In this Raw and Real episode, I sit down with the incredible Blanka from Awarenest to have an unapologetically honest conversation about the tightrope walk between being a devoted mother and a driven entrepreneur. We go deep into the messy middle — the mom guilt, the self-doubt, the societal pressure to “do it all” — and the inner fire that refuses to dim, no matter how full life already feels.

Blanka shares her journey of building a purpose-led business while raising a family, the moments she’s wrestled with guilt, and the mindset shifts that have allowed her to embrace her ambition without losing herself. We unpack practical strategies for setting boundaries, protecting your energy, and redefining success on your own terms.

If you’re a mother with big dreams (and a to-do list a mile long), this episode is your permission slip to own your ambition, drop the shame, and create a life where motherhood and entrepreneurship can co-exist — powerfully.
