Today I’m sitting down with the founder of Crafted Aesthetics, a mom of three who has scaled her beauty business into six different cities across Montana… all while navigating motherhood, stress, and the reality of building something from the ground up.

And we’re not talking about the highlight reel.

We’re getting into:

• What it actually looks like to build a business with young kids at home
• The truth about scaling a multi-location aesthetic business
• Mom guilt, mental load, and the pressure to “do it all”
• The breaking points no one shares on social media
• How to grow a successful business without buying into toxic hustle culture

If you’ve ever felt stuck in corporate, overwhelmed at home, or unsure how to take that first step toward building something of your own—this conversation will hit home.

This is your reminder that you don’t need perfect conditions to start… you just need to start!

What if motherhood didn’t hold women back in business… but actually made them better entrepreneurs?

In this episode, I sit down with serial entrepreneur and founder of Female Mavericks, Beth Mazza, to talk about the realities of building a business while raising a family and why so many women feel torn between ambition and being present at home.

Beth shares her journey with building multiple successful businesses, and how becoming a mother doesn't limit your success or entrepreneurship, it can actually help you live in alignment with your true passions.

We dive into the pressures women face to “do it all,” the quiet signs you’ve outgrown your current career, and why so many women stay stuck in lives that look successful on paper but don’t actually feel fulfilling.

Beth also shares the inspiration behind her upcoming book Entrepreneur Like a Mother, releasing in September 2026, where she challenges the outdated narrative that women have to choose between motherhood and building something meaningful.

If you’re a working mom, aspiring entrepreneur, or someone who feels called to build a business rooted in your passion and purpose, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and empowered to rethink what success really looks like.

We also talk about how you can connect with Beth, sign up for her free newsletter, and follow her work as she continues helping women step into entrepreneurship with confidence.

Are you successful on paper but still feel unfulfilled?

In this episode, we’re diving into the hidden truth behind burnout, career dissatisfaction, and the growing number of people who feel stuck in a life they were told would make them happy.

So many of us follow the traditional path — get the degree, build the career, achieve success, and create stability — only to realize that external success doesn’t always lead to internal fulfillment.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected, restless, burned out, or questioned your career, purpose, or direction in life, you are not alone. Research shows that life satisfaction doesn’t automatically increase with professional achievement, and many high-achieving individuals struggle with feeling stuck, exhausted, or out of alignment.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why success doesn’t always equal happiness

• The psychology behind feeling stuck or unfulfilled

• Signs you’ve outgrown your career or current life path

• How societal expectations shape your definition of success

• Why burnout and emotional exhaustion are more common than ever

• How to reconnect with your purpose and build a more aligned life

This episode is for anyone experiencing burnout, career confusion, personal growth, or questioning their life direction — and ready to stop living on autopilot.

If you’re navigating a career change, healing from burnout, or searching for deeper meaning and fulfillment, this conversation will help you understand why you feel this way — and what it really means.

Share this episode with someone who feels stuck, burned out, or ready for a more aligned life.
