I'm winning in business, but at what cost?

My children need me, and they need me more than whatever product I'm trying to get into the world for strangers.

I grew up in the era where we were taught to be a girl boss.

Go and advance the corporate ladder while your kids are lacking. God has created man distinct from women.

That's right. And I do believe that he has knitted our hearts as mothers to our children.

There's no way that you can separate it. Dear young married mother and entrepreneur,

today's episode is for the woman who feels like her life

has been split into many tabs that all need attention at the same time.

Maybe you have student, motherhood, marriage, CEO, and just whatever that thing is that God

has put in your heart that you still want to build.

Today we sat down with Zim Flores,

a wife, mother of two, an author and an entrepreneur who has lived through multiple seasons of building and releasing. And her work has been featured in places like Forbes, Time, Elle,

essence, NPR, glamour, many places. And after more than a decade as an entrepreneur,

she's currently in a deliberate pause season from teaching business online. And this conversation

is mostly about motherhood and the transitions that come with it. The identity shifts,

the emotional load, the way your capacity changes from one season

to the next, and how wise women adapt instead of forcing life to fit some old version of themselves.

So Zim also shares what it looks like to keep a quiet threat of entrepreneurship alive

through real estate investments without

letting it compete with the more important work that's happening at home right now.

So if you've been asking, you know, am I falling behind or do I need to push harder or is

it okay to slow down for a while, you're going to feel seen in this one.
