Steven Bartlett doesn't wipe bottoms. And I think we should talk about that.
If you're building a business while also raising kids, this one is for you. I'm sharing my honest story of how motherhood completely changed my business journey (the fog, the guilt, the exhaustion) and the shifts that finally helped me find my way through it.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT...
- Why becoming a mother felt like losing myself completely
- The guilt cycle of feeling bad for working AND bad for not working
- Why advice from Bartlett, Hormozi and co. just isn't built for us
- How I started creating non-negotiables to protect my time
- Why being a business-owning mum is actually one of the most powerful things your kids can witness
- The importance of giving yourself grace in this season of life
- I also share the parts that don't get talked about enough.
- The identity shift that comes with having a baby.
- The fog of early motherhood.
- Feeling like a failure because you can't keep up.
- And why comparing yourself to people who aren't in your season of life is keeping you stuck.
Because you can be a mum and build a wildly successful business. We'll do it together.

| 0:00.0 | I saw this really the day that said this, Stephen Bartlett does not wipe bottoms. |
| 0:06.3 | And I think we should talk about this. For all the moms out there who are also building |
| 0:10.8 | businesses, this one is for us because it can be really tough. And let's be honest, a lot of the |
| 0:16.7 | business advice out there in the online business space is dominated by a lot of men that don't |
| 0:22.4 | have children. Sometimes the advice they can give doesn't feel like it quite works for us mothers. |
| 0:28.0 | Just really quick before we go on, I have left a link in the description for a really exciting |
| 0:33.0 | free upcoming challenge we're hosting called Ideas to Income. So if you want to go deeper with me |
| 0:38.1 | and I'm going to give you my entire blueprint on literally how you can start generating consistent |
| 0:43.4 | income in your online business, then click through on a link, sign up for free and I will see |
| 0:48.1 | there. If you have an online business and you are also a mother, then you know how challenging this actually is. Before I had my first |
| 0:57.6 | child, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Like, I just thought I'd have this baby, |
| 1:02.2 | I'd do my work, I'd be with the baby, I'd do my work, and I really didn't think much beyond that. |
| 1:06.9 | I did not realize the change that I was going to go through in myself when my first child was born. |
| 1:13.1 | I didn't realize it's like this metamorphosis, like you become like a completely different person, |
| 1:17.9 | or at least for me I was. And I just don't know that we talk about this enough. |
| 1:21.4 | And I want to share with you my story of how motherhood really changed my own business journey. |
| 1:28.8 | Talk about the struggles and the reality and the truth of it. |
| 1:31.9 | And also, especially when so many of the people we perhaps are listening to or seeing influences |
| 1:37.0 | online, whether it's social media or wherever, are maybe giving us advice that just does not |
| 1:41.7 | fit for the season of life that we are in because it's true. Stephen Bartlett doesn't white bottoms right now. He is not perhaps waking up 50 million times in the middle of the night with a baby or a child that needs them. And it's a totally different reality. For me, before I had kids, I was working all the time. Like I was obsessed with my business. I was thinking about it all the time. |
| 2:01.8 | I was excited about it. I was fired up. I was super inspired. I was really focused. And it was so |
| 2:07.2 | exciting. And then October 2018, I had my son. Obviously, you're in this baby bubble, which is great. |
