Stop Trading Hours for Dollars as a Mom Entrepreneur | Tala Hershey

Can you really build a business around motherhood without sacrificing your income, your ambition, or your sanity?Tala Hershey is a pediatric speech pathologist and the founder of Hershey Therapy Practice, and in this episode we talk about what changed when motherhood collided with private practice, why flexibility on paper is not always freedom in real life, and how she is rebuilding her business model to support both her family and her work. What Tala shares:Why running a private practice as a mom did not feel as flexible as it looked from the outsideHow she shifted from one-to-one services into parent coaching to create a business model with more freedom and less pressureWhat she has learned about delegation, systems, and building support behind the scenes instead of trying to carry everything alone This stuck with me:When Tala talks about the resentment that can show up when you are trying to mother, work, and hold everything together at once, especially when the tiny pocket of time you were counting on disappears. That is such a real and important truth for mompreneurs, because so much guilt comes from pretending we should be able to do it all calmly when the setup itself is often unsustainable.
