Welcome to The Mom Enterprise, a weekly podcast hosted by Kendra Martinez featuring working Moms who find a way to manage it all. Episode Guest: Madeline Mosier Timm A CrossFit Coach since 2011 and a competitive CrossFit athlete, when Madeline became pregnant in 2014, she continued to do what felt familiar out of fear of losing her athleticism during this time.

This journey inspired her to become the coach for other women that she didn't have for herself during her first pregnancy and made the decision to become a certified Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach.

Welcome to The Mom Enterprise, a weekly podcast hosted by Kendra Martinez featuring working Moms who find a way to manage it all. Episode Guest: Jennifer Lordon "I have been living in NYC for 20 years with quick stints in both LA and Miami. I have been in the design industry even since I moved to NYC. I have worked for major Interior firms such as Studio Sofield, Andre Balazs (the hotelier but worked on designing hotels for him in their design dept) Roman and Williams and GACHOT. When my ex husband left the country and my kids both emotionally and financially I was left to take care of my children and myself. I was having to travel so much for work, my kids were really struggling with their fathers abandonment, and financially it wasn't adding up with all the child care expenses. I knew I had to make a change in my career for my family. So much had happened that I figured "how could possibly one more thing go wrong" this had to work and I had to make this work somehow. So I left my job and started Jennifer Lordon Interiors. It will be 2 years in the spring since I opened the firm. I have been blessed that business has been great! However, it is a struggle juggling my business, my three children and their busy school and social lives. I am so fortunate to have my mom close by (lives in New Jersey) who helps with the kids (she takes them for the summer so i can focus solely on work) and I run back and forth to NJ and NYC during the summer months.

Welcome to The Mom Enterprise, a weekly podcast hosted by Kendra Martinez featuring working Moms who find a way to manage it all. Episode Guest: Natalie Rios Natalie Rios, is the Co-Director of little Lola & tots, an educational and cultural space offering open play and enrichment programming for children ages 0 - 4 years old. She is a single mother of two girls ages 4 years old and 7 months. After graduating from the State University of New York at Albany with a B.A. in Psychology, she was captivated by education and worked as a pre-K teacher in both Albany and Yonkers, NY. Having dabbled into areas of Public Relations, Management and Event Planning, she took a position within the Career Management Center at Columbia Business School. Upon having her first daughter, she quickly became engrossed by early childhood development and its importance. She left Columbia knowing she wanted to be an active caretaker and an invested teacher instead. She believes children are unique and imaginative individuals with an immense capacity for growth in the early stages of their lives. She started a blog soon after having her first daughter, fueled by her parenting style and exposure to the world whether through travel or everyday experiences. Launching little Lola & tots was done with this in mind. She created a business that would allow her to work for herself, with her daughter, in a stimulating environment where she would be able to thrive. Since delving head first into entrepreneurship, her family structure has significantly changed. While 7 weeks pregnant with her second daughter, her marriage disintegrated and she became a single mom in November of 2017. In the year that passed, she learned rather quickly the importance of community while juggling a new business, a toddler and a pregnancy. Natalie is passionate about sharing her story and connecting with other women through inspiration which has allowed her the strength and resilience to keep moving forward.
