I'm sharing all about my journey in motherhood and business and what has helped me so far. Even though the journey of every single parent is different, there are probably a few things that can help us all to feel better navigating the chaos that business and kids bring in our life. Things get messy from time to time, but it also gets greater and greater.

Takeaways from today's show:

• Ask for help, don't be afraid to call friends and family and ask them to help you. Get the support you need to stay sane. There is no shame in accepting the help you get offered or even to pay for the help you need. A housekeeper, nanny, meal service or virtual assistance can bring you the relief you'll search for.
• Be prepared, work ahead in your business, so when life happens, you can rely on the work you've created in advance. Make sure you figure out what stuff you can batch and prepare in advance for your personal life too. I can't tell you how happy I am that I can shop lying in bed for my kid and somebody else is schlepping it all to our doorstep.
• Make sure you take time for your own needs. During the first few month maybe year this might sound like a joke to you. However, there comes the point where you need to take care of yourself or else everything else will go downhill. Because there is a lot of truth in the saying happy wife/mother happy life.

I'm taking you behind the scenes of my creative business. You'll get to know how an average week in my business and life looks like. How I managed to turn my creative passion into a successful creative business. Of course, I'm not holding back on how you can use the lessons I've learned over time to use them in your own business.

Takeaways from today's show:

• The outside look of business looks fancier than the behind the scenes. So don't get discouraged because you see someone else doing amazing. You don't know about the struggles they have behind the scenes, and we all have them.
• Get to know what you want; this is the first step to taking the right actions. Otherwise, you'll end up doing a ton of things that bring you where you don't want to go.
