We are talking about balancing being a mom and an entrepreneur in this episode with my friend Emily, another Detroit mom. This was such an exciting episode to hear Emily’s journey of the early start of social media management and where she ended up. We go over the positive and negative of social media,and safety for your children. We go over how Emily balances her life and work with baby #4 on the way, all while writing a fiction book. This is a great conversation to hear a success story from a mother doing it all, we need more of this to keep inspiring other moms to go after what they love to do.

You have to have a lot of courage and heart, there will always be critics but you just show up and keep doing what you are doing.
The only way to get better is to get comfortable with being green at one point and know that you will get better.
We need more mothers doing what they love with work and having a family to pave th way for other mothers to do the same.
The good of one is the good of the whole, every mother has their own personal story and there is room for everyone. Women need to get out of the competition and envious mindset of each other.
