As more mothers enter the world of entrepreneurship, studies show that balancing passion and family can be overwhelming - even paralyzing. The pressure to turn a passion into a profitable business while keeping up with the demands of parenting can leave many feeling unsure of where to start or whether they have what it takes.
With social media filled with perfect images of other moms seemingly "doing it all," it's easy to feel like you're falling short if your journey isnât picture-perfect. But hereâs the truth: Success doesnât require perfection, and you donât need to have it all figured out before you begin.
What if instead of waiting for the "right time" or having the perfect setup, you took the chance by âfailing forwardâ? Could being messy and imperfect actually be the secret to making your passion profitable?
In this episode, I talk to cookbook and Substack author, Caroline Chambers, who built a successful business while balancing motherhood. She shares why action is the key to clarity and how to start small, monetize trust, and grow your passion without waiting for the perfect moment.
Things Youâll Learn In This Episode
Why You Should Be Open to ChangeIf youâre feeling stuck, it might be because the path you're on isnât where your true passion lies, and trying something new could open doors you never knew existed. Are you holding yourself back by staying in your current routine?
âFailing Forwardâ is OkaySuccess comes from learning, not perfection. What could you achieve if you let go of needing everything to be perfect and just started?
Turn Trust into a BusinessBuilding real trust with your community encourages support and can create opportunities for making money. Have you thought about how you could turn the trust people have in you into something valuable?

Many children of immigrant parents often feel more stress and worry than their friends because of family expectations.
From a young age, they feel like they have to pay back their parents for all their hard work and sacrifices. This can cause feelings of being overwhelmed, constantly putting others first, and having difficult relationships with family.
A lot of second-generation adults think they have to carry this burden by themselves because they feel itâs their responsibility. But sometimes, these expectations might not even match what they really want for their own lives.
Figuring out how to follow your own dreams while respecting your familyâs wishes can feel like a hard thing to do. But what if it doesnât have to be that way? Are you living the life you truly want, or the one others expect from you?
In this episode, founder of Unshaken Gens⢠Allison Ly, explains how changing the way you think and setting boundaries can help you create better, more balanced relationships while staying true to yourself and your family.

Letâs face it, in todayâs world, so many things make life stressful. But our bodies werenât designed to be in a state of stress, all the time. Weâre supposed to metabolize our stress and move through it.
The problem is, instead of facing a stressful situation every few months, weâre experiencing stress daily, so we canât cycle through it and return to a baseline level of stress.
Thatâs why so many people are struggling with overwhelm and burnout.
BossMoms have more on their plates than anyone else on the planet, so weâre more prone to burnout and overwhelm. Cue the waking up tired, the brain fog, feeling unmotivated and crying in the shower. Weâre living on the edge of what we can handle, and our brains constantly feel like they are under threat.
How do we identify overwhelm and burnout and bring ourselves out of it? In this episode, Iâm joined by attorney, pastor, Nervous System Expert, and Certified Master Life Coach, Michelle Grosser. She shares the science behind our overwhelm epidemic, and the body-based tools that will bring us out of it.
"Our bodies are supposed to metabolize stress and close the loop so we can come back to a baseline stress level. Because weâre under all chronic stress, our bodies arenât able to close that stress loop. Thatâs why thereâs so much overwhelm and burnout."

As women, our hormones affect us, sometimes in ways we arenât even aware of. From our energy and mood, hormonal fluctuations throughout your cycle can influence our energy, motivation, and productivity.
But hereâs the thing: the changes and effects arenât always negative. Sometimes, they can actually work in our favor - especially for entrepreneurs.
Our menstrual cycles can help us in our businesses. They can allow us to plan our tasks better and feel more in control of our lives.
How do we use our cycles to your advantage in our lives and businesses?
In this episode, I talk to holistic hormone coach and RN, Leisha Drews to help you understand why these changes happen and how to use them to your advantage. With that, youâll know how to work with your body, not against it, to make your business and life better.
"The first thing is how we perceive our bodies, and understanding that is the first step. Having symptoms during our cycles is actually not normal. It is normal, good, and optimal to have a smooth cycle." -Leisha Drews
