As a single mum and business owner, I've consciously built my business around my son rather than expecting him to fit around my business.We talk about: Why flexibility was my biggest motivation for starting a business  The hidden challenges of parenting a neurodiverse child while running a company  Letting go of guilt around missed networking events, retreats and opportunities  Why success isn't about working more hours  The lessons I've learned about balancing family, business and ambition  The financial mistakes I wish I'd avoided earlier in my entrepreneurial journey  How passive income created more choices and freedom in my life If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough, missing out, or making the \"right\" choices as a parent and business owner, this episode is a reminder that you get to define success on your own terms.Because sometimes the greatest success isn't scaling faster - it's having the freedom to be there for the moments that matter most.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/OoJgnoNvb-9zo9C4et3-qDCY6cwnOMw8tgjTkY_HDig/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81MDRh/ZDRiM2NkMTIzOTli/MzMyODQ1NWFhYTIz/MWJhNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
