Inspired by James Clear, here's my year in review as a first-time mom and business owner in 2023. You'll learn what went well, what didn't go well, and my biggest lessons. Plus, a look into my focus for 2024. Feel free to use this method for yourself!

If you're unsure about wanting children and how to make that decision, this episode is for you. As a driven and creative woman, I was frightened by the idea of motherhood. I wondered if it meant losing my sense of self. Or postponing my goals until my children were grown. I worried about how society, and even my husband, would perceive me. In this episode, I'll share what almost made me reject the idea of having children, how I eventually realized I wanted them, and the most surprising parts of motherhood.

Motherhood. Entrepreneurship. Often, women are unsure if they can do both. Or if they even want both. Growing up, I believed motherhood meant losing yourself. And becoming invisible to the world. Boy, was I wrong. With a little girl now of my own, my idea of what women are capable of expanded. That’s why I love this conversation with Hayley Clark, founder of Honey Mark. As a mama of 4 and a successful business owner, I had to talk to her about being a woman, mother, and dreamer.

Studies show that most women suffer from lower self esteem for at least three years after having kids. The word mom tends to define women instead of becoming a role that they play. This week’s guest, Heather Steinker started chaos and cookies to keep moms from crumbling and helps them find their sweet spot. Whether that's starting a new business, going back to school, or getting healthier. If you want to learn how to approach your to do list without stress and find the balance between your role as a parent and you as a creative, ambitious, then this episode is for you.
