What happens when four moms start making labels in a Hamilton basement and, 14 years later, get a call from a global industry giant? In this episode, host Colleen O'Connell-Campbell sits down with Julie Cole, one of the four co-founders of Mabel's Labels, to trace the full arc: from masking tape and permanent marker frustrations in the early 2000s, to building a fiercely loved e-commerce brand, to a reported $12 million acquisition by Avery Labels that closed in under six months. What makes Julie's story unique is the fact that she is still at Mabel's Labels a decade later, now as Senior Director of Public Relations, championing the brand she helped build. The conversation covers what buyers actually look for, why keeping your house in order is non-negotiable, how four co-founders (who were also family) navigated decisions without destroying relationships, and why selling your business does not have to mean falling out of love with it.   Key Takeaways:   Mabel's Labels was founded approximately 23 years ago by Julie Cole, her sister, and two university friends who married into the family. It started in a Hamilton basement solving a simple problem - kids were losing their gear, and there was no good labelling solution beyond masking tape and marker.   The four co-founders divided responsibilities by department (production, IT and finance, marketing, PR), which worked well early on but eventually created silos. Each founder became protective of their team's priorities, and the business reached a point where it needed one person overseeing the whole operation rather than four co-CEOs pulling in different directions.   Managing a co-founding team that is also family requires deliberate effort. The founders brought in a coach to navigate difficult growth decisions and to separate business disagreements from personal relationships - a practice Julie compares to Midday Squares' weekly "family therapy" sessions.   The acquisition by Avery Labels (a publicly traded company) happened fast - the initial call came in July, and the deal closed on New Year's Eve of the same year. Julie emphasizes this timeline is not normal and should not be expected.   Due diligence is where you can lose money. A letter of intent might come in at one number, but if the buyer finds problems, the offer shrinks. Julie's advice: keep your housekeeping in order from the start, not just when a deal appears.   The exit process is a full-time job. Having four co-founders meant one could focus on the transaction while the others kept the business running - a luxury solo founders do not have. Julie has seen entrepreneurs take their eye off operations during a sale, get left at the altar, and end up with a year of lost sales and deal fatigue.   Because Avery is publicly traded, the founders could not tell their staff about the potential acquisition. They told the team it was a tax audit - which felt terrible given their culture of transparency - but was necessary for regulatory compliance. Once the deal was announced, the founders led with reassurance: no one was losing their job, the brand was staying, and the team would be supported through the transition.   Two co-founders left immediately after the sale, one stayed as general manager for a couple of years, and Julie has remained for 10 years. She now reports to a former direct report who became GM - and is fully at peace with that dynamic. Her role is to be the brand's voice, its public face, and its connection to the community.   The brand's longevity is built on community. Julie was one of the original "mom bloggers", has attended Mom 2.0 conferences for 18 years, and has continuously followed her audience from blogs to Facebook to Instagram to Reddit. Mabel's Labels looks like a low-tech product but is a high-tech, e-commerce-driven business that has adapted to every platform shift for over two decades.   Julie is also the author of 'Like a Mother: Birthing Businesses, Babies, and a Life Beyond Labels', a bestseller covering her parenting and entrepreneurial journey.   Julie Cole's story is a reminder that a cash-rich exit does not have to be the end - sometimes it is the start of the next chapter in the same business.

What would it look like to build a multi-million dollar business while raising six kids, advocating full-time for a child with autism, and navigating everything that nobody put in the business plan?That's exactly what Julie Cole did, and she didn't do it by following the standard playbook.Julie is the co-founder of Mabel's Labels, a brand she started almost 23 years ago with her sister and two college friends when her eldest son was diagnosed with autism at three years old. She left a career in law, started making labels in a basement at 2am, and built something real, not because the timing was perfect, but because she figured out what her actual capacity was and built around that.In this conversation, Julie and Nikita get into the conversation most business advice skips entirely: what actually has to shift when you're a mom, a caregiver, and an entrepreneur all at the same time, and why the skills you're already using at home are more valuable than you think.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why capacity is the first conversation, not the last: before strategy, before offers, before anything else, you need to know what you can actually carry and Julie's story shows exactly what happens when you get honest about that firstHow the skills you're already using as a caregiver translate directly into business: advocacy, research, negotiation, flexibility under pressure — these aren't soft skills, they're the exact skills that build something sustainableWhy entrepreneurship gets romanticized and what the real version looks like: Julie is direct about what those early years actually looked like, and it's not TED talks and wine nightsHow building a values-led company culture protects both your business and your life: From results-only work environments to neurodivergent hiring, Julie built a company that worked for real humans living real livesWhat the "care gap" actually means for women entrepreneurs: Whether or not you have kids, the invisible load is real, and building a business that pretends otherwise is building on a weak foundationWhy visibility creates credibility, which creates loyalty: Showing up — even when life is heavy, even when the pace feels impossible — is not about hustle, it's about trust⭐ Enjoyed this conversation?

In this episode of Raise It Up, I sit down with Libby Ward, Sangita Patel, and Julie Cole for a real conversation on what motherhood actually looks like behind the highlight reel. We talk about the biggest myths we were sold, from the idea that maternal instinct just clicks, to what happens to your relationships, your identity, and your expectations once kids enter the picture. This conversation is a reminder that motherhood and entrepreneurship are not about doing it all perfectly, but about learning to navigate the constant shifts with honesty and self-awareness.We also get into what it really takes to build a business while raising kids. From leaning on support systems and letting go of unrealistic standards, to moving through burnout, health challenges, and overwhelming seasons, this episode highlights the power of trusting yourself and redefining success on your own terms. It is an honest look at how life and business evolve together, and how finding your version of joy, even in the chaos, is what truly moves you forward.If this episode spoke to you, share it with a mom or female founder who needs the reminder that she can build both her life and her business her way.Guest Links: Libby Ward:Website: https://libbyward.com/Instagram: @libbywardSangita Patel:Website: https://thesangitapatel.com/Instagram: @sangita.patelJulie Cole:Website: https://mabelslabels.ca/en-CA/juliecoleInstagram: @juliecoleincSponsor:Mave & Chez: Head to https://maveandchez.com and use code RAISEITUP to get 10% off your first pair! Links:Website: http://www.danikagan.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daniskaganYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@danikaganLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danikagan

This episode is an AMAZING example of what it means to embrace the idea that ‘done is better than perfect' You HAVE to listen to then end to understand! Before you get there you'll have the opportunity to explore your beliefs about your ability to be all in on your business and your family simultaneously. Spoiler on my opinion:You can't.And the shocking new narrative that THAT'S OKAY.I speak about the false narrative that gives mompreneurs a sense that we can ‘have it all' when the day to day reality is that when you're in your business - you're choosing that over your kids, and when you're in motherhood, you're choosing that over your business.How about this? Rather than feeling constant resistance from being pulled between both, as if giving the bare minimum is the only effort that's possible for you, you unpack the beliefs that are only holding you back.I genuinely believe that when you accept the hard truth that it's absolutely OKAY and REQUIRED to choose your business over your family and your family over your business, you can show up more intentionally, authentically and proficiently no matter which choice you're making today! Make sure you come back next week for Part 2 where I'll be offering some strategies to help you feel more comfortable CHOOSING! How to work with TANYA:Join my FREE Group All In Mama CommunityTry the Mama Magic Journal to start prioritizing how you're showing up in your role as a momText COMMUNITY to (778) 743-8296 to learn more about the MOMentum Membership coming soon!If you want to join the book club in May and read 'Like a Mother: Birthing Businesses, Babies, and a Life Beyond Labels' by Julie Cole with us text:BOOK CLUB to (778) 743 - 8296Are you READY to start prioritizing your health?

Take it from me, don't wait until you suffer from a brain injury, or some other challenging experience to take the time to gain clarity about the purpose of your work, and the impact you want to make in the world.Many of you are feeling like you're already moving slow in your business, and your life - but if you want to start building some momentum to get you where you're headed faster, its essential that you start asking yourself better questions.In this episode I'm speaking about why mompreneurs can't "have it all" and what beliefs and narratives needs to change for us to accept this hard truth. I also share some ideas about questions you can ask yourself to gain more clarity about your work, motherhood and where you're headed, to build yourself a road map to get there faster.

Episode 20 of the Shine On Mama Podcast is another beautiful example of the fact that everything is happening FOR us, not TO us. It's so difficult to embrace this when we are experiencing a challenge, but it's always when you get to the other side of a hard season that you start to recognize the blessings that are born out of the struggles. In this episode I'm talking about the importance of setting intentions with clarity and alignment towards your goals, and then staying true to those intentions. I'm using the story of the concussion I sustained from a boxing match, that all could have ben avoided had I taken the steps I describe in this episode!
