You stop counting down the minutes till bedtime, at least most days.

Friend, I am so ready to share this really chill, really friendly conversation with Raina Pomeroy.

Raina is such a beautiful person and she actually has a really special place in my heart because she used to host this podcast.

Actually, she was co-hosted. It was the Creative Empire podcast. I'll share a link to my episode.

It was such a really great podcast and it's not active anymore, but I did my first ever business interview on her podcast.

It was the first time that I ever got to share my business story, which if you have listened to episode six of the Purpose Show, you know that's a really emotional story.

Raina and I sobbed and she sobbed and her co-host Christina, another beautiful soul.

She sobbed and we all just kind of like talked together about the emotions that are involved in starting a business and seeing it start to succeed and getting through the hard parts.

Raina has just been somebody that I followed for years and she's just amazing.

She's a certified coach and a founder of her own business called Raina and Co.

She created this really amazing program called Dreamy Client Magnet. Basically, she helps creative entrepreneurs get super laser focused so they can book more of their dream clients with a lot more ease and get paid to do what they love and have freedom and flexibility to enjoy their life and to enjoy the life they built, which I think is super important.

And one reason I love following Raina because she doesn't just focus on like business and marketing stuff. She focuses on life and living it well and enjoying what you built.

She's just an amazing speaker, a certified coach and educator, an author, a podcaster. I just adore her. She has been featured in all kinds of cool places including top iTunes podcasts, entrepreneur.com, the influencer podcast, entrepreneur entrepreneur on fire, Britain Co,

Huffington Post, the rising tide society. This girl is everywhere and for good reason. She's an amazing teacher and just really, really like I said, a beautiful person.

She is a mom to a five-year-old. She was about to have her second baby when we recorded this episode. He has been born and the family is happy and healthy. I'm so happy for them.

We just really went a different way with this episode. I kind of just came into this conversation with almost no notes. I just really wanted to talk with Raina about how she finds her version of balance in being a business owner and a mom and a wife, how do her and her husband connect and plan out their weeks, how is she preparing for her baby's arrival, how does she seemingly do so much so well?

What does life look like for her right now? This is a really, really loose structure episode. Normally I come a lot more pre-prepped and I just really didn't want to do that with Raina. I see her as a friend and I really wanted to approach this episode in that way.

So if conversations about all the things between two working moms, it is not your thing then maybe this episode is not going to flow to about, but I definitely made me happy to sit and talk with my friend and just hear what she had to say about so many different things from business and motherhood and pregnancy and fertility, just rhythms and routines and getting it all done, fitting it all in.

So this is a great conversation that I'm happy to share with you and there is so much that is mentioned in this episode, like so many good resources.

And I link to all of it in the show notes so you can go there if you want to see anything that Raina mentioned. She's just got like one of those girls that's loaded with resources.
