In this week’s episode of Mother Founder Musings, I’m getting honest about the parts of motherhood and entrepreneurship that no one really prepares you for.

From the guilt of sending my preschooler to childcare when he’s saying he doesn’t want to go, to the overwhelming mental load of traveling with kids, to the surprising resentment I feel toward my dogs (yes, really), I’m unpacking it all.

I also dive into:

💛 Why the “freedom” of entrepreneurship isn’t always what it seems

💛 The invisible weight of being the glue for everyone kids

💛 How leadership can feel lonelier the bigger your team gets

💛 The difference between building something that works and building something that matters

And, as always, I close with a shout‑out to another inspiring mother founder: Vera Milan Gervais, author of The Wordz We Wear, who’s been blazing this trail for decades.

If you’ve ever found yourself feeling tapped out, overwhelmed by dependents (furry or otherwise), or lonely in your leadership role, this one’s for you. You are not alone.
