The Boss Mom Podcast

Welcome AMAZING BOSS MOM We are so glad you found us because that means you have a burning desire to create something in this world...something that positively impacts people AND also makes you money. You are in the right place. Here at Boss Mom, we know all too well the challenges of raising babies and businesses at the same time and you need more than just great resources (which we have) you also need a strong support system (we have that too). Just like all moms you need a simple business because life is complex and you should never have to apologize for having a sometimes unpredictable schedule. You can build a really successful (and profitable) business in 15 hours a week, you just have to know how (and we are going to show you). We interview amazing ladies who share their struggles and successes as well as solo episodes where I guide you through our Nurture to Convert System designed to help Boss Moms raise their business and babies at the same time. I'm Dana Malstaff, founder and CEO of Boss Mom LLC, and I'll be your host.

Oftentimes we pay lots of money to coaches and masterminds to help us gain that perspective…but what if we could learn big, life-changing things from movies? In this episode I’m sharing five must-see movies that I think might just change your life and perspective as a mom entrepreneur (and at the very least, give you an enjoyable evening with a glass of wine!)

Sometimes life and business can take interesting turns, and in this episode I'm talking with the lovely Jenny Stemmerman, creator of the Your Life Rocks podcast, all about how to find and embrace success in surprising places!

 

Jenny describes herself as a "recovering workaholic" who spent over a decade climbing up the corporate ladder while the rest of her life took the back burner and fell completely out of balance. She decided to make a change in her life, create systems to help her create more balance, and now she is passionate about teaching those systems to other Christian working moms through her company, Your Life Rocks, while also running an escape room (yes, seriously!) in Oregon with her husband.

Sometimes when we need clarity in our lives and business, the first place we should look isn’t somewhere external, but rather the experiences we’ve been through personally in our own lives. In this episode I’m going to share a very personal story and how going through that experience led me to see my business and approach my business in an entirely different way. It led to me recognizing the value and importance of honoring the things we create in our businesses by giving them time, space and single-minded focus, and how we can truly begin to grow our businesses more by doing less.

Since the beginning of time, people have been asking themselves questions like, "Who am I? Why am I that way? What am I here for?" and as Boss Moms our answers to these questions play a huge part in both how we live our lives and run our businesses.

Laura stands the overstretched business mom, who wants to create growth, ease and peace for herself and her whole family through a more confident, intuitive approaching to life, parenting and business.

Networking has often gotten a bad rep in the world of business for being slimy or disingenuous, and for all you introverts out there, likely makes you want to jump out of your skin.

As a business owner (and a human being in general) it's natural to desire to be respected. But it's important that we are mindful of how we're garnering the respect we receive. 

 

I recently heard the question, "do you demand respect or command respect" and I just love it. the two words seem pretty similar, but there are some distinct differences that I'm going to walk through in this episode today.

Jul 25, 2017

Do you self care? Do you think you self care well? As parents and entrepreneurs we often think of ourselves last, which means that our personal self care often comes last.

 

And I'm not just talking manicures and pedicures. I'm talking about how we're taking care of our bodies, minds and souls - how we're treating ourselves.

 

Today I'm joined by the lovely Erin Kendall, an American Council on Exercise Certified Personal Trainer with 2 little toddlers at home.

 

While juggling a household, two kids, three pets and maintaining a little sense of self she hopes to bring a ray of hope and sunshine to other busy moms through her company, Fit Mom Go.

 

Erin has been a personal trainer since 2009 and works with clients in person, online and maintains a community of other Fit Moms through an easy to follow workout program!

Influencer marketing is an industry that has grown leaps and bounds over the years as online business and e-commerce have boomed, so today I want to talk about the "new"world of influencer marketing and how you can leverage it to build both your community and your business.

In this episode we are talking about a few of the tools we use and love to systemize and streamline collaborating with other people in both our lives and businesses. If you've ever wished that collaborating weren't so complicated or overwhelming, be sure to tune in!

Jul 13, 2017

My new book, Confessions of a Boss Mom (which just hit #1 on Amazon for Motivational Self Help!)  is what inspired this episode, and I think it’s something that’s important to talk about because it’s something that doesn’t impact just us, but also everyone else around us.

 

This is a quick, fundamental episode touching on a key way I think we should approach life, that I think will make a difference in how we feel about ourselves, how we feel about others, how we raise our children, and how we engage in our businesses.
