Building something from scratch when your kids are on track out? A whole different level.
They need attention.
The business needs attention.
Both feel like toddlers some days.
At the end of the day, kids are kids. They don’t understand deadlines, investor calls, or “just 10 more minutes.” They just know whether mom is present or not.
And then there’s the business — still young, still fragile, needing constant nurturing, systems, patience, belief.
Some days I feel stretched.
Some days I feel guilty.
Most days I feel grateful.
Because this season — the chaos, the noise, the half-finished to-do lists — is also the season of building.
Building a company. Building humans. Building resilience.
Mom life. Founder life.
Both messy. Both beautiful.
