                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;In this episode of the Mama In Biz podcast, host Rebecca Schor chats with Kaitlyn David, a marketing strategist, mindset coach, and owner of Root and Flourish. Kaitlyn helps female entrepreneurs define their authentic voice online through content that stands out and converts, while emphasizing the importance of inner work, intuition, and aligning business with personal values.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kaitlyn spent most of her life coloring inside the lines, tip toeing around other people&#39;s feelings, and achieving what looked like success. She was the quintessential superwoman, juggling corporate demands while trying to be the perfect mother. It took a layoff in 2020 for Kaitlyn to hit the reset button and embark on a journey of self-discovery. One that allowed her to rediscover who she is and what she desires.

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;In this episode of the &lt;em&gt;Mama In Biz Podcast&lt;/em&gt;, we’re talking about how to craft your dream business and life—right now, not someday in the distant future. Get ready for practical tips, real talk, and a dose of inspiration to infuse joy and intention into your daily life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You’ll Hear:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rediscovering Sparkle in Your Business (2:19): &lt;/strong&gt;Remember why you started your business in the first place! I share how reconnecting with your &#34;Why&#34; can help you rediscover the simple perks &amp;amp; joys (or as I like to call it, your sparkle) of being a business owner. Whether it’s working at a coffee shop, having a solo dance party at your desk, or co-working with a friend, these small moments of joy can bring back that spark. I also talk about the trap of constantly pushing for the next goal and how leaving white space in your schedule for joy-filled moments can make a big difference.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finding Joy in Motherhood (20:20): &lt;/strong&gt;There’s so much overlap between business and motherhood. Just like your business, motherhood deserves moments of joy and spontaneity. I share tips for turning mundane errands into adventures, involving your kids in everyday chores, and giving them the white space to explore, imagine, and play independently. Remember, not every activity has to revolve around entertaining your child—they’ll often enjoy just tagging along and participating in your life.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Power of Planning (28:59): &lt;/strong&gt;Planning is crucial as a mama and business owner. It’s not just about getting things done—it’s about reducing stress and chaos while staying aligned with your goals. I explain how to plan your business around your life (and not the other way around), why I make a seasonal “bucket list” with my family, and how I prioritize my daily and weekly tasks to make space for big-picture goals without burning out.  Intentional planning can actually lead to more spontaneity in both your business and life. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tune in to learn how to create a business and life you love today—not someday!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;00:00&amp;nbsp;Introduction and Free Productivity Quiz&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;00:50&amp;nbsp;Welcome to the Mama In Biz Podcast&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;01:36&amp;nbsp;Crafting Your Dream Business and Life&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;02:19&amp;nbsp;Rediscovering the Sparkle in Your Business&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;20:20&amp;nbsp;Finding Joy in Motherhood&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;28:59&amp;nbsp;The Power of Planning&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;40:48&amp;nbsp;Action Steps and Conclusion&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;44:15&amp;nbsp;One-on-One Coaching with Rebecca&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check out the Mama In Biz Website: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mamainbiz.co/&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;https://www.mamainbiz.co/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow Mama In Biz on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/mamainbiz/&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/mamainbiz/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RSVP for the next FREE Mama In Biz Virtual Social Hour on December 10th at 2:00pm EST: &lt;a href=&#34;https://mamainbiz.kit.com/673952793b&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;https://mamainbiz.kit.com/673952793b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join the FREE Mama In Biz Facebook Community, to connect with fellow Mama business owners! &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/share/g/5m7TKphPC46Dy2xS/&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/share/g/5m7TKphPC46Dy2xS/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you a Productivity Pro or Time Wasting Whiz?

Remember, not every activity has to revolve around entertaining your child—they’ll often enjoy just tagging along and participating in your life.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Power of Planning (28:59): &lt;/strong&gt;Planning is crucial as a mama and business owner. It’s not just about getting things done—it’s about reducing stress and chaos while staying aligned with your goals. I explain how to plan your business around your life (and not the other way around), why I make a seasonal “bucket list” with my family, and how I prioritize my daily and weekly tasks to make space for big-picture goals without burning out.  Intentional planning can actually lead to more spontaneity in both your business and life. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tune in to learn how to create a business and life you love today—not someday!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;00:00 Introduction and Free Productivity Quiz&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;00:50 Welcome to the Mama In Biz Podcast&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;01:36 Crafting Your Dream Business and Life&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;02:19 Rediscovering the Sparkle in Your Business&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;20:20 Finding Joy in Motherhood&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;28:59 The Power of Planning&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;40:48 Action Steps and Conclusion&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;44:15 One-on-One Coaching with Rebecca&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check out the Mama In Biz Website: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mamainbiz.co/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.mamainbiz.co/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow Mama In Biz on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/mamainbiz/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/mamainbiz/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RSVP for the next FREE Mama In Biz Virtual Social Hour on December 10th at 2:00pm EST: &lt;a href=&#34;https://mamainbiz.kit.com/673952793b&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://mamainbiz.kit.com/673952793b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join the FREE Mama In Biz Facebook Community, to connect with fellow Mama business owners! &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/share/g/5m7TKphPC46Dy2xS/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/share/g/5m7TKphPC46Dy2xS/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you a Productivity Pro or Time Wasting Whiz?

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;08. Finding Childcare as a Mama Business Owner&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode of the Mama In Biz podcast, host Rebecca Schor shares her personal journey of finding childcare for her son while managing her business. Rebecca shares insights on various childcare options she’s tried—from in-home daycares to hiring a nanny, and even working from home full-time with her son. She also discusses the emotional hurdles she faced along the way. She also touches on the unique challenges that come with “daycare syndrome,” the constant cycle of sickness that has impacted her family during cold &amp;amp; flu season and why she needs more support with childcare during the winter months.  Rebecca also addresses the pervasive &#39;mom guilt&#39; many mothers experience and offers words of encouragement and advice for finding a supportive community. This episode is a candid look at the real-life struggles and triumphs of being a business-owning mother, filled with practical tips for navigating childcare and maintaining a successful business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;00:00&amp;nbsp;Introduction to Mama Biz Virtual Social Hour&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;01:39&amp;nbsp;Welcome to the Mama and Biz Podcast&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;02:39&amp;nbsp;Diving into Childcare Decisions&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12:04&amp;nbsp;The First Day at Daycare&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;20:25&amp;nbsp;Transitioning to a Nanny&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;24:21&amp;nbsp;Finding the Right Daycare&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;31:44&amp;nbsp;Dealing with Daycare Sickness&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;37:00&amp;nbsp;Overcoming Mom Guilt&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;43:34&amp;nbsp;Final Thoughts and Support&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check out the Mama In Biz Website: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.mamainbiz.co/&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;https://www.mamainbiz.co/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow Mama In Biz on Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/mamainbiz/&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/mamainbiz/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RSVP for the next FREE Mama In Biz Virtual Social Hour on November 18th at 12:00pm EST: &lt;a href=&#34;https://mamainbiz.kit.com/1223b1feb7&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;https://mamainbiz.kit.com/1223b1feb7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join the FREE Mama In Biz Facebook Community, to connect with fellow Mama business owners! &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/share/g/5m7TKphPC46Dy2xS/&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/share/g/5m7TKphPC46Dy2xS/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you a Productivity Pro or Time Wasting Whiz?

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;In this episode of the Mama In Biz podcast, we sit down with Erika Millard, a Bookkeeping Coach who loves teaching business owners how to get organized with bookkeeping &amp;amp; actually understand their numbers. She helps entrepreneurs do their own bookkeeping in less than an hour per month, heck yes! She is a mama to 4 kiddos &amp;amp; currently lives in Birmingham, AL where you can probably find her cooling off at an ice cream shop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Erika shares her inspiring journey from the corporate world to entrepreneurship, providing valuable insights on balancing motherhood and business. We explore crucial bookkeeping practices, time management strategies, and the importance of understanding your business financials.

The episode covers my experience with postpartum complications following a C-section, leading to an ER visit (or a few). I detail the harrowing account of discovering our son&#39;s dangerously low oxygen levels, the frustrating encounter with a gaslighting ER doctor, and the eventual transfer to a children&#39;s hospital. The episode recounts our week-long hospital stay filled with numerous tests, emotional turmoil, and the relief of being able to return home with strict oxygen monitoring for our son in place. I can&#39;t emphasize enough the importance of advocating for your child&#39;s health and for your own health. This episode is packed with raw, emotional moments and advice for new parents.  This was not an easy episode for me to record, as I speak about some very traumatic past events, recalling the scariest moment of my entire life, but I hope by pulling back the curtain on my own story, it resonates with you in some way, inspires you and maybe helps you feel less alone.  We were never meant to do it all alone, and we don&#39;t have to, Mama!</p><p>00:00 Introduction and Recap</p><p>02:06 Leaving the Hospital</p><p>03:31 First Night at Home</p><p>08:09 Emergency Room Visit</p><p>13:24 Pediatrician Checkup</p><p>17:32 Ambulance Ride</p><p>18:53 ER Gaslighting</p><p>21:33 Advocating for Your Child</p><p>23:45 Ambulance Ride to Children&#39;s Hospital</p><p>24:46 Arrival and Emergency at the Children&#39;s Hospital</p><p>25:43 Critical Condition and Stabilization</p><p>29:21 Hospital Stay and Tests</p><p>35:28 My Health Scare</p><p>42:18 Wedding Anniversary in the Hospital</p><p>44:06 Discharge and Homecoming</p><p>46:18 Conclusion and Future Episodes</p><p>Check out the Mama In Biz Website: <a href="https://www.mamainbiz.co/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mamainbiz.co/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Mama In Biz on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mamainbiz/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/mamainbiz/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Join the FREE Mama In Biz Facebook Community, to connect with fellow Mama business owners! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/g/5m7TKphPC46Dy2xS/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/share/g/5m7TKphPC46Dy2xS/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Are you a Productivity Pro or Time Wasting Whiz?
