After the First Million

How hard can a business, and a baby, be?

Lindsay Roselle, a seasoned entrepreneur and passionate advocate for high-achieving mothers, talks about her transformative journey through motherhood, where she faced the challenges of preserving her individuality and ambition, often intertwined with grief and self-abandonment. We'll also explore the disruption and shifting dynamics in relationships that many new mothers encounter, stemming from pre-existing issues.

In this episode, you’ll learn how Lindsay’s roles as an entrepreneur and a mom impact her leadership style as BossBabe’s COO. 


In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • The "Motherhood Metamorphosis" Effect: Transitioning into parenthood, especially for mothers, can feel like losing a part of yourself. This change often results in a powerful journey of self-rediscovery and reinvention, which is vital in shaping resilient leaders.
  • The Many Hats of Decision-Making: Effective leadership demands wearing multiple hats — considering business needs, team welfare, and personal values simultaneously. Mastering this balancing act enhances your decision-making prowess and aligns your leadership with your true self.
  • Storytelling as a Superpower: Your narrative isn't just a tale; it's a tool. By embracing storytelling, you can influence, inspire, and manage better, turning complex lessons into relatable, actionable wisdom for your team and audience.
