this one’s for the mama’s!

as we navigate this momtreprenuer world we find ourselves experiencing having to chose between showing up for the kids or showing up for the business. while we consider ourselves extremely lucky to be almost 4 years in business and this be the first time we have to make a decision like this we also balance the other side of the coin; we are going to miss something, and which one do we miss?

tune in this week to hear all about how we are working on having an open dialogue with our kids and navigate through momtreprenuering.

did we record ep 78 twice? we sure did 😅😅 in the hustle of entrepreneurship we may or may not have forgotten to check the memory card before we hit record, oopsie! but as great entrepreneurs we pivot and get the job done cuz that’s what we do baby!

this weeks episode is all about our event-ful weekend. as the weather starts to shift we are coming out of hibernation to unlock core memories for our amazing community. we start with a cutie gender reveal at HQ, a new venue space we set up at & how we onboarded our 3rd wedding couple of the year!

as we build momentum in Q2 we also reflect on the hard work and commitment that got us to this point in business. we share our highs & our lows with you so that you can borrow from our story & see that you are not alone. while also sharing our gratitude for ourselves & the universe for allowing us to build a life we are obsessed with!
