Lessons From a Mom Running a Business Full of Toddlers | Kristina Babina

from SwissCast Shows: Where Swiss Life Meets English Voices

How do you stay committed to a big vision when motherhood and business both demand so much from you?Kristina Babina helps families access better childcare while building a growing daycare business, and in this episode we talk about what it really takes to think long term, build strong systems, and create something bigger than a job for yourself.What Kristina shares:Why going back to work 7 days after giving birth was a deliberate business decisionWhy a good entrepreneur is never truly aloneHow the childcare system in French-speaking Switzerland puts pressure on families, and why she is pushing for a model that gives parents more choice and flexibility.This stuck with me:When Kristina talks about knowing the difference between being self-employed and being an entrepreneur. What matters is the mindset shift. Most mompreneurs are solopreneurs, but that does not mean they need to do everything themselves. Building something sustainable often starts with letting go of the idea that you have to carry it all alone and allowing yourself to rely on other people, systems, and support.More from Kristina Babina:IG @babina970www.babinakristina.comWebsite www.totup.ch💡Dive deeper here: www.HeyBossMama.com/022🍓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 and a specialization in positive psychology.

😱 How do I run my business in just 2 days a week? No, I don’t have a full team of VAs — just one (sort of): ChatGPT. In my free masterclass, AI for Mompreneurs, I show you how I actually use AI to save time, write faster, and still sound like myself. Watch time: 30 min ☕️🎥 www.heybossmama.com/ai What’s the difference between creating a job for yourself… and building a business that can thrive without you?
