We've spent years talking about taking the leap. Well, apparently it was time to put up or shut up. 😂

This week on From 9 to Mom, we're sharing the story behind our biggest career move yet: officially going all in on our own business, Digital Wave Media Solutions!

After years of working together, building careers, raising kids, and interviewing inspiring women entrepreneurs on the podcast, we finally decided to bet on ourselves (and each other).

But becoming full-time business owners while raising young kids comes with a whole new set of challenges. We're talking about redefining success after motherhood, navigating mom guilt, finding flexibility without feeling guilty about it, and figuring out what work-life balance actually looks like when you're the boss.

We're also getting into the realities of starting a business with your best friend, the pressure of being responsible for your own income, and why having a business partner might be the closest thing to a second marriage.

And because we can't stay on topic, we somehow end up discussing synchronized periods, spirituality, possible alien DNA, and the Jonas Brothers. Obviously.

Whether you're a working mom dreaming of starting your own business, a woman navigating a career transition, or just trying to balance motherhood, ambition, and your personal life, this one's for you.

Two working moms, one business, and absolutely no guarantees.
