The life of a mom-entrepreneur: It’s definitely NOT like what you see on social media and not as smooth as I’d like it to be. However, I know this’ll all be worth it down the road. Plus, I love doing this, sharing with you and being real when it comes to parenthood, our mindset, being a woman, a mom and entrepreneur. So, on THAT note,

School’s out for us living in the province of Quebec. As I record this, it IS the first day of summer vacation, the kids are home, and it’s also a long weekend for us Quebecers. So that means, the husband’s home too! So if you hear any weird noises it’s probably him in the garage or any drilling sounds. He’s building his bbq shed in the backyard. And our bedroom is at the back of the house and above the garage. In case you didn’t know and just to be clear, my office/studio is right here in our room! Fancy huh? Lol

Now, this is the 2nd summer since the launch of my podcast show. And I remember last year, despite ALL the good intentions, and even mentioning it on the episode before the summer hit last year, I warned my audience that my episodes would be released less frequently BECAUSE the kids were home, pool life was about to start again, meaning mom life was about to be amped up which also meant biz life was taking a back burner but not completely shut down.

Well, summer came, we had a lot of fun, I gave myself grace because the thought of my podcast being put on “hold” was always on my mind. And I have to admit, in hindsight, it was bugging me.

Then summer flew by and we had to prepare ourselves mentally for the next season and new beginnings such as, our oldest entering his first year of high school! It started out smoothly until there was a whole issue with the transportation company and the buses. Long story short, I was in a group chat with other moms for a good month and a half scheduling and coordinating carpools for our kids. Yeah, fun-fun.

September also meant volunteering picked back up again with the professional organizers in Canada with our monthly meeting preparations and presentations. Also working at the school started up again, so my schedule took another adjustment. I was happy for the structure to be honest. Because from there, I was able to see the pockets of time where I can work on my business.
