    Welcome to the Behind the Mompire podcast with Melissa + Julia. We're brand and social media coaches who love uncovering and sharing a good story. When we aren't building our mompire, we're raising families, and raising up other women. We dive into topics around building a business while raising a family. We talk brand, business, social media, and about the little ones who distract us from our work. Since we started our business, we have learned the value of community and connections, which is what we aim to do here: help other women build the mompire of the dreams and let them know that they aren't alone in their journey.
