Episode 8 Mom vs. Daughter – Fun, Fails, and Family Feels

In this episode of Money Makin’ Mamas, we’re diving headfirst into the beautifully chaotic world of mother-daughter relationships—specifically, what happens when you mix family with business. Join us as we (Mom and Kelcie) share our journey of becoming business partners, the lessons we’ve learned, and the hilarious (and sometimes cringeworthy) moments that have shaped our bond along the way. We’re getting real about how our relationship has evolved over time, how we (sometimes very badly) handle conflicts, and the heartfelt reasons that inspired us to launch Money Makin’ Mamas. But before we even got started, we had to face some hard truths and have some serious conversations. After all, going into business with someone who’s known you your whole life is no small feat—especially when you’re both self-admitted control freaks who also happen to be people-pleasers. (Yes, it’s as complicated as it sounds!) We break down the pros and cons we had to address before taking the entrepreneurial leap together. On the plus side, we have each other’s backs like nobody else, and we’re deeply invested in each other’s success. But the flip side? We quickly realized that being so close meant we were more likely to tiptoe around tough conversations, wanting to avoid hurt feelings. And when you’re both used to being in control? Let’s just say learning to compromise was… an adventure. From figuring out when to be “Mom and Daughter” versus “Business Partners,” to navigating disagreements without taking things personally (still working on that one!), this episode is packed with relatable stories, honest insights, and plenty of laughs. We also share how we’ve learned to play to our strengths—and accept our weaknesses—while building something we’re both proud of. This episode is a must-listen for moms and daughters who love each other to bits but don’t always see eye to eye, and for anyone who’s ever wondered if mixing family and business is really worth the risk. (Spoiler: It is, but it’s not always easy!) So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and get ready for a lighthearted yet deeply honest chat about love, laughter, and learning to make it work—together. Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share this episode with a fellow mama (or daughter!) who could use a good laugh and a reminder that they’re not alone in this crazy, wonderful journey.
