Why did this podcast need to exist now?In this very first episode, I’m sharing the story behind Hey Boss Mama, how motherhood completely changed the way I work, and why I felt such a strong need to create a space where mompreneurs could connect, feel less alone, and grow with more support.What you’ll walk away with:Why becoming a mom changed not just my schedule, but my identity, ambitions, and business prioritiesHow Hey Boss Mama grew from a podcast idea into a bigger mission around community, support, and shared growthWhy overwhelm and isolation are such common threads for mompreneurs, even when things look good from the outsideThis stuck with me:I did not just want to hear more business advice. I wanted real conversations with other mom entrepreneurs who understood what it actually feels like to build something while raising a child and carrying the mental load that comes with it.Next step:Join the Hey Boss Mama Facebook group and come connect with other mompreneurs who are figuring this out too.💡Dive deeper here: www.HeyBossMama.com/001🍓CONNECT WITH MANOUCHKA Instagram LinkedIn The Mompreneur Space Facebook Group Website👋 WHO AM I?Hey, I’m Manouchka Elefant, a business coach for mompreneurs with 15+ years in marketing.

It takes clear strategy, honest support, and the kind of accountability that helps you actually follow through. That’s what led me to create Hey Boss Mama, a space where we talk honestly about business, motherhood, mindset, and what it really takes to stop doubting and start executing.
