As a parent and business owner, I often find myself pondering the delicate balance between being present for my children and building a thriving business. It's a tightrope walk many of us know all too well. That's why I couldn't wait to sit down with Tori Bolt, the visionary co-founder of Bolt Farm Treehouse, for a heart-to-heart about legacy, motherhood, and entrepreneurship.

Tori's journey from news anchor to creator of award-winning luxury treehouses is nothing short of inspiring. But what truly captivated me was her raw honesty about the challenges of building a business while raising a family. She opened up about:

Embracing the Messy Middle

• How she and her husband Seth turned a failed venture into a million-dollar success story
• The power of betting on yourself, even when it feels terrifying
• Why "work-life balance" might be a myth, and what to strive for instead

Motherhood & Entrepreneurship: A Delicate Dance

• Tori's refreshing take on mom guilt and why working can actually benefit our children
• Practical tips for setting boundaries and being fully present (both at work and at home)
• The importance of giving yourself grace in different seasons of life

Building a Legacy That Matters

• How Bolt Farm Treehouse is cultivating experiences that strengthen relationships
• Why character and impact matter more than business success in the long run
• Tori's personal mantras for pushing through tough times

This conversation left me feeling simultaneously challenged and encouraged. Tori's vulnerability and wisdom remind us that it's possible to build something extraordinary without sacrificing what matters most.

"Anything we want to do, we can do it."

These words from Tori and Seth serve as a powerful reminder of our potential. Whether you're a parent, an entrepreneur, or simply someone chasing a big dream, this episode offers a dose of inspiration and practical advice to help you thrive.

So, pour yourself a cup of coffee (or perhaps that glass of red wine Tori mentioned), and join us for a conversation that might just change the way you approach work, family, and legacy-building.
