In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, I'm sitting down with a truly inspiring mom and business owner who shares how a life-threatening complication following the birth of her baby changed the way she sees and approaches life and business.

After nearly losing her life, Andrea Jacobs, Owner of Thirteen Luxe, made the decision to pursue something more meaningful. She decided to build a business centered around celebration and making life's special moments count.

We also dive into her recent rebrand, what led her to make that shift, and what she's learned through the process. Plus, we have a real conversation about what it looks like to grow a side hustle while working a full time job and the fears, doubts, and planning that come with wanting to take that leap.

This episode is full of powerful mindset shifts like:

• Why staying connected to your why is so important as your business grows
• How setting a target date can create the real momentum you need
• What might change if you truly believed you couldnt fail
• And why taking the risk is always worth it even if it doesn't go as planned

If you're a mom building a business, dreaming of more, this conversation with challenge you, inspire you, and remind you that your life is worth celebrating right now, not someday.

In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, I’m joined by best friends and co-owners of The Little Needlepoint Shop, Kiri Domengeaux and Ellen Ishee, to talk about the powerful role hobbies can play in our lives as busy moms and entrepreneurs.

We dive into how their shared love of needlepointing started as a hobby and eventually grew into a thriving business. We also get into why not every hobby needs to become a business. Sometimes a hobby’s greatest value is the joy, peace, and balance it brings into your life.

We chat about:

• Why hobbies are productive (even if they don’t make money)
• How having something you love helps you stay connected to yourself throughout your motherhood journey
• The impact hobbies have on your mental health, nervous system, and overall balance
• What it’s like to run a business with a friend
• Why you don't need more time to fit a hobby into your life
• And how leaning into a positive “This WILL work out” mindset helped them take bold, fast action on a business idea that felt aligned with their passion

This conversation is about more than hobbies though, it’s about connection, creativity, and giving yourself permission to unplug in a world that constantly tells you to stay busy. We also talk about how hobbies can open doors to friendships, opportunities, and even unexpected business ideas.✨

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have time for a hobby, or you’ve been stuck in the mindset that every moment needs to be productive, this episode will offer a refreshing perspective and maybe inspire you to pick something back up that lights you up inside.🩷

What if the biggest key to business success wasn't working harder...but having more fun and being more authentic?

In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, I sit down with Victoria Racca, Owner of The MicroBlading Institute, Brow Sister Numbing Cream, and My Favorite Piercer Jewelry Line to talk about what it really looks like to build a bold, successful business that stays true to your "why" every step of the way.✨

We dive into why choosing a niche could be the most powerful decision you make in your business, how showing up authentically attracts the right clients, and why trying to sound like everyone else online can actually hold you back.

As moms and entrepreneurs, we also talk about the importance of designing your business around your life and your family. After all they're often the reason we start this journey in the first place right? Your business should support your life and not become the thing that steals you away from it. 💛

Here's what we chat about:

• Why niching down can skyrocket your growth
• How authenticity in business builds trust and attracts your ideal clients
• How creating an ideal client avatar and speaking directly to them in your messaging is everything
• The importance of replicable systems and process to help you juggle it all
• Designing your business on your own terms
• Why remembering your "why" matters more than ever as your business grows
• The connections between your confidence level, imposter syndrome, and relying to heavily on AI tools
• Why the right partner and support system at home plays a huge role in entrepreneurial success

If you've ever felt the pressure to be everything to everyone in your business, this episode will remind you that the real power comes from building a business that truly reflects who you are.

Because at the end of the day, the goal should be to build your dream business...not your nightmare.✨
