In this episode of Kitchen Island HQ, I’m sharing a more personal look into what building a business alongside motherhood has actually looked like for me and how I became a Dubsado specialist.

From taking client calls with a baby in the carrier to navigating the guilt, stress, and flexibility that comes with working from home while raising kids — this episode is an honest conversation about doing both.

We’re talking about:

• Building a more sustainable business after becoming a mom
• The pressure and fear around working with a baby at home
• Why flexibility matters so much to me
• The reality of childcare, daycare schedules, and last-minute changes
• Letting your kids watch you build something
• Why I started this podcast
• Releasing guilt around wanting both motherhood and a business

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re allowed to want both a successful business and time with your family, this episode is for you.
