In this episode of AI for Mompreneurs, host Samantha Welch—homeschooling mom of 3 and values-led entrepreneur—sits down with Emily Collins, a fellow homeschool and unschooling mom of four, to talk about building a business that doesn’t compete with your family life—but flows from it.

If you’re an overwhelmed mom trying to balance your home, kids, and business (and constantly wondering if something’s got to give), this episode is a breath of fresh air. Emily shares how she co-leads a successful coaching and mastermind business while homeschooling her kids, waking up at 4:30 a.m. for peace, and using tools like Notion and ChatGPT to create scalable systems that don’t require her constant oversight.

They also discuss:

• What it really looks like to set boundaries in business as a mom

• How to define and live by your family values (and how that simplifies every decision)

• Why AI tools like ChatGPT aren’t just for tech people—and how Emily uses them to build systems that scale

• What it looks like to balance entrepreneurship and motherhood without burning out

• How Emily’s mastermind business started organically—and sold out twice

Whether you’re just starting out, stuck in survival mode, or trying to grow a business with intention, this episode will help you rethink what’s possible when your business is rooted in your values—not just the latest strategy or trend.

Moms building a business in the margins of nap time, homeschool, or real life
Mamas tired of doing it the hard way
Moms looking for clarity, boundaries, and smart tools (like AI!) to finally carry some of the mental load
Moms who love their kids and want something that’s theirs
Moms who value sustainability, intention, and growth without hustle

In this episode, I share a behind-the-scenes look at how I used ChatGPT to update my photography website and respond to podcast pitch emails—all before heading into town. You’ll hear exactly how I trained my assistant to do the heavy lifting when it comes to SEO, alt text, email responses, and more.

5 Practical Takeaways:

• Use AI to write SEO-rich descriptions and alt text for your website—just feed it your location, offer, and audience.

• Let AI handle tasks you’d normally outsource (like writing meta tags or crafting outreach replies).

• A trained AI assistant can evaluate guest pitches based on your values and goals.

• You don’t need to sound like yourself in SEO copy—just make it Google-friendly.

• AI can save you hours of mental load once it’s trained to think like you.
