Motherhood & Business Part One: The Year That Shook My Identity (And How I Found My Way Back)

This year has been one of the most transformative (and challenging) of my life. After 10 years of being a business owner, my identity as "CEO" took a backseat as I stepped into motherhood—and it shook me to my core. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the real truth about what it's been like to juggle these two worlds. From questioning if I even wanted to run a business anymore to completely overhauling my business model, this year taught me more than I ever expected about resilience, clarity, and the danger of comparison. If you've ever felt lost in your journey or wondered how motherhood and business can coexist without sacrificing your sanity, this one's for you.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: The identity shift of becoming a mom after a decade as a business owner—and why it took me longer than I expected to get my mojo back. The two pivotal shifts that helped me gain clarity and move forward in both life and business. Why the business model I thought I wanted pre-babies ended up being completely wrong for me. The reality of balancing ambition and family—and why comparing your journey to others is a dangerous game. Practical insights for rediscovering your purpose and building a business that fits your current life (not the life you planned a year ago).   Biz Resources/Links   →Get Your Best Year Yet Business Planning Template for $33: https://meganyelaney.com/bestyearyet    →Unlock the unique power of *you* and turn your content into a magnet that pulls in the right clients—effortlessly with my Distinctive Edge coaching program.
