Navigating the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, particularly for Boss Moms, involves constant shifts, uncertainties, and tough decisions. One of the most daunting challenges is the pivot – transitioning from a known, successful path to something uncertain.

Contrary to popular belief, us moms don't have it all figured out so where do we go from here? How do we overcome the fears that come with a pivot in business?

The tasks we're doing - cleaning, cooking, laundry - and all of those things, are components of it. But homemaking is also about the things you're cultivating within your family.”“Urgent and important are two different things. The problem is we've confused the two in our brains, and now it's hard to prioritize because everything feels like it should be important instead of sitting down and deciding what's actually important for you.”“Breaking something down into its absolute simplest form is the greatest way to take away the overwhelm and actually turn it into something productive.”In This Episode You'll Learn:How it's possible to start a business amidst managing your homeTips for removing the friction points in your business and home lifeWhy mompreneurs shouldn't feel shame and stressHaving the right mindset and beliefs to avoid the overwhelmThe art of distinguishing between urgent and importantLove the show?

In today's episode, I want to flashback to my very first interview, which feels like forever ago but was literally in April. And now, we are celebrating over 75 episodes!!! This podcast has reached over 800 cities and is growing, all because of each and every one of you. With this episode, I updated my intro and outro to address some of the mindset shifts I've had after this original recording back in April. If you've already listened to this episode, please listen again for some cleaning and mindset tips, tricks, and reminders as we go into the holidays, the cooler weather, and a slower time after the busy summer. You may be surprised what you can pull from it. Also, it is SUPER fun to see what my first ever interview sounds like compared to now. In a short period of time, through consistent effort, we all can improve in ANYTHING we are wanting to work on. Please remember that you will be terrible at something the first time you try, and it will absolutely scare the sh** out of you, but that does NOT mean you should give up. That does NOT mean you shouldn't try. So, come celebrate this amazing milestone with me in this fun and updated interview with Kendra. Also, this one is available to watch on YouTube now.

I've said many times before that podcast guesting is a gateway drug to starting your own podcast, but not every business warrants a long-running show. Sometimes, providing value in a short-form, bingeable series is the perfect choice. Enter today's guest, my friend Betsy Wallace, who is the guru of the Capsule Podcast—a concept which I think is pure genius. In 2018, Betsy and her sister launched their own podcast, Dinner Sisters. Today, almost thirteen thousand people tune in each month to hear what they're making for dinner. Betsy launched her business, Capsule Podcast, to help brands, authors, speakers and coaches use a 6-episode podcast mini-series to grow their business. As I explain in the introduction, immediately after we finished recording, Betsy and I began planning how we are going to work together to help people explore the visibility benefits of capsule podcasts. Connect with us both on IG and DM us if you're interested in working together - @angie_trueblood and @capsulepodcast. Topics covered include: Betsy's own speakpipe question for Angie about podcast tours - what they are, and how they can help you to maintain podcast visibility Information and an update about the podwize co-op An introduction to Betsy and her history with podcasts Why Betsy noticed a gap in the podcasting space - when maintaining a weekly show is too much pressure, but missing out on the visibility opportunities of podcasting isn't an option The ways in which businesses of all sizes are using capsule podcasts What people should consider when deciding if a capsule podcast is the right option for them Betsy's most impactful podcast-guesting experience and how to connect with her So who else wants to start a capsule podcast?!

Perfectionism, this hot mess mom culture we live in, mom guilt, so much good stuff. I hope you guys enjoyed this conversation today as much as I did and felt like it resonated with you in some way. The world needs more of these honest conversations between women and moms so we can truly understand each other where we actually are, and not where some hot mess mom culture tells us we should be. Conversations like the one I just had with Kendra where she talked about feeling guilty that she DIDN’T have mom guilt for focusing on her business… or the one last week with Dr. Heather Rhodes on low libido, stress, and exhaustion. Obviously, not every convo should be public...but I think there’s power in shining a light on some of these struggles on a platform where everyone can hear.

Somewhere along the way, the term, “Homemaking” has gotten a little bit of a negative connotation. But really, homemaking is just what it says it is: making a home. We all do it and there’s nothing negative about it. As home management expert, Kendra Hennessy, says, “Homemaking is about cultivating a home that feels inspired, that feels safe, that feels like the warmest place in the world to you and your family, perfection not needed.” In this episode we discuss mindset shifts we can make when it comes to homemaking, how to practically fir routines into our daily lives, and the importance and freedom of creating boundaries in our lives. Everything we talk about in the episode can be found here: https://www.jessiemartin.com/blog/01
The one thing I don’t talk about is being a work-out-of-the-home mom. I just never did that, so I don’t want to teach what I don’t confidently know. But! Today’s a good day because my friend Kendra Hennessy has been in that position and is about to drop some serious truth bombs for you mamas! This episode is going to bring you a lot of hope and inspiration no matter what type of mom you are! Whether you are a mom who works from home or outside the home, get ready for really good conversation around finding the balance and harmony between work and family. Kendra and I talk about figuring out what fits your family best, discovering the values that are non negotiable, and finding ways to connect with each of your kids (because we all know, every kid is different and needs their mom in different ways!) There are fears, doubts, and misconceptions moms who work outside of the home face but at the end of the day we are all moms working to give our kids the best we can!

Homemaker. Do you love that word or do you hate it a little? Most of us Marvelous Moms feel the pressure of keeping a home in order at least sometimes, right? For a lot of us, it's our "job." Kendra Hennessy is the owner of "Mother Like a Boss" and she is on the podcast today to tell us that we don't have to let this word define us! Also, we don't have to dread cleaning our houses and everything else that comes with the word "homemaker." This episode definitely changed my perspective on homemaking and I am excited to share it with you.

Kendra Hennessy is the founder of Mother Like a Boss, a good friend, and a cleaning system and routine extraordinaire. She is truly amazing and full of really simple tips when it comes to cleaning and setting up cleaning routines for yourself. Cleaning is something we, as moms, do every single day. But, when you make your cleaning routine systemized and rhythmic, you don't have to really think about it all the time and it doesn’t rule your life anymore.

In this episode, we talked about: The Boss Mom Retreat.How she moved from cleaning houses to coaching people into being homemaker-ish.How stressed moms get about being clean for the cleaning person to come.Doing a FB Live during the podcast interview.Alexa’s very messy office and lack of “homemakerish.”Shifting your mindset to be grateful for things like laundry because that means that you are able to afford those clothes that you have.Her biggest tip of “The less that goes in, the less that goes out.”Setting up a decluttering schedule once a week or once a month.Home management and how moms are the default house managers.Dividing everything up equally and setting expectations for everyone in the house.“Horizontal surfaces are the BFF of clutter.” It teaches everyone in our house and our own brains that it is a place to store stuff and you become clutterblind.Homelessness for your stuff inside of your home is a real problem.You need to fix the mindset issue first.The difference with Europeans’ mindset and Americans’ mindset on stuff.“If I lost this, how long would it take me to realize it’s gone?”
Kendra Hennessy-mom coach and strategist at “Mother like a Boss” Helps women become home maker-ish and focuses on mindset and strategy to get moms organized. Deeper issues often come into play when looking at a clean and organized household We are all “homemakers!”. Kendra helps moms DO IT all and ENJOY it all. Works one on one with moms over the course of a month. Assesses each woman's unique “issues” separately. Does everything from helping women get the toy room uncluttered to helping create meal planning and digging deep into childhood issues that may be contributing to current situation. Motherhood doesn't have to be frazzled. Motherhood can be kept simple and stress free with the right strategies and systems in place-Kendra can figure out where is the breakdown in systems in your life. Motherhood CAN be stress and frazzle free. Systems help you become more calm, more collected. No more playing catch up from the day before. Sunit and Kendra talk about perfection in motherhood-you CAN be a perfect mom as long as you stop comparing yourself to others. Perfect is whatever you want it to be, decide whats important to you and then do it. Perfectionism gets a weird “rap”. There are contradicting sayings out there. "Nobody's perfect". But "practice makes perfect". No wonder moms are confused and overwhelmed. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder. Avoid comparing yourself to others like THE PLAGUE. Kendra and Sunit say, before your baby is born, decide how you want your life to look and what you are willing to do to get there! Overwhelm is caused by wanting something but not wiling to work to get there. If you want a “martha stewart” perfect home..you can have it. You have to work for it. Do what gives you joy. "There are as many ways to mom, as moms in the world”. Change your expectations and progress and evolve as a mom. That's perfect too! Do not use perfectionism as a coping mechanism OR a defense mechanism. Women try to DEFEND the fact they're not living a perfect life. Deep rooted issues in your childhood can cause your issues with “perfectionism” now. Ie)all or nothing. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. It can be whatever you want it to be. Sunit talks about the fact that she didn't even baby proof because she likes her living space to be clutter free and clear. She asks Kendra if everyone thrives in a cleared out space or if everyone is different. Kendra says that even people who think they love ALL THE THINGS don't realize how much they will actually benefit from de cluttering until they do it. Clutter in your mind is affected by physical clutter in your life. From her experience, Kendra sees that for the vast majority of people, having less clutter-the more peaceful your life tends to be and the less stressed you are. Doing it yourself is better than having someone do it for you. It's best to learn the system and do it right the first time to avoid Boomerang clutter! (clutter that comes back). Kendra's biggest tip:Have a home for everything. (Homelessness is the best friend of clutter because then it requires a temporary space). Then you won't have to worry about losing stuff or random things cluttering your space. For new moms:it's so tempting to want all the things and cute baby knick knacks but it's dangerous because it can take over your home. Ask a veteran mom “what did you actually use?” so that you are not just buying random stuff. Have stations in different parts of your house so you always have supplies in the areas you're using them (i.e. a diaper change station on every floor-this can also avoid overwhelm). Take care of YOURSELF whether you had a baby yesterday or 15 years ago. Be #1. When you are not at 100% you can't give your best to your family. Throw away the guilt over taking care of you. It's ok to be #1. Your kids will be better for it. Sunit says that's why she started this podcast is to encourage women to start thinking about this before babies come. Sunit recommends the book “How to have your Second child first”-by Kerry Colburn & Rob Sorenson Kendra's one piece of advice: Be really true to yourself. think of what values you want to install in your kids. Not what you saw on pinterest or what your neighbours are doing. And then be whatever kind of mom YOU want to be. Show up as YOUR best authentic self. Kendra shares something about her SELF that she holds onto:she has not given up her radio and tv shows that she loves. She knew she didn't want to give them up because she would feel deprived. She also gets her hair done every 4 weeks without fail. She decided what's important to her and stays true to that. www.kendrahennessy.com -there is a free tutorial video on boomerang clutter! The book Sunit references is "How to Have Your Second Child First" by Kerry Coburn and is available here.
