Failing Motherhood is 4 years old and Wholeheartedly is 5! We’re taking this opportunity to reflect on the last two years and the lessons I’ve learned - some easily, some the hard way.

Entrepreneurship is such a similar journey to parenting - you don’t know what you’re getting into exactly, it’s much harder than anticipated, it requires a lot of self-work and growth, and it’s riddled with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. You have to take it one day at a time and make new decisions with every piece of new information.

Take these 5 Lessons into your current business, potential business idea, or parenting journey, and know that your confidence is everything!

‌

IN THIS EPISODE I SHARED:

• The Importance of “pruning” over innovating at this stage
• What I attribute the consistent success of Wholeheartedly to
• How to relate these lessons to your parenting

DON'T MISS:

• Why “going viral” doesn’t mean what we think it does

This week we’re taking parenting tips from Hello Fresh!

In ways you may not have realized, being a parent is sort of like working in customer service. In our case, the customer isn’t always right, but the way we handle conflict may invite our child to ask for our manager! :)

Your goal as a parent is to build credibility and trust in your “brand” rather than bad reviews! As I reveal the two mistakes well-intentioned parents make, you'll be invited to reflect on your default reaction and formulate a balanced response instead.

In this episode, I share…

• How to embrace conflict even when it makes you uncomfortable
• Two different ways you can take feedback, criticism or complaints from your child
• A quote that’s shaped every single day of my parenting

Don’t Miss:

• How my missing package was handled by Hello Fresh (and whether I recommend them or NOT)‌
