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.💛

What happens when an idea you had as an exhausted, overstimulated mom refuses to leave you alone for 17 years?

In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, I sit down with Amanda Romero, the founder of Tusharoo, a portable toddler chair born from a problem she experienced firsthand as a mom. When her son was just nine months old, she couldn't find anything that would safely keep her very active little one seated, so she decided to create the solution herself.

What followed was a 17 year journey from idea to patent to prototype to finally launching Tusharoo in May 2026.

She takes us behind the scenes of what it really takes to bring a physical product to market. From utility patents, engineers, prototypes and million dollar manufacturing costs to failed production runs, supply chain setbacks during COVID, and moments when quitting felt incredibly tempting. Through it all, she became an expert at something every entrepreneur eventually has to learn: figuring out the next thing she didn't know how to do.

We also talk about the naysayers who didn't believe in her idea, raising three children while building a company, knowing when to slow down, resisting the pressure to have a huge launch, and making intentional decisions that allowed her family to remain a priority throughout the process.

Today, her vision for Tusharoo reaches far beyond one product. She hopes to create products that support children and families with different needs, build a company where moms can work while still being present for their children, and create a workplace that truly feels like family.

If you've been sitting on an idea, questioning whether you've waited too long, or wondering if you have what it takes to figure out everything that comes with building something of your own, this conversation is a powerful reminder: keep going.

What does it really take to turn a side hustle into a million dollar business and eventually create the freedom you started a business for in the first place?

In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, I sit down with the mompreneur behind Bella Vista Painting & Drywall, Ashley Ortiz, to talk about her journey from working a full time job while building a painting business after hours with her husband to growing a successful company generating more than $1 million a year.

With three kids and a mortgage, quitting her 9–5 and blindly hoping for the best wasn't an option. Instead, she built the business alongside her day job until she reached the point where doing both was no longer sustainable and she realized the biggest thing standing between her and going all in on her business was one uncomfortable conversation with her boss.

We talk about what happened next: hiring a business coach, learning to delegate, creating systems, building a team, navigating entrepreneurship with your spouse, overcoming imposter syndrome in a male-dominated industry, setting boundaries with clients, and learning not to take every piece of criticism personally.

We also get into something many entrepreneurs need to hear: the beginning of your business doesn't have to look like the rest of your business. There may be a season of late nights, sacrifice, and feeling like you're drowning...but with the right support, systems, and team, you can build a business that gives you more freedom instead of just creating another job for yourself.

If you're a mom building a side hustle, wondering when it's time to leave your 9–5, struggling to let go of control, or dreaming of creating a business that supports your family and your life, this conversation is for you.

If you've ever been told that leaking when you laugh, lingering aches, painful intercourse, or simply "not feeling like yourself" after having a baby is just part of motherhood...this episode is for you.

This week, I'm joined by pelvic floor physical therapist and owner of Louisiana Pelvic Health, Dr.Melissa Thompson, for an eye opening conversation about the physical toll motherhood takes on our bodies and why so many women are silently suffering with issues that they don't have to just deal with.

Melissa shares her own journey of searching for answers to unresolved pain, how discovering pelvic floor physical therapy completely changed her life, and why it ultimately inspired her to build a practice dedicated to helping women find relief.

In this episode, we talk about:
• What the pelvic floor actually does and why it matters
• Common symptoms that are often dismissed as "normal" after pregnancy and childbirth
• Why kegels aren't always the answer (and can sometimes make things worse)
• How breathing, movement, and individualized treatment can make a huge difference
• The surprising connection between constipation and pelvic floor dysfunction
• My own experience as one of Melissa's patients and the improvements I've already seen with my rib flare and pelvic floor related symptoms

Melissa also opens up about learning to let go of perfectionism, creating healthier time boundaries, and accepting that success sometimes looks different in different seasons of motherhood.

Whether you're a new mom, years postpartum, or simply wondering if the symptoms you've been living with are actually treatable, this conversation is your reminder that you don't have to be part of the "wounded moms club."

Your body deserves care, too.

What if growing your business didn't have to mean losing yourself in the process?

In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, I sit down with Janelle Lucero & Sydney Bledsoe, the sister-in-law duo who co founded Pip Pop Post; an 8-figure children's jewelry brand. We talked about what it takes to build a successful, sustainable business. From trusting your intuition and your numbers to protecting your time, energy, and values, this conversation is full of practical wisdom for mompreneurs who want to grow intentionally.

We dive into why staying connected to your "why" matters, how to evaluate opportunities that seem to look good on paper, the importance of choosing the right people to build with, and why sometimes the most successful and powerful decision is saying no.

Whether you're just starting your business or you're at that point where you're ready to scale, this episode is a reminder that sustainable success isn't about chasing every opportunity. It's about building a strong foundation, serving your customers well, and growing at a pace that allows you to become the leader your business needs all while staying true to the mom and wife you want to be at home.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why your "why" should guide every business decision
• How to balance intuition with data as you grow
• The mindset shifts that lead to sustainable, profitable growth
• How building slowly can actually set you up for bigger success
• Why embracing the motto "walk before you run" is so important

If you've ever felt pressure to grow faster, do more, or chase every opportunity, this conversation will remind you that the strongest businesses are built one intentional layer at a time. 💛

As busy moms and entrepreneurs, we're constantly told to "just relax" or "take a day for yourself." But true stress management isn't about escaping your life, it's about becoming more resilient within it.✨

In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, I sit down with Kimberly Thibeaux, Owner of Brain Injury Nurses of Acadiana, to unpack what nervous system regulation really means and why its one of the most important skills every mompreneur can develop.

Together, we explore why regulation doesn't always mean slowing down, it means learning how to respond to stress in the way your body actually needs. Sometimes that looks like rest and other times it looks like movement, deep breathing, stepping outside for fresh air, or a simple therapeutic pause.

We also discuss:

• What it actually means to feel overstimulated as a mom and what to do when you get there
• The difference between down-regulating and up-regulating your nervous system
• Why three diaphragmatic breaths can literally signal safety to your brain
• How to recognize your own stress signals before it's too late
• The different types of rest (physical, mental, emotional, sensory, and social) and how to know which one you need
• Why scrolling, avoidance, and other "quick fixes" often leave us feeling even more depleted
• Simple, practical ways to regulate your nervous system that don't require a spa day or hours of free time

If you've ever felt like you're living in survival mode, constantly giving to everyone around you while you're running on empty, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, understood, and equipped with practical tools you can start using today.

Because the goal isn't to eliminate stress all together... its to build the resilience to move through it with greater awareness, intention, and grace. 💛
