What this episode covers

Babies, toddlers, business, oh my!I’ve always said that running a business is the biggest lesson in personal development that you could ever undertake… but throw a 2-year old, a 4-month old, 100 clients and a founder with BIG dreams and high expectations of yourself, and you’ve got yourself a right ‘ol recipe for... well, a good time, actually!Betcha didn’t expect me to say that, did you? Because the RHETORIC is that is kids and business is HARD... and sure, I wouldn’t call it a walk in the park.But also? I’ve CHOSEN this, and I literally wouldn’t have it any other way.In today’s podcast episode, I want to share with you my unique perspective on navigating this “early childhood” phase of business and life, and how I “manage it all”... or more accurately, how I DON’T (and how I’m completely okay with that).How it’s wildly beautiful and how ADJUSTING my expectations down has actually been the catalyst for a sense of happiness and calm in this season that I didn’t think was possible for this little high achiever 👋In the past few months, I have had SO many other mums reach out to me and ask “how I do it”, “how I juggle it all”, “how I manage”.And so I want to share with you NOT my “expert guide to parenting and business”, because actually, I don’t really have it all figured out and I don’t really want to come at this from the place of an expert.But instead, my honest account and thoughts on the best way I personally have found to navigate this beautiful, wild season of life... in case it helps you too.If you’re a mum navigating business and babies — YOU ARE AMAZING, and I think it’s nice to know that! NO ONE has it all figured out (and that is totally okay).✔️ Choose Your Hard (Why I Chose Digital Programs)✔️ Everything is a Season / Choose Your Burners✔️ Adjust Your Expectations✔️ In 5 Years, What Will You Regret?✔️ Guilt is a Useless Emotion✔️ I Don’t Actually “Do It All”✔️ Get AwayFull show notes for this episode can be found at https://thecoursecartel.com/161----------Want more?
