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.

Is it possible to have babies and successful businesses? Heck yeah, we can do whatever we want, but we can’t pretend that there aren’t challenges that come with running a business and raising kids. Don’t ignore them - embrace them and allow them to exist.

The more we acknowledge and lovingly accept the truth of being a parent, the less hard we are on ourselves, and that makes this journey a lot easier.

What inevitable challenges will we experience as business owners with kids? What are some of the most rewarding and amazing parts of being Boss Moms?

In this episode, we’re having a real, candid conversation about how our kids impact our businesses.

 

When you’re hard on yourself, it makes it harder, and when you’re telling yourself you should be further along, it makes success less joyful. -Dana Malstaff

 

3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • The effect of being too hard on ourselves
    Why do we have to stop believing something is wrong with us when our journey is different?

  • What do we need to lovingly accept about running businesses as parents?
    How do children change the way we build and run our businesses?

  • The reward of having a business and children
    What do our kids learn from seeing us build something from the ground up?

As entrepreneurs and moms, our lives are made up of future plans, full schedules and urgency, which robs us of the ability to slow down and focus on what really matters.

Sometimes it’s necessary for us to pump the brakes, get quiet with ourselves and pay attention to what’s happening internally.

How do we make sure we’re not packing our schedules to avoid our real feelings?

In this delightful conversation, I’m joined by the host of the Goal Digger Podcast and author of the upcoming book, “How Are You, Really?”, Jenna Kutcher. We talk about the importance of quietness, slowing down and being with ourselves more.

 

I’ve really pumped the brakes in a lot of ways and a lot of spaces in my business, trusting that I know where the gas pedal is when I’m ready to run again. -Jenna Kutcher

It often feels like not doing all the things means that we'll miss out, fall short, and fall behind. At the same time, we fail to play big because we don't want to trip and stumble in front of the world.

Unfortunately, this makes us fall victim to both shiny object syndrome and getting stuck rather than making progress.

In this heartwarming conversation with life coach Deb Blum, we reveal how to stay out of the FOMO trap and also stop playing small in our lives.

"Everything ends up happening even slower when you don’t allow space for things." -Dana Malstaff

 

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

In this episode, Tosha Schore, a mother-son relationship expert, reveals how we can build a genuine connection with our sons, and help them feel loved and understood so we can create a more fruitful relationship with them.
