206: Fan Favorite Replay: Don't Call Me a Mompreneur

Are you a working mom?

In today’s episode of Leading Lady, I’m talking about the unique challenges and circumstances I have faced as a working mom myself. Before you think that this episode is about how much harder it is being a working mom than it is for other women in business, I want to say that I have tried very hard not to tie up my identity in motherhood.

I believe that we are unique and whole just as women alone. Our roles as moms and entrepreneurs are just other facets of us.

This is why I am not a fan of words like mompreneur and mom boss. They get under my skin because my husband has never been called a dadpreneur or a dad boss. In general, men don’t lead with parenthood as their identifier.

I’m not going to debate who has it harder in this episode, glorify working moms, or minimize women building careers without children. The purpose of this episode is simply to share that yes, I am a mom, I do run my own businesses alongside raising my family, and it does present some challenges.

If you are a mom and you want to feel validated, seen, heard, or just get some tips on how to balance it all, make sure to tune in to this episode.
