The Work Like A Mother Podcast | Working From Home, Working Moms, Women Health, Organization, Time Management
by Marina Tolentino
Aloha, I’m Marina. A mother to 2 under age 10, wife, and a multi-passionate entrepreneur. I tried hustling harder, faster, stronger by following the lie that success means I have to sacrifice my time with my family in order to build a business. I was victim to believing if only I worked MORE, I could someday have it all - that mythical magical work-life balance. I finally realized that if I really wanted a life where I could be present with my family AND have a profitable business that worked while I slept, I needed to let go of control and duplicate myself.

If you are ready to finally find a road map that is built for busy working moms… Time blocking tools that are simple and automated… Results that transfor
