In this heartfelt episode, Sharon chats with Chantelle, owner of Provost Pets & Livestock Supply. Chantelle shares how her love for animals sparked her business idea and how motherhood changed the way she ran the business. We dig into startup realities, working through economic swings and life changes, and why community support (and a great mother-in-law!) can be the difference-maker for entrepreneurs.
Chantelle opens up about her own challenges over the years, including several months spent in the NICU after her first child was born and running a growing shop while parenting (and homeschooling) two busy kids—often right from the store’s playroom. While we talk about boundaries, trade-offs, and scheduling, it always comes back to what keeps her going through the challenges: helping people and their animals every single day.
