Why validation seeking is needed for moms in business

There’s something every mom needs, but no one is talking about it. It’s not more sleep (though that would be nice). It’s not better time management. It’s validation. Motherhood shifts everything. It changes how we see ourselves, what we want, and what we believe is possible. And in the process, many moms start to feel lost, stuck, or even question whether they still have dreams of their own. If you’ve ever felt like you’re procrastinating, self-sabotaging, or just spinning your wheels, this episode will help you understand why—and what you can do about it. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why having kids creates an identity crisis no one prepares you for The real reason you keep procrastinating (and it’s not just time management) Why your kids and your partner can’t give you the kind of validation you need How starting a business becomes a journey of self-discovery The secret to getting unstuck and actually moving forward Why community, collaboration, and connection are essential for moms in business If you’ve been feeling behind, struggling to take action, or wondering if success is even possible for you, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need.
