If you’ve ever thought, “I missed my shot,” this one’s for you. Today I’m calling out the myth that success has an expiration date and showing you why your 30s and 40s are actually your superpower. I share how I launched my first business at 35, scaled it, sold it, and then started One Wild Brand at 38 – with more clarity, boundaries, and alignment than ever.

We’ll talk about late-bloomer examples, why experience beats hustle culture, and how to start a business or podcast without getting stuck in perfection. Spoiler: there’s always room for the version only you can build.

What You’ll Hear

• Why “too late” is a lie – and who benefits from you believing it
• How starting later gives you clarity, confidence, and stronger boundaries
• The 30-second mindset shift to get moving today
• Why podcasting is still wide open – and exactly how to begin
• The “toolbox” exercise to surface the skills and stories you already have

Building businesses while raising babies isn’t a Pinterest-perfect feed. It’s yogurt spills on new sneakers, colicky nights, and figuring out how to keep moving forward when the “work during naps” advice doesn’t cut it. In this episode, I get real about what it looked like to grow (and sell) my first company while becoming a mom – and what it looks like now, building One Wild Brand with a toddler and a newborn.

Whether you’re a fellow mompreneur or just curious how anyone juggles both, you’ll walk away with perspective, encouragement, and a few strategies that made the hard days survivable (and the good days worth celebrating).

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why I chose to start a business while pregnant (and what fueled my “why”)
• A day-in-the-life of running a company with a newborn and toddler
• The role of support systems – from family to outsourcing help
• Why I sold my first business before baby #2 (and how that opened the door to One Wild Brand)
• The truth behind “work while the baby naps”
• How I’m building differently now – vision boards, planners, and outsourcing
• Why celebrating micro-wins matters just as much as hitting the big ones

Resources & Mentions

• Flodesk – my go-to email platform for opt-ins and automated sequences
• The Pink Stuff Spray – my new best friend for toddler messes
• Paper Planner + Vision Board – my non-negotiables for staying anchored

Social media is cute, but it’s not where the real conversions happen. 🫢

In this episode, I’m diving into why email marketing is the real MVP of business growth and why I’m obsessed with Flodesk for making it simple, beautiful, and actually effective.

We’ll chat about:

• Why relying only on social media is like shouting into a crowded room (and what to do instead)
• How email marketing gives you a direct line to your dream clients
• Real results from my clients who started sending branded Flowdesk emails
• Why I switched from Mailchimp to Flowdesk (and never looked back)
• The exact tools Flowdesk gives you to grow your list, nurture leads, and boost conversions

If you’ve been dragging your feet on starting an email list, this is your sign to start now. Your list is your business safety net - and it’s time to treat it like the MVP it is.
