Maybe you've toyed with building a paid community as part of your business model. Or you gave it a shot and later shelved it because you just couldn't make it work. Start-up Parent Founder Sarah K. Peck goes deep on how she built three paid communities:How she chose the initial idea that morphed into her company and multiple highly engaged (paid) communities.Why what looks like overnight success (260 applications for 25 spots) was actually years of experiments, trials and listening to a consistent audience.How she looks at experimenting today—and why a one-year commitment keeps her focused on the best outcomes for her members and herself.The role that lighthearted fun—joy even—can play in the success of your community and your own happiness.The intersection of motherhood and business and finding your sweet spot between the two.LINKSSarah K.

That's why it was Startup Pregnant. I wanted to learn from folks. And about three years into the project, I realized that I didn't want to talk to only moms and only women. It was like, the shifts that happen when you're pregnant are just the beginning. It's just the tip of the iceberg. Like you're a parent for the rest of your life.Rochelle Moulton00:31 - 01:11Hello, hello. Welcome to the Soloist Life Podcast, where we're all about turning your expertise into wealth and impact.

We often divide our career options in two paths: entrepreneurship or employment. You either work for yourself or you work for “The Man.” Sarah K. Peck of Startup Parent says this creates a false binary and pits the two against each other. Here's her advice to balance entrepreneurial and employment opportunities in your life.

#044 “Hustle! Crush it!” We've all heard the productivity propaganda. But what if you're a new parent and you're still being told that you can have everything without giving anything up? That's all that today's guest, Sarah K Peck, heard as a new mom working at a tech startup. Wanting to document her real experience and meet people going through the same thing, Sarah did a series of interviews. The resulting podcast raised $30,000 before it even launched and, by accident, a business was born. In this episode we tackle the future of work, rejecting hustle culture, and being a woman in business. We also go deep on community. We discuss everything from onboarding and setting expectations to pricing and the three things you need to do to run fantastic online events.

Here are the things to expect in the episode:Why is it hard to say no?Why do we lie?When can you speak the truth?What could be your best way to say no?What will you benefit from saying no?And much more!About Sarah:Sarah Peck is the Founder and CEO of Startup Parent, a company and virtual community that connects parents who want to reimagine and build a new future of work. In 2016, she founded Startup Parent while pregnant working at a venture-backed tech startup. While there, she had to figure out, build, and negotiate taking leave while giving birth and parenting at a startup. To gain insight and support, she began interviewing women entrepreneurs on The Startup Parent Podcast, now an award winning show that features business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders telling honest stories about working and parenting.Since then, Startup Parent has doubled in revenue year over year, published 175+ shows, and has expanded to offer books and community for working parents. Every year, she gathers business leaders and entrepreneurs together in the Wise Women's Council, nine-month leadership incubator for professional women navigating career and family at the same time. She believes all new mothers deserve an honorary MBA, and that working parents have leadership skills and insights that can transform the way we work and live that's better for everyone.Connect with Sarah K Peck!Website: https://startupparent.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/startup_parent/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/startup-parent-6871149606722408448/Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/startup_parentTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@startupparentConnect with Kamie Lehmann!Website: https://www.kamielehmann.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kamie.lehmann.1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kamie-lehmann-04683473

Mindset fumbles and missteps happen when you commit more to your doubt than to your truths.And as, entrepreneurs, working with endless doubt gets in the way of profitable success.When I first described what this podcast will be about and why I felt a need to jump into the fray, it was because I wasn't seeing enough attention being paid to doing the deep inner work we need to do as entrepreneurs, not just have discussions that reach only surface level.I believe that transformation, the kind that changes the game for us and our business, requires us to go there, so we can show up as our best, most authentic selves in this season of our lives.In today's episode, I'll be going all-in on mindset—yours, mine, theirs, everybody's, the mindset that frames our outlook, our challenges, our opportunities, our expectations and, our beliefs.LINKS:Website: http://www.kgracehowes.comInstagram: @kgracehowesBiz Mindset Coaching Mentioned in this Episode: Quote by Sarah K.

In this episode, we're learning all about how to talk about money. This is a subject that makes most people feel very vulnerable–naked, even–and it can stop us from finding happiness and satisfaction with ourselves, our lives, and what we do each day. Here to discuss this with me is Sarah Kathleen Peck. She's the founder and CEO of Startup Parent, as well as a good friend of mine. She's had her work featured in publications including Forbes, Inc., and Fast Company, worked with countless women entrepreneurs, and recorded over 200 interviews on her own podcast. So, Profit Boss, are you ready to get real about what money is and isn't–and how to make it work for you instead of worrying about how much you have or need? If so, this very special episode is for you! Here's what you'll find out in this week's episode of Profit Boss® Radio: Why money is a tool that becomes completely worthless if you don't know what you want from it. Why so many extremely wealthy people are so miserable. Why there's some power to manifesting–but why you shouldn't just sit in front of your mirror saying “I'm rich!” when you're not. How getting clear about your intentions can help you clarify your questions about money and unpack your trauma. The common stumbling blocks that get in the way between women and financial goals. How Sarah and her husband manage money together without micromanaging each other.

Today's guest is someone we've wanted to speak to for years. In fact, she was one of the first women we knew who not only worked in tech, but also had a thriving career in it. And this was long before we started Marvelous!So, it goes without saying that Sarah K. Peck is a force of nature. She's the founder of Startup Parent — a company that focuses on the narratives we share (and more importantly, those we don't) about work, parenting, and motherhood. She's also the host of the award-winning Startup Parent podcast where she chats with incredible women about business and parenting. And it's her mission to make parenting easier in the Startup world. Because here's the deal: Silicon Valley cannot figure out kids. Sarah says it herself, and we couldn't agree more. In the world of startups where everything revolves around the new and cutting edge, children and paternity plans are still treated like unspeakables. When Sarah first got pregnant years ago, she was the only pregnant female in her startup and things were incredibly tough for her to navigate — she even had to build her own maternity leave from scratch since her company had no infrastructure surrounding it. All of that led her to the question - Where are the pregnant women in tech?That's when she started interviewing other women about their own experiences with startups and parenthood, which is how her podcast came about. In today's episode, Sarah talks about her employment history and how she transitioned to entrepreneurship, how she navigated parenting in an uber busy startup environment, the importance of representing diversity of experiences, and so much more!Here's a peek at what else we discuss: How she worked with her CEO to build a viable maternity program How she approaches money (and why she's always had two jobs) Why you earning money and resources is a part of activism Why you should be raising your rates in your business frequently  The difference between bootstrapped companies vs. venture companies And more!As a society, we've been indoctrinated in a culture where hiding kids and women at home is normal. Which is why we believe talking about our unique challenges as working parents in startups is so important!Resources Sarah K.Peck's Website Sarah K.Peck's Newsletter  Sarah K.Peck's Instagram and Twitter Startup Parent Website Startup Parent Newsletter Startup Parent  Podcast The Wise Women Council Sticky Situations (Template Guides)  This week's Joy: We can relate to both of Sarah's joys - chocolate and swimming pools. She has to eat chocolate everyday and loves getting into the swimming pool to recollect her thoughts and calm her mind. This week's Hustle: Sarah's hustle is simple and effective - the Control key on your keyboard. She specifically recommends the CTRL+F keys if you want to find something on a webpage and loves using text replacements as a way to save time. This podcast is brought to you by the Marvelous online teaching platform.Marvelous is an easy-to-use platform that helps you build and sell your own courses memberships and live-streamed programs. Go from idea to open for business in just minutes. Unlike other startups, Marvelous was created by women for women.

I'm super honored to introduce you to this week's podcast guest: Sarah K. Peck. Sarah is the founder of Startup Parent and I have had a colleague crush on this woman for YEARS.Seriously, she is whip-smart, thoughtful, funny and refreshingly honest about all things parenting, business, work and LIFE.Having Sarah with us this week is a dream come true for me and I know you're going to get so many goodies out of this conversation!In this week's episode Sarah and I cover:Sarah's honest experience of how she is doing as a mother, business owner and human after over a year of pandemic upheaval. Why we don't have to do things the way they've always been done, whether that is in business, parenting or any other area of life.The organic evolution of Sarah's business and how she continues to listen, iterate and grow. Sarah's radical recommendation to "DO HALF" and how to practically go about applying this concept to our everyday lives. The importance of systems thinking, looking for repeatable results and reflection when it comes to shifting upsetting patterns or maximizing the goodness in our lives. The need to deeply question and resist the larger cultural narratives of parenting and work and instead to forge our own paths rooted in our unique values and families. What Sarah suggests we pay most attention to in our work, family and lives as our country transitions out of pandemic life and into what's next. And SO much more!Even if you are not a parent or a business owner, this episode is packed with really important ideas about how to take more creative ownership of our lives, our values and our desires.

As the founder of Startup Parent, Sarah K Peck knows a thing or two about navigating the conflicting worlds of parenting and entrepreneurship. In today's episode, she reveals why (and how) she wants to spearhead change for working parents. We also talk about the pitfalls of prescriptive parenting, how she started her successful podcast and business, and why society needs to start integrating parenting and caretaking into its infrastructure.

The birth of Startup Pregnant (which led to Startup Parent) via a book proposal that led to a podcast that led to a business.Turning a podcast into a money-making endeavor on your terms (hint: pitching people you know with a compelling story).The power of connecting one-to-one vs. one-to-many—and how to build it into your routine without interrupting your flow.The deep need for community among parents as the nature of work changes, society and parenting norms evolve and the pandemic creates new pressure on mothers especially.Getting paid to do research as a way to fund your mission.Quotables“The lessons we learn from parenting are so powerful and presence-inducing. It’s very humbling to realize that maybe you don’t have control.”—SKP “Friday is my marketing day. I have a project called Friday marketing, and one of my tasks is texting 20 people—because we just want to catch up…it’s really fun and all it takes is a tiny bit of instigation.”—SKP “Underneath it all, connection is one on one. So it doesn’t matter what platform you’re using. If you’re on Facebook, if you’re sending a message to one person, if you’re doing a common thread that’s kind and generous with one person, that’s connection. Everything else is consumption.”—SKP “We don’t have to do things the way they’ve always been done. We can create the future we want to see.”—SKP “Everyone thinks that information or a strategy or a process or a template is the thing they’re selling, but the true value for almost every program they’re selling is the connection.”—SKP “If you can’t do a big project, do a small project.

Have you been feeling a bit stuck lately, wondering what comes next?  Saying to yourself that there has to be more?  If so, you’re not alone. That’s because I’ve been asking myself these questions lately, too. I’ve noticed that whenever I’m in this place for too long, it usually means I’m looking for the “right answer.” I’m trying to find the “perfect” next step.  I’m wrapped up in fear, doubt, and insecurity.  Those feelings are not uncommon when you’re stuck. But when it becomes a pattern—fear, doubt, and insecurity lead to staying stuck and staying stuck leads to those feelings—that’s when getting out of your own way gets tricky.  This month, I’m continuing this month’s theme of Being Human with Sarah Kathleen Peck. Sarah is the founder and CEO of Startup Parent and the host of The Startup Parent Podcast, where she helps working parents try to navigate everyday insanity.  Listen to the full episode to hear: There are two types of people: those who know what they want and they’re having a hard time going after it and those who are stuck and don’t know what they want Why we all know the answer to what comes next—we just need to get out of our own way What I really want to do and how I keep getting in my own way How our culture has brainwashed us into pushing, pushing, pushing when sometimes the best thing to do is pull back Learn more about Sarah: startuppregnant.com Follow Sarah and Startup Parent on Instagram  Follow Sarah and Startup Parent on Twitter How To Get What You Want course (use this link half off!)

Last year, at an in-person gathering of one of the masterminds that we run at What Works, one participant told me that they didn't really need anyone to tell them what to do with their business. They knew exactly what they should be doing. Instead, they said they needed people to ask why they weren't doing it. That's why they were in the mastermind group. To me, that's the perfect illustration of how a mastermind group can support business owners who are committed to—not just learning a new marketing skill or figuring out how to launch a new product—but to becoming a more whole entrepreneur and building a business that works exceptionally well. I've been running mastermind groups of one sort or another for about 5 years and I have a lot to say on the subject. But I didn't want you to just get my thoughts... So I invited someone equally as passionate about masterminding as I am, Sarah K. Peck, the founder of Startup Pregnant. Sarah was on the show before talking about how the Startup Pregnant podcast got started—but the whole business and community of Startup Pregnant has evolved and grown a ton since then. Check out Episode 134 for our original conversation. Today, Sarah and I jam about masterminding—how we participate in masterminds, how we facilitate masterminds, and how we leverage them in our businesses. We also talk about the role masterminding plays in how you get support as an entrepreneur and we talk through how we structure sessions for the best outcomes. The post EP 279: Leveraging Masterminds For Support With Startup Pregnant Founder Sarah Peck appeared first on What Works.

Which is why I’m bringing on the amazing Sarah K Peck today.  She’s the Founder of Startup Pregnant, a podcast and community dedicated to supporting the women who live in the space where entrepreneurship and motherhood overlap.  She’s a mother of two boys - a toddler and a 4 month old. She’s a startup consultant and has worked with startup CEOs and with several Y-Combinator backed companies, and with people at Samsung, Apple, Google, and Amazon.  She’s a writer and has been featured in The New York Times, Fast Company and The Huffington Post to name a few. And, she’s the creator of The Wise Women’s Council, a 9 month mastermind for moms who are navigating business and motherhood (PS: if you are a mompreneur, make sure to listen to Sarah go into more detail about the Wise Women’s Council...it could be the exact community you’re searching for!). Sarah and I dive deep into why you need a community of like-minded women in your life! We discuss… What steps you can take to find a like-minded community of women that is right for you How you can create community and connection in the way you need it during the different seasons of your life...and how that is allowed to shift and change! What great tools you have at your fingertips that help you tap into community! How to have quality relationships and tap into a community - even if you’re introverted, even if it feels like too big of a project to handle right now. Underlying in all of this is both of our beliefs that you are the one in charge of designing your life and your business!   To apply to Sarah’s Wise Women’s Council, just go here: https://startuppregnant.com/wwc And to check out more about Sarah, go here: https://startuppregnant.com/

Happiness Spells is five minutes of happy and positive things, a collection of thoughts, daydreams, feelings and reveries. Headphones on. This episode is adapted from a piece written by Sarah K. Peck, a writer I came across recently. Peck is the founder of Startup Pregnant, a podcast and community dedicated to working mothers and business owners navigating the challenges of parenting. A hint of #ASMR, a touch of #guidedmeditation, a lot of #gratitude. This episode of Happiness Spells was arranged, recorded and produced by Amanda Meyncke in Los Angeles, California. Our music is by Chris Zabriskie.

Sarah K. Peck joined us for a show about the realities of time management. Sarah has some great advice about learning what to let go from your life and what to hang onto. She is ruthless, but it is something we all need to hear if we have big dreams for our lives and work. She also told us about how she runs a mastermind program for people who want to surround themselves with others who are focusing in a similar way. This is not something well-known in the research community, but these groups can make a big difference to reaching your goals. We also talked a little about the problems mothers can face in the workplace and startup word.

Sarah K. Peck is a force. She's a writer, startup advisor, yoga teacher, and founder/executive director of Startup Pregnant-- a media company documenting the stories of women's leadership across work and family. Previously she worked as vice president of communications for a Y Combinator-backed startup, One Month, where she also was a successful writing and communications consultant, published in more than 75 online publications.   Sarah also is a 20-time All-American swimmer who swam the Escape From Alcatraz marathon nine separate times. And we also can't forget to mention the time Sarah swam the 1.5-mile freezing swim from Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay in only a swim cap and goggles to raise money of charity: water.   In today's show we open up the thought process behind how Sarah achieves her audacious goals. We discuss yes, her amazing swimming accomplishments, as well as her move from a job in the architecture and design industry to a career she created for herself in writing and communications consulting. We also talk about how she developed her own curriculum on storytelling that was sold through her site and General Assembly. Then we talk about how her blog, writing and consulting work led her on a path to working at a startup, and eventually, how her first pregnancy led her to create the business idea for her eventual business, Startup Pregnant.   In talking to Sarah, we were enamored with the creativity she uses to design her life and to rethink traditional ideas about how we do things at work and in our own lives. Known for her deep and thoughtful approaches to solving business problems, we have a feeling everyone will take something away from our interview with her in episode 81 of I Want Her Job The Podcast.

#001 — Four reasons why we decided to start a podcast, and why we need new stories of work, parenting, pregnancy, and entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship and parenting are filled with deep, difficult, and joyful lessons about what it means to be a person and make work in the world. “We are just trying to figure it out one day at a time—one sleep-deprived, coffee-fueled, bleary-eyed day at a time.” No matter how much prep work you do, there is no way to anticipate the singular experience of having a baby or starting a business. In fact, there are a number of parallels between pregnancy and startups, and this podcast explores those intersections with the hope of learning what the two worlds have to teach each other. Along the way, we’ll talk about reinventing the way we think about parenting and work. In today’s episode, I give you a bit of the behind-the-scenes about who I am, and why I started this show. In 2014, I interviewed with One Month, the Y Combinator venture-backed startup focused on teaching people tech and coding skills, to join their rapidly growing team. While I interviewed, I was transparent about my plans to start a family. Eight months in I was promoted to VP. One month later, I realized I was pregnant. So today, two years later, I bring One Month founder and CEO Mattan Griffel on the show to discuss the perceived risks of hiring women who want to start families, and why he realized that this false cultural narrative is actually limiting himself in the search for great talent. This desire to start a new story about what it takes to grow businesses and babies — and the overlap between entrepreneurship and parenting — was the impetus for starting this podcast. In today’s episode, I talk about the main four reasons I made this podcast a reality, including The flawed narrative of what it means to be pregnant as portrayed in popular culture, The backwards methodology of startups that are self-described as disruptors, Why it’s important to create new ways of working, and Why I ultimately needed to find and listen to other women’s stories to root myself into the place and sense of what it meant to be a pregnant entrepreneur, and then later, to become a working parent. I share the highs and the lows: Vomiting into a grocery store at Whole Foods. Feeling my little one kick for the first time. The sense of isolation both at work and in the company of moms-to-be. Using this as a springboard for launching my next project, then company. Reckoning with colleagues and city-dwellers who didn’t pay attention or notice made me dislike the city’s seeming lack of empathy. This podcast is the start of a conversation about the overlap between entrepreneurship, pregnancy, and parenting. Listen in to why we got started, and I’ll also tell you about some of the inspiring people you’ll meet in the first series to come up ahead. The goal of this podcast is to interview 100 women in a rich tapestry of stories. Along the way, I hope you’ll enjoy discovering the similarities between starting a business and starting a family, and together, we can transform the way the world looks when it comes to working and parenting.

In this week's edition, I've got Sarah K. Peck on the microphone with me! Sarah is an author, startup advisor and yoga instructor based in New York City. She's the founder and executive director of Startup Pregnant, and at this point in her career she's written around 700 essays.(!) Guys, I truly love and adore every single episode of this show that I've had the privilege to produce. Maybe it's the exact place I'm at in my own life right now as mama to a one year old, but I am really in love with this conversation.I hope it inspires you, challenges you and lifts you up all at the same time, because that's exactly what happened to me. A few big points we dive into: How to find and understand your core identity -- aka, who you really are, in just a handful of wordsThe time Sarah broke her foot in college, and the huge lesson that applies to business Why a "just this once" mentality will screw us up, and leads us to a path of excuses The two habit muscles we are always strengthening -- and which one you definitely want to be focusing on Why "waste" and "rest" are not the same -- and how rest is actually an investment in our careersHow to stop feeling guilty about doing things that feel good to us Why Sarah will take her shirt off and shake her boobies around (wait... what?)Some of my very favorite quotes from this episode: “The true test of perserverance and resilience, the people who make it through their 20 mile march are the ones who look at that moment when they COULD make an excuse and they say I’m choosing to do it anyways” “You’re either strengthening the muscle that makes excuses, or you’re strengthening the muscle that does it anyways” “The person who wins, the person who makes it happen isn’t the person who has some magical better circumstances than you” Then, in the Clarity episode, we're talking about a precise process for way better decision making in our businesses & our lives.

After Sarah's Courage story, now we're getting down to business and talking about some real grown-up stuff: making better decisions in our businesses. If you feel like a crazy person, jumping around from thing to thing without accomplishing any one task, this episode is for you. If you can't summarize what you do in 5 words, this episode is for you. And if you're drowning in emails and you find yourself saying "maybe" when in your heart you mean "no", then yep, this episode is for you. We're digging into: What startups and pregnant women / mothers can learn from each otherWhy understanding what you do (and don't do!) is absolutely critical to your ability to make decisions -- and exactly how many things you should be doing Where to turn if you have a hard time describing what you do, if what you do doesn't work, or if you feel crazy busy all the timeHow to find your business "North Star"The 4 categories of business decision making: Delegate, Defer, Automate & Delete Why you should strive to be a little bit bad at some things (like email), and why it's okay to "break stuff" in your business Some favorite quotes from Sarah: "Just because somebody has put something on my task list doesn't mean I have to decide to do it." "Don't defer it if you really mean NO. Because that's actually mean."SHOW NOTES:Sarah's websiteStartup pregnant Clarity episode with Adrienne Dorison Sarah on Instagram Steph on Instagram

I’ve been an active reader my entire life, minus a not-so-brief period when my kids were really young. My mom was a former teacher so books were always around. My husband’s father and step-mother are both retired librarians. Books have played a key role in who I’ve become. But over the years, as my available time to read diminished, I found it necessary to develop a more intentional reading practice. In 2017, I’ve set a goal to read 52 books. This is an ambitious goal for me given the demands on my time, but with a few key lifestyle changes (e.g. not watching TV until bedtime), I can make it happen. That's what we're talking about in today's episode.
