6 things i’ve learned about balancing businesses + babies
Being a mom and an entrepreneur at the same time is not for the faint of heart. Between school drop-offs, snack requests, and late-night deadlines, there are days when it feels impossible to “do it all.” But here’s what I’ve learned so far — and what I remind myself of daily:
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Rest isn’t lazy; it’s essential. A rested mom is a better mom and businesswoman.
Systems save sanity. A family calendar, a shared grocery list, and even automating bills make a huge difference.
Boundaries are love. Saying no to extra commitments means saying yes to more presence with your kids.
Work doesn’t have to be 9–5. Sometimes the best brainstorming happens while pushing a stroller or waiting in the school pickup line.
Your kids are watching. They see your grit, your determination, your creativity. That’s powerful.
Balance isn’t a destination. It’s a dance. Some weeks business takes the lead, other weeks family does — and that’s okay.
If you’re a mom juggling both, know this: you’re not behind. You’re showing your children what resilience and passion look like.
