1. Creating Space in Motherhood and Business with Caroline O’Neill

I’m BEYOND excited to have the very first episode of the Made for Mothers Podcast live, and out into the world!I have an incredible guest to share with you for this first episode - Caroline O’Neill. Caroline has played a pivotal role in my own life as a close friend and an important part of my birth team, and also as a key collaborator in a lot of the Made for Mothers work we do in our local community. Caroline is an expert when it comes to helping expectant mothers and families in our community prepare both physically and emotionally for birth. She was able to do this by creating the Body, Birth, and Baby Center. This has been a dream of hers for years, and she knew it was the missing piece that parents needed as they were bringing their children into the world. Caroline and I talk all about her journey navigating both motherhood and entrepreneurship, and all of the amazing (and also really difficult) experiences she’s had along the way. Caroline has a beautiful story, and so much wisdom and guidance to share as you’re working to create space in motherhood and business.
