In this short and reflective episode of Voted Least Likely, I’m talking about Mother’s Day—specifically, how complex and emotional this day can be, and how I choose to navigate it as a small business owner. While Mother’s Day is often marketed as a purely joyful celebration, the truth is that it can be a difficult day for many. From grief and loss to strained relationships and unmet expectations, this day holds a lot more than just flowers and brunch. As someone who builds community through storytelling and intentional connection, I think it’s important to acknowledge those emotions—and to share how I approach my brand messaging with sensitivity, honesty, and heart. 🎧If you’ve ever struggled to balance empathy and messaging during emotional holidays—this might help you find your footing.
