I’m SO excited for KJ coaching alumni Colleen Stark of Canoe Point Design Co. to have launched Brand Camp Podcast this month. And really happy to record an episode about life as a mom and entrepreneur.
Brand Camp
The Brand Camp Podcast is a show to empower women entrepreneurs to turn their businesses into a brand by sharing stories from fellow business owners who have BEEN THERE and GET IT. Host Colleen Stark, is a brand designer, strategist, owner of design studio and mama of one crazy toddler. You'll hear advice and stories from ambitious goal-getting women entrepreneurs, to help you to level up your business, make MONEY, and create a life you love with a business you're obsessed with.
In episode three Colleen and I discuss how I first got into the wedding industry and how KJ & Co. has transitioned over time, including offering coaching & consulting services, parallels I’ve seen in my own business after growing up with entrepreneur parents, and the challenges that come with running a business. I’ll also share how I balance my business with family while raising two toddlers, and my transition from business to motherhood with two under two at home.
Listen here:
Tune in for:
The challenges of balancing motherhood & owning a business on a daily basis including the mental load of constantly switching hats
The pros and cons of delegating & outsourcing tasks in both business and personal life
Finding ‘your people’ who are going through similar challenges of being a mom-boss & being transparent about entrepreneurship
How she started the Wed Well Showcase after seeing a need in Canada and running it all on her own
Adjusting your business to your lifestyle & the importance of focusing on how your business feels, not how it looks on paper
Plus much more!
Here’s a quick quote:
“There’s really no coasting as a working mom. Because stuff is always happening. The poop is always hitting the fan, one way or another. And you’re juggling all those balls.”
HAVE A LISTEN:
I know lots of you are struggling with the day-to-day life of wearing both your mom-hat and business owner, in a stressful industry to boot. I hope you’ll give this a listen and feel less alone and crazy.
