What started as a few random TikTok videos filmed in her bathroom has turned into a social media career with millions of followers, major brand collaborations, and now her very own skincare line.

And she never planned for any of it.

In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, I'm sitting down with Chasity Theriot, aka The Lady In Tge Bathroom. She's known for her entertaining skincare routines, dancing, larger than life personality, and she's sharing how she accidentally became a social media influencer and what it's really like to turn an online following into a business.

From leaving behind a 13 year career as a dental assistant to navigating brand partnerships, learning the business side of content creation, and preparing to launch her skincare brand, TGE Skin, she shares the opportunities, challenges, and lessons that have come with building a career she never saw coming.

But behind the millions of followers and viral videos is also a mom who's learning to navigate the same things so many of us are: burnout, self-doubt, the pressure to constantly show up, and the challenge of being present for our children while pursuing big dreams.

We talk about the power of authenticity, why consistency matters, how to find and connect with your people online, and what happens when you're suddenly responsible for every aspect of running a business.

We also get into the importance of giving yourself grace, defining what "good enough" looks like in different seasons of motherhood and entrepreneurship, and remembering that sometimes the most powerful thing you can believe about yourself is that you can always figure it out.

Whether you're building an online audience, growing a small business, or simply trying to find your footing as a mom with big dreams, this conversation is full of relatable moments, practical takeaways, and a reminder that you don't have to have it all figured out to build something incredible.✨

What happens when the side hustle you started to pay off your student loans suddenly takes off faster than you ever expected?

In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, I sit down with Megan Carrier, founder of Mac Designs & Co., to talk about her journey from teaching herself how to make graphic tees and bleaching shirts in her driveway to designing her own clothing line and working with a manufacturer.

In 2023, one of Megan’s Mardi Gras shirts went viral and suddenly she was producing more than 1,000 shirts in 45 days with one Cricut, working into the early morning hours and learning in real time how quickly exciting growth can become overwhelming.

Megan shares what that experience taught her about boundaries, sustainable growth and why she now says, “I want success, but I want it in a manageable dose.” We unpack what she really means by that. Including her struggles with perfectionism, delegating, and allowing other people to help as her business grows.

We also talk about how motherhood changed the direction of her business, the reality behind what successful entrepreneurship can look like on social media, and why so many moms are simply figuring it out as they go.

Megan gets candid about the financial and emotional realities of building your own brand, the freedom entrepreneurship has given her to be present with her family, and the fear that can come with taking the next big step in business.

Her candid advice to the mom sitting at home wondering if she’s qualified, organized or ready enough to pursue her idea?

“Wing it, sis.”

This conversation is your reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out before you start. Sometimes you take the risk, learn as you go, and build the business (and life) you want along the way.💛

What would happen to your children, your money, your belongings, and even your business if something happened to you tomorrow?

In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, I sit down with Attorney Eleanor Dolev, Owner of Dolev Law. She specializes in estates and trusts and talks to us about a part of planning for the future that so many of us put off: creating an estate plan.

Eleanor walks us through some of the basics parents and business owners should have in place, including wills, trusts, and power of attorney documents. We also dive into why your estate plan and your business plan need to be part of the same conversation. As entrepreneurs, we spend years building businesses we hope will create opportunity, freedom, and maybe even a legacy for our children. Protecting what we've built matters too.

We talk about the question every parent should consider: Do you want to leave your children with a burden or leave them with a gift?✨

We also discuss the false sense of security that can come from DIY legal documents, why one missing piece of language can have major consequences, and why an estate plan should be created around your unique family, goals, assets, and circumstances.

And because this is The Mompreneur Collective, we of course talk about balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship too. Eleanor shares how she's found ways to involve her children in her business, teach them responsibility and leadership, and create more opportunities to be together while continuing to build a career she loves.

If estate planning has been sitting on your "I'll get to it eventually" list, this episode may be the push you need to finally start the conversation.💛
