Growing a Deeply Rooted Business

When Motherhood Changes Everything in Your Business: Rachel’s Rebrand, Redefinitions & Radical Honesty


Listen Later

In this raw and reflective episode of the Deeply Rooted Business Podcast, Rachel shares what it really looked like to rediscover her business after maternity leave and why she chose to burn it all down to rebuild something that felt truly aligned.

From navigating marketing ick during postpartum, to redefining her values, voice, and client offers, Rachel opens up about how motherhood radically reshaped her priorities and exposed cracks in her previous brand. She and Jess unpack how the online business space often overemphasizes urgency, performance, and polished perfection and why they’re both moving toward slower, more sustainable, human-first ways of doing business.


If you’ve ever returned to your business after a major life shift and thought, “This doesn’t fit me anymore”—this one’s for you.
