85 \\ Do It Messy: Motherhood, Entrepreneurship, and Reclaiming Your Hue

Becoming a mom does something strange to your business. One day you know exactly what you're doing. The next day you're staring at your laptop wondering whose life this is and whether any of it still fits. In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Kirk, host of the Reclaiming Your Hue podcast and a real estate agent running a business alongside her husband Joe. Kelly named her podcast after female flamingos, who lose their pink coloring after having babies. It's the perfect metaphor for what happens to women in motherhood and entrepreneurship, and it's the reason she left a career in mortgage to build something that actually fit her life. We get into the identity shift nobody warns you about, why she tells every mom entrepreneur to "do it messy," how she grew her podcast (including the Buzzsprout SEO trick she wishes she'd known sooner), and why building a village matters more than any business strategy. What you'll hear: The flamingo story and why it resonates with so many moms in business How Kelly knew it was time to leave mortgage and trust the pivot The biggest lesson she's pulled from interviewing dozens of mom entrepreneurs Practical podcasting advice for women thinking about starting one Why perfectionism is the thing killing your momentum, not your strategy Connect with Kelly on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook, and go listen to Reclaiming Your Hue wherever you get your podcasts. If this one resonated, I wrote a full blog post breaking down the motherhood and entrepreneurship conversation in more depth. Link in the show notes.
