What happens when motherhood doesn’t slow you down — but instead gives you the courage to begin?

In this episode of The Working Mom Show, Klara sits down with Chelsea Thurman-Westling, founder of Delilah’s Maternity, a brick-and-mortar maternity boutique she opened while pregnant with her second child.

Chelsea shares how frustration with the lack of in-store maternity options sparked a business idea — and how becoming a mother gave her the strength to bring it to life. Together, we talk about running a physical store with young children, setting firm boundaries, and redefining success beyond hustle culture.

Chelsea also opens up about living with ADHD and CPTSD, breaking generational patterns, and why repair — not perfection — matters most in motherhood and business.

This episode is an honest, grounding reminder that you don’t have to choose between being present for your children and building something meaningful.

🎧 A must-listen for moms who want to build a life — not just a business.

In this heartfelt episode of The Working Mom Show, Klara talks with Elizabeth Grandinetti, a storyteller, writer, and mother who openly shares the emotional unraveling and rebuilding that motherhood triggered in her life.

Elizabeth discusses postpartum identity shifts, ambition that feels “different” after baby, the weight of invisible responsibilities, and the surprising clarity that comes when you slow down enough to hear your own intuition again.

Together, they explore the truth so many mothers live but rarely say aloud:
You don’t become less after motherhood — you become new.
This conversation is warm, honest, and deeply validating for anyone navigating who they were, who they are, and who they’re becoming.

Sarah shares her extraordinary journey of “becoming a mom backwards,” becoming the full-time parent of two older children before ever holding a newborn of her own. She opens up about perfectionism, overwhelm, and the wake-up calls that helped her shift from doing it all to doing what matters.

• The emotional weight of motherhood when you’re trying to be perfect 

• Why “we’re all just making it up as we go” is the most comforting truth parents need to hear 

• How Sarah built a business from her expertise in potty training

• The moment she realized her family had become background noise — and how she changed that
