S1E2 Welcome to the second episode of The Illumine Podcast, where host Kim Peters brings together three incredible business owners to get real about the challenges of being a woman in business.

Today, dive into the elusive concept of work-life balance, a topic so many people struggle with. Hear some unfiltered experiences, from the logistical hurdles of managing staff and family to the emotional weight of being a boss. The conversation covers why there's no single recipe for balance, the unexpected reality of being a "workaholic," and the unique challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated business world. We hope you'll feel empowered and validated in your own journey by this honest and inspiring discussion.

Welcome to the first episode of the Illumine podcast! I'm your host, Kim Peters. Six years ago, I never would have imagined I'd be where I am today—a business owner with two medspas in the Kansas City area. My journey started in a very different place, as a nurse practitioner working a typical hospital job.

In this episode, I'll share how a stressful, life-changing event led me to seek a different path, and how a friend's advice pushed me into the world of esthetics. I'll also dive into the emotional rewards of helping people feel better about themselves and how that became the fuel for my success.

Whether you're a woman in business, a mom, or just someone trying to improve your health, I hope my story gives you the encouragement you need!
