Welcome to the very first episode of Moms Make Money Podcast! If you’re a mom who’s ever felt torn between raising your kids and building a business you love, you’re in exactly the right place.
I started the Moms Make Money Collective with one big belief: you don’t have to choose between motherhood and entrepreneurship—you can have both. Not in a “perfectly balanced” kind of way (spoiler alert: balance is a myth), but in a sustainable, life-giving way that allows you to grow your income and impact while still being present with your family.
In this episode, I want to share the story behind the Moms Make Money Podcast and why I’m so passionate about supporting moms like you who are ready to stop sacrificing and start thriving.
Why I Started Moms Make Money
Back in 2016, before kids were even on the horizon, I started my first business while juggling a full-time job, planning a wedding, and finishing my master’s degree. Sounds like a lot, right? It was. But I knew even then that I wanted the flexibility to create a business that would allow me to be present for my future kids without being chained to a corporate 9–5.
By January 2017, I was running my business full time. And in 2019, when I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I was so grateful that I had already laid the foundation for a business that could fit around my family life.
Fast forward to June 2020—my son was born right in the middle of the pandemic. Three years later, with baby number two on the way, I can confidently say I’ve learned what it takes to run a business as a mom. And trust me—it looks very different from running a business pre-kids.
The Heart Behind the Podcast
So, why launch the Moms Make Money Podcast? Because I know firsthand that running a business as a mom comes with a unique set of challenges. Time is limited, childcare is often inconsistent, and the mental load of motherhood is real.
Most moms I know aren’t looking for hustle-culture advice or “just work harder” tips. They’re looking for sustainable strategies, encouragement, and real talk about what it’s like to grow a business while raising little ones.
That’s exactly what you’ll find here. The podcast (and this blog) will cover:
-
Business growth strategies for moms – from visibility to systems to monetization.
-
Motherhood support – because if you’re up all night with a teething baby or struggling through potty training, that impacts your ability to show up in your business.
-
Stories from other moms – guest experts and real-life entrepreneurs who are making it happen in the margins of motherhood.
Moms Make Money Means Doing Business Differently
Here’s the truth: you don’t need 40+ hours a week to build a thriving business. You don’t need to sacrifice your family time or burn yourself out trying to do it all. What you need are the right systems, strategies, and support so you can use your limited time effectively.
That’s the heart of Moms Make Money—helping you build a business that fits your life, not the other way around.
Some weeks, that might mean working during nap times and evenings. Other weeks, it might mean batching content during childcare hours. And sometimes, it might mean giving yourself grace and taking a step back when motherhood needs your full attention.
What’s Coming Next
In upcoming episodes of the Moms Make Money Podcast, I’ll be sharing more of my story—from my early days as a burnt-out social media manager to running a thriving podcast agency as a soon-to-be mom of two.
You’ll also hear from other incredible moms who are building businesses in the margins of motherhood. Together, we’ll cover everything from visibility and marketing to sleep struggles and self-care—because you can’t separate life as a mom from life as an entrepreneur.
