What happens when you’re a single mom, your life needs a reset, and you decide you’re done waiting for permission? In this episode of The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast, Angela sits down with Rebekah Higgs (DIY MOM)—a creator, renovator, designer, and former indie musician who rebuilt her life (and her career) by embracing the “make it happen” mindset.

Rebekah shares her powerful pivot from a struggling musician and waitress to building the DIY MOM brand, landing a TV series, and creating opportunities through resilience, creativity, and showing up imperfectly. This conversation is a refreshing reminder that you don’t need perfect conditions—you need the next brave step.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

• How Rebekah transitioned from music to film, content creation, and building the DIY MOM brand as a single parent
• Why “good enough” creates momentum and how letting go of perfection helps you move forward
• What it really looks like to build a business when income is inconsistent—and how to develop the entrepreneur mindset to handle it
• How Rebekah thinks about feminist entrepreneurship, scarcity vs. abundance, and being a trailblazer (even when others profit from the path you helped create)
• The practical strategy that protects your creativity: outsourcing, delegating, and making space for real rest
• How Rebekah models work ethic, values, and generosity for her daughter—and why community impact matters
• A powerful reflection for mompreneurs: don’t just follow passion—identify your talents (and ask others what they see in you)

Favorite Takeaways

• Perfection is a trap—progress is built through imperfect action and learning in public.
• Creativity requires space—burnout blocks vision, so build support systems sooner than you think you “deserve” them.
• Clarify your next step by naming your talents—sometimes the fastest path forward is what you’re already naturally good at.

Barbara’s story is raw, reflective, and deeply relatable — from walking away from a 22-year career to experiencing a spiritual awakening that reshaped her identity, her boundaries, and her definition of success.

• Why ordinary moments hold extraordinary meaning
• How to reclaim your energy, identity, and inner voice as you step into a new year

As we head into Thanksgiving week, many mompreneurs feel torn between gratitude and emotional overload. The holidays can awaken old patterns, activate expectations we didn’t know we were carrying, and leave us juggling business, motherhood, and emotional weight — all at once.

That’s why today’s conversation couldn’t come at a better time.

I’m welcoming back one of your favorite guests — Bronwyn Schweigerdt, psychotherapist, author, speaker, and host of the podcast Angry at the Right Things. Bronwyn helps us understand that anger isn’t something to hide or fix — it’s actually a powerful signal pointing us toward what matters most.

In this episode, we explore:
• Why the holidays activate emotional triggers for moms and mompreneurs
• How to communicate with children and family without walking on eggshells
• What it means to set boundaries with compassion — not guilt
• How to become your own mirror, instead of seeking approval from others
• How to carry emotional integration into the New Year

This conversation is real, hopeful, and deeply practical — especially if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed during the holidays or pressured to “make everything perfect” at the expense of your peace.

✨ 3 Takeaways You’ll Walk Away With

1. How to release guilt around holiday expectations and protect your peace
2. Tools to communicate emotional needs with family & kids (even during conflict)
3. How to step into 2025 anchored in self-trust instead of perfection
