In Ep 43 we highlight: 

Entrepreneurship, business growth, & personal experiences in balancing business & parenting.

• Personal Life and Parenting Teenagers

  We discuss our experiences raising teenagers, including teaching them to drive & the challenges involved, running a business with a toddler to teenager & it's impact on the family dynamic. 

• Impact of Parental Entrepreneurship on Children

  Sara described how her daughter, after years of observing her mother's business, started her own polymer clay earring business and is now in her fourth year, demonstrating the positive influence and learning outcomes for children exposed to entrepreneurship.

• Helping Clients Achieve Their Dreams

  We share a shift from focusing on sales to helping clients achieve their dreams, sometimes without direct financial gain, & ep 43 highlights the importance of a holistic approach to client needs.

• Financial Literacy Gaps

  Many adults, even over the age of 30, do not know basic financial information such as their pay frequency or hourly wage, & rarely review pay stubs or bank statements.

• Pet Safety & Product Use

• Potential for New Product Development

• Emotional Vulnerability and Coping Mechanisms

  Open discussion about experiencing meltdowns, crying in front of children, and the importance of not bottling up emotions. Strategies include setting time limits for emotional release and using movies or humor as coping mechanisms.

• Support Networks and Communication Strategies

  Introduction of the 'eight minutes' code word for friends to signal a need for emotional support, referencing research that meaningful conversations require more than five minutes.

• Mothers’ Mental Load and Preparedness

  Anecdotes about mothers carrying extensive supplies (e.g., super glue, batteries) to be prepared for any situation, highlighting the mental load and anticipatory planning mothers often undertake.

Entrepreneurs can utilize support systems and strategic resource allocation, including hiring part-time help and leveraging tax credits, to manage business and family demands without waiting for perfect conditions.

Mothers often carry a significant mental and logistical load, being prepared for various contingencies, which is recognized by both children and peers.
