🎧 Episode Title: Not Just Mom
👩‍🦳 Main Character: Courtney

✨ Story Summary:
Courtney is a homeschooling mom of six who loves her family deeply, but she also wants more. When she realizes her teenager is making the kind of money she wishes she could, she sets out to start a mobile dog grooming business. The only catch? Keeping the house running while chasing her dream. Through fictional storytelling, we follow her journey of fighting mom guilt, finding systems that work, and discovering that it’s okay to build something just for her.

💼 Business Lessons:

• A business is only as sustainable as the systems behind it.

• Delegate and organize to create space for your dreams.

• You don’t have to choose between motherhood and entrepreneurship—you can be both.

• Feeling guilty doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re growing.
