Ep 33: How to Manage Motherhood and Entrepreneurship with Sharon Somekh

After a decade of practicing general pediatrics and working with families, she realized that what she enjoyed most was helping parents with parenting concerns, and felt this is what would be most helpful in shaping their children's futures. There often wasn't enough time, however, while tending to children's medical needs to address their concerns. She developed Raiseology to help parents with their parenting struggles and teach them how to raise resilient children in a modern world. As a parenting consultant, she hopes to make a difference for parents today while affecting the future of their children in a positive way.
