We explore: Why mindset and energetics are not optional for mom business owners The three-step process Cassandra uses to guide clients through self-excavation How to create a personal “filtering system” for aligned business decisions The truth about compartmentalization (and why it doesn't work for moms) Letting go of business models that no longer fit—and building ones that do Why clarity around how you want to feel is more powerful than any 5-year plan Using postpartum power as fuel to step into your next evolution How Cassandra scaled back, automated, and sold her business while raising her daughter What to do when mom guilt creeps in (and why presence matters more than perfection) Cassandra Vantriet is a 3x founder, business mentor, and mom to her daughter Romy. After scaling and selling a successful health and wellness brand, she now supports women in building businesses that are aligned, intuitive, and deeply personal.
