As more mothers enter the world of entrepreneurship, studies show that balancing passion and family can be overwhelming - even paralyzing.

The Boss Mom Podcast

Many children of immigrant parents often feel more stress and worry than their friends because of family expectations.    From a young age, they feel like they have to pay back their parents for all their hard work and sacrifices. This can cause feelings of being overwhelmed, constantly putting others first, and having difficult relationships with family.   A lot of second-generation adults think they have to carry this burden by themselves because they feel it’s their responsibility. But sometimes, these expectations might not even match what they really want for their own...

For moms juggling businesses and family, the pressure to "do it all" doesn’t just feel overwhelming—it feels impossible. The push to work faster, harder, and longer leads to exhaustion, frustration, and a sense of failure when life doesn’t go according to plan. 

For years, we’ve been sold the idea that hustle = success. But the more we embrace the hustle culture, the more we sacrifice our health, relationships, and happiness. There’s a better way to build your dream business, one that doesn’t leave you feeling drained.

How would your life and business look if you didn’t have to do everything all at once? What if slowing down and focusing on fewer things actually made you feel happier and more successful?

In this episode, I welcome back published author, keynote & TEDx speaker Jadah Sellner, who shares her “anti-hustle” approach to growing a business that nourishes your life instead of depleting it. If you've been feeling the pressure to juggle every role at lightning speed, this episode is your invitation to pause.

 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

  • Why hustling isn’t the only path to success

Hustle culture tells us to go faster, do more, and never stop. But what if slowing down actually helped you achieve more?

  • How to build a business that fits your life

You can create a business that makes you happy and doesn’t leave you feeling tired all the time. How can you enjoy your work without feeling overwhelmed?

  • Why saying "no" is important
