructional design and educational technology, and three homeschooled kids of her own, Meghan helps families move from overwhelm and self-doubt to clarity and confidence. She takes the guesswork out of homeschooling with custom assessments, curriculum planning, and ongoing support for families who want a research-based approach without doing it all alone.

Most people think their podcast needs a bigger audience to start working. Jenny Suneson would tell you that is the wrong goal entirely.

Jenny has been in the podcasting industry since 2018, runs her business in twenty hours or less per week, takes Fridays off, and still makes a full-time income while raising two kids under six. She is not here to tell you to do more. She is here to help you do it smarter.

Episode Overview

We get into podcast SEO, why most shows are quietly invisible inside Spotify and Apple Podcasts, what top-performing podcasts are actually doing differently, and how to turn your show into a real part of your sales funnel instead of a hobby that happens to live on the internet. Jenny also shares the one thing she sees hosts doing wrong even after years of podcasting consistently.

In This Episode

• Find out the two quick changes you can make to your podcast name and profile today that could grow your downloads by fifty to one hundred and fifty percent, no new episodes required.
• Learn why podcast listeners are some of the most loyal buyers in any audience, and how guesting on other shows turns that loyalty into new listeners for your own.
• Discover Jenny's episode framework that ensures every month includes at least one sales-focused episode, and why most hosts skip this and wonder why their podcast never leads to clients.
• Hear why podcasting is actually one of the least saturated long-form content platforms right now, and what that means if you have been sitting on the idea of starting a show.
• Walk away with Jenny's free Podcast Growth Blueprint so you can start applying what you heard in this episode today.

She was sitting at a play space with her kids, laptop open, working. The moment she realized she did not want to be that mom anymore was the moment she also realized her business had been running her for years.

That story opened my last client call. If you felt something when you read it, this episode is for you.

Episode Overview

This one is about the thing nobody wants to say out loud: you have the team, you have the revenue, you have done everything you were told to do, and you are still the bottleneck for everything. I walk through exactly why that keeps happening, what is actually broken underneath it, and the specific infrastructure shifts that change it.

In This Episode

• Find out why hiring more people almost never solves the owner-dependency problem, and what you actually need to fix before any hire will give you your time back.
• Learn the three areas where founder-dependency is hiding in your business right now, and the questions to ask yourself that will show you exactly where the breakdown is.
• Hear about a client running a multi-million dollar professional services business with a team of eight who was still the last stop for every decision, and how we changed that without her losing control of quality.
• Discover why the story of "once I hit this milestone, things will settle down" is the single most expensive lie founders tell themselves, and what to do instead.
• Walk away knowing what a fully handed-off task actually looks like, and why the habit of reviewing and redoing your team's work is quietly keeping you stuck in operator mode.

If your calendar keeps filling back up no matter how many people you hire, if your team keeps coming to you for things they should already own, if you are physically present with your family but mentally still at your desk, the problem is not your team. It is your infrastructure. And that is fixable.

This is exactly what we rebuild inside the mastermind. Every member starts with my full business assessment and analysis, gets a private quarterly business review, and leaves each quarter knowing exactly what to work on and in what order. You are not just joining a group. You are getting private advisory woven through the whole year.

If you are running an established service-based business, have a team in place, and are tired of feeling like you built something successful that is still costing you your life, this is what we built it for.

Kim Richards started Caring for Mama the night a neighbor texted her to say she felt truly seen for the first time since becoming a mom. Not because of a meal, not because of a baby gift, but because someone had sent her something just for her. That text became a business, and that business has become a movement.

Kim is a San Diego-based founder, mom of two, and former PR professional who built Caring for Mama from her own postpartum experience, her background in communications, and a deep belief that mothers deserve consistent, tangible care, not just on the hard days, but on random Tuesday mornings too.

This conversation goes well beyond the boxes.

Episode Overview

We get into what it actually looks like to build something heart-led without losing yourself in it. Kim talks about moving from corporate PR into product-based entrepreneurship, why she ruthlessly deletes her calendar, what matrescence taught her about identity and power, and how she is expanding Caring for Mama into the caregiver space to support the women who are simultaneously raising young children and aging parents.

In This Episode

• Find out why Kim believes motherhood deepens our creativity and leadership rather than diminishing it, and how leaning into that belief has shaped every decision she has made in her business.

• Learn the one thing Kim started doing with her calendar that gave her more energy, more creativity, and more capacity to actually show up for the things that matter.

• Hear how Kim has kept the warmth and intimacy of a handcrafted brand intact as the business scales, and what she is building next to maintain that human connection without it costing her everything.

• Discover why Kim says if you are questioning whether something belongs on your calendar, that question is already your answer.

• Walk away with Kim's closing message to every mom listening, the one she puts in every single box she ships.

About Kim Richards

Kim Richards is the founder of Caring for Mama, a mission-driven care brand built on the belief that mothers and caregivers deserve to feel seen, nourished, and cared for, not just once, but consistently. She curates boxes sourced entirely from women-owned businesses and ships them across the US. Kim is a former PR professional with over 20 years of experience, a mom of two girls, and a caregiver to her 81-year-old mother. She is expanding Caring for Mama into the senior services and family caregiver space.

A woman came to me last year with a million dollar business, a full team, and clients she loved. She also couldn't get out of bed in the morning. Not because anything was failing. Because everything was working, and she still dreaded every single day of it.

That story is the reason I recorded this episode. Most of the time when something feels broken in your business, the problem isn't the thing you think it is. It's fear, and fear has a way of disguising itself as a team problem or a pricing problem or a scheduling problem until someone finally names it for what it actually is.

Episode Overview

I walk through three real client stories in this one, each tied to one of the three gears I look at in every business: people, processes, and pricing. In every case, what looked like a logistics issue was actually fear making the decisions. A founder who couldn't hold her team accountable because she was afraid of being disliked. A practitioner who couldn't step back from her schedule because her worth was tangled up in how much she worked, even while her own stress was getting in the way of the family she wanted to build. A business owner stuck at the same revenue for years because she was terrified to charge what she was actually worth.

In This Episode

• Learn the question to ask yourself about your team that will reveal whether you're avoiding a conversation out of fear, and what that avoidance is actually costing you in hours, in trust, and in resentment.
• Find out why your calendar might be the clearest evidence of a belief you've never questioned, and what it looks like to finally rebuild a schedule around your life instead of your business's demands.
• Hear the exact pricing shift one client made, just ten to twenty dollar increases on a low ticket offer, that took her from twenty thousand dollar months working sixty hours a week to multiple six figure months and a second maternity leave.
• Understand the difference between being nice and being a good leader, and why confusing the two might be the reason your team keeps coming to you for things they should already know how to handle.
• Get a clear picture of what changes on the other side of this work, because the woman who couldn't get out of bed bought her dream beach house, started a nonprofit, and launched a third business within a few years of doing this.

If you've tried everything, hired the consultants, bought the courses, built the systems, and you're still stuck in the same place, this episode will show you why. The fix was never going to come from another strategy. It comes from someone helping you see the fear pattern clearly enough to actually change it.

Build a Business That Runs Without You

I'm hosting a live three day event on Zoom in January where we do exactly what this episode walks through. Day one, we diagnose where fear has been running your decisions. Day two, I teach you how to build the infrastructure so your people, processes, and pricing actually work together. Day three, we get into your leadership and the patterns you'll need to shift to hold the business you're building.

You think you are just tired. You think you just need a good night of sleep or a weekend off. But what if the brain fog, the random fevers, the word-finding issues, and the feeling of being completely empty were your body sending you a message you have been too busy to read?

This episode is a conversation with Dr. Becky Allen, pelvic floor physical therapist, disruptor of her industry, and founder of Genesis PT and Wellness — a five-clinic company she built from a part-time side job while raising her kids. Becky is brilliant, hilarious, and one of the most honest voices in the room about what it actually costs to build something big without taking care of yourself in the process.

Episode Overview

We cover a lot of ground in this one — from why Kegels are not the answer your pelvic floor needs, to what burnout physically does to your body, to how Becky went from being the sole practitioner doing everything herself to leading a company with a business partner, a full team, and the freedom to pick her kids up from baseball camp in the middle of the day.

This is the episode for the founder who is building something incredible and quietly running herself into the ground doing it.

In This Episode

• Find out what burnout actually looks like physically — beyond just feeling tired — and why Becky's experience of recurring fevers, brain fog, and word-finding issues was her body's way of forcing her to stop.
• Learn why your business can only grow as big as you are willing to grow yourself — and what inner work Becky credits for the expansion that no strategy or system could have created on its own.
• Discover the one hiring and leadership shift that took Becky from being the energy source for her entire company to becoming the visionary who shows up, sets the direction, and trusts her team to run it.
• Get Becky's take on why delegating something means actually letting it go — and the rule she uses to make sure she never takes things back once they are off her plate.
• Walk away knowing what it looks like to build a company around the life you actually want — and why Becky's definition of success has nothing to do with revenue and everything to do with how she feels when she walks through her front door.
• 
  

About Dr. Becky Allen

Dr. Becky Allen is a pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Genesis PT and Wellness, a five-clinic practice based in DFW, Texas that also sees patients virtually worldwide. Becky has spent her career challenging the standard approach to pelvic health — ditching Kegels in favor of finding and fixing the root cause of dysfunction — and has built a movement in her field around doing things differently. She is a mom, a visionary, and one of the most refreshingly honest voices in both the healthcare and entrepreneurship space.

Two years ago I was sitting in a pool in Mexico telling my husband I felt guilty dropping my kids off at school every day. This week, we took them for the last time.

It took me two years to make that decision. And this episode is about why, and why you are probably doing the exact same thing with the decisions sitting on your heart right now.

Episode Overview

This one is raw, personal, and recorded at my kitchen table in workout clothes with no makeup because that felt right for what I needed to say. We are talking about the real reason women stay stuck — not because they do not know what they want, not because they do not have the strategy, but because they do not trust themselves enough to take the first step without having every single answer figured out first.

Whatever the decision is that you have been circling for months — a new offer, a team change, a business model shift, a life change — this episode is going to hit differently.

In This Episode

• Find out the question that finally broke through two years of indecision for me — and how asking it of yourself right now could change the trajectory of your business and your life faster than any strategy ever will.

• Learn why the "I don't know how" excuse is almost never the real problem — and what is actually sitting underneath it that is keeping you stuck in the same place season after season.

• Discover why making the decision — before you have all the answers — is the very thing that signals to your brain that you can be trusted, and why that trust is the foundation everything else is built on.

• Understand why the women who work with me and do not get results are never missing the strategy — and what the one thing is that separates the ones who break through from the ones who stay the same.

• Walk away with a reframe that will make every hard decision feel less paralyzing — and a clear first step you can take today on the thing you have been putting off.

You are resourceful. You are capable. You have never come up against something you have not found your way through. The only thing standing between where you are and where you want to be is a decision — and the willingness to trust that you can figure out the rest once you make it.

You like your team. You really do. And that is exactly why you are not saying anything — and exactly why your business is stuck.

This is one of the shortest episodes I have ever recorded and possibly one of the most important. If you have been avoiding hard conversations with your team, tolerating performance that does not meet your standards, or quietly doing the work yourself because it is easier than addressing it — this episode is going to hit.

Episode Overview

The pattern I see over and over in high-revenue businesses is not a strategy problem. It is a leadership problem. Specifically, it is the problem of being so focused on not rocking the boat that accountability disappears entirely — and without accountability, your team cannot perform at the level your business actually needs.

This episode breaks down exactly what needs to be in place for accountability to work, why communication is not conflict, and what it is actually costing you to keep tolerating underperformance.

In This Episode

• Find out why being the nicest person on your team is one of the most expensive leadership mistakes you can make — and what to do instead without becoming someone you do not recognize.

• Learn the exact structure that makes accountability consistent, clear, and something your team can actually self-manage — so you are not stuck in endless check-ins and uncomfortable conversations.

• Discover why the absence of clear performance metrics is not a kindness to your team — it is actually the thing preventing them from doing their best work.

• Get the reframe that will change how you think about standards forever — and why high expectations are not the problem, unclear expectations are.

• Walk away knowing the one thing that happens when you consistently let underperformance slide — and why it quietly becomes the new standard for your entire team.

Accountability is not about being harsh. It is about being honest. And the most loving thing you can do for your team — and for yourself — is to tell them exactly what success looks like and then hold them to it.

This episode is short, direct, and exactly what you need to hear if you have been avoiding the conversation you already know you need to have.

The moment someone lands on your profile or About page, they are already deciding whether they want to let you into their world, and most founders have no idea what those first few seconds are actually communicating.

This episode is a conversation with Marianna Henninger, Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker turned brand strategist and founder of Brand Magnetic. Marianna has spent 15-plus years studying what makes people trust, believe, and buy. She breaks down the exact framework she uses to help her clients get pre-sold before a single sales conversation ever happens.

In This Episode

• Find out the four trust triggers your ideal client needs to feel the moment they meet you, and why getting all four right can get someone almost to the sale before they have engaged with a single piece of content.

• Learn why building trust over six to twelve months of consistent content is one of the biggest lies in online marketing, and what to do instead.

• Discover the one market research question to ask every new client the moment they sign that reveals exactly which parts of your marketing are doing the heavy lifting.

• Understand why leading with authority and credentials is trust trigger number three, not number one, and what your audience needs to feel first.

• Walk away knowing the difference between being liked and being positioned as an expert — and why getting friend-zoned by your audience is quietly costing you sales.

You are not stuck because you lack strategy. You are not stuck because you are lazy, unclear, or incapable. You are stuck because part of you is subconsciously terrified of what success will actually cost you — and you do not even realize you are doing it.

For our 100th episode, I am bringing you the conversation I believe every female founder needs to have. This one is personal, uncomfortable, and exactly what you need to hear if you have been circling the same income ceiling and cannot figure out why nothing is breaking through.

Episode Overview

This week I am pulling back the curtain on one of the most common — and least talked about — reasons women stay stuck in their businesses. It is not a marketing problem. It is not a systems problem. It is a belief problem. And it is running silently in the background of almost every founder I have ever worked with, regardless of how much they are already making.

I am sharing two stories in this episode — one from a conversation I had with a wildly successful woman at a retreat in California, and one from my own life — that reveal exactly how we build invisible ceilings around our own success and what it actually takes to break through them.

In This Episode

• Find out the one question I asked a seven-figure founder on a walk in California that made her realize exactly why she had not crossed her next income threshold — and how to ask it of yourself.

• Learn how to identify the specific belief your brain is using to block your next level so you can finally stop circling the same ceiling and start breaking through it.

• Discover the pattern I uncovered in my own business around money and relatability — and how naming it was the thing that changed everything about how I grew.

• Get a clear list of the exact ways founders self-sabotage without realizing it so you can identify which ones are quietly running your business right now.

• Understand why self-awareness is never enough on its own — and what accountability actually does inside your brain that no amount of strategy, information, or motivation ever will.

The Founders Table Mastermind is now open.

If you are tired of hitting the same patterns, the same ceilings, and the same seasons — and you are ready for the infrastructure, the accountability, and the community to finally build the next level — the Founders Table is for you.

Here is what is included: two calls per month with me, two coworking and implementation sessions per month, quarterly business reviews with priorities, a City Girls ticket, an in-person retreat, and a money-back guarantee. If you do not make back your investment within the year, you do not pay for it.
