In this honest episode of The Self-Made Life Podcast, Ashley Wyatt — Creative Director of Monarch Design Co. — pulls back the curtain on the reality of growing a design studio through two maternity leaves in two years.

How Ashley navigated two maternity leaves in two years
Why scaling looked totally different than she expected
The support gap for creative moms growing mid-stage businesses
