[ Featured ] Podcast: Mama With a Calling

Create Your Own Version of Balance As A Mom and Entrepreneur

You know you’ve been called to be a mom but you’re also feeling called to be an entrepreneur. These are both really big jobs and you want to do well at both of them. But how do you balance motherhood and business?

The first thing to recognize about creating a balance between these two big areas of your life is that you get to define balance. It doesn’t necessarily mean equal energy and effort. You have to really do a lot of self-reflection and determine what you’re truly seeking when you’re thinking about balance so that you can create that.

I’m so grateful to join Alexia Carrillo on her podcast, “Mama With a Calling” to talk about navigating being a mom and an entrepreneur and how to create your own version of “balance” and what works best for you and your business.

I share more about my own journey from teacher to life coach and how I continued to grow my business alongside motherhood. We talk about everything from hiring people to which mindset shifts are needed to be able to truly show up for your business and be the mom you want to be.



If you want more permission and practical strategy to be BOTH a mom and an entrepreneur, then open up your favorite podcast app and tune into this episode!

Some questions and topics we cover in the conversation are:

  •  How did you overcome any shame or thoughts about leaving a career like education that’s already so impactful?

  • What it looks like to start a coaching business in person vs online

  • How did you approach working on your business when you had your first child?

  • When did you decide that hiring people for your business was the right choice?

  • Deciding on putting your kids in childcare or not and how to decide what’s best for your business and family?

  • Were there any mindset shifts that allowed you to be confident in being both a mom and an entrepreneur?

  • Getting support from your husband as you run your business.

  • What has helped most when it comes to balancing your business and being a mom of 2 kids?

We talk about it ALL when it comes to finding your balance (click here for the show notes), and make sure to follow Alexia Carillo and the Mama With a Calling brand for more resources like this one!
