In this episode of CEO Like a Mother™, I sit down with Maggie Lord, digital media pioneer and founder of Rustic Wedding Chic, a brand she grew over 12 years before its acquisition by David’s Bridal in 2020. Now a partner at The Whisper Group, Maggie helps female founders build businesses with exits in mind — because success isn’t just about scaling, it’s about owning your worth at every stage.

We talk about:

• Why entrepreneurship can be a powerful path for mothers
• How to separate your business from your identity (your work isn’t your baby!)
• What women need to know early on about exit strategy and why it matters

Whether you're building your first business or it is a chapter you're looking to close, this episode is a must listen for women redefining ambition on their own terms.
