Creating a better business model to support families with Meredith Ventura and Lindsey Baker

Permission to Kick Ass

I LOVE this episode. I sat down with Meredith and Lindsey of The Village Center. These two kickass entrepreneur moms are disrupting the myth that you have to do it all alone as a parent and a business owner. We challenge the cultural norms that set parents up for burnout, reveal why believing in your vision is not just woowoo nonsense, and talk a surprising amount about nipple cream. If you've ever felt like you're getting it all wrong, you'll love their refreshing perspective on how success and struggle are not mutually exclusive.
Can't-Miss Moments from This Episode:

• The simple reframe on competition that will stop you from limiting your own growth...
  
• What Meredith and Lindsey did when the DREAM venue fell through...
  
• Perhaps my favorite quote from any of the interviews I've done: "I'm at a point in my life where I don't want to prove myself to people who don't believe in what I'm doing"
  
• How to get unstuck when you find yourself trapped in an anxiety spiral, wondering if your business will ever work (thank Meredith for this ingenious perspective shift)
  
• One thing you can change TODAY to start increasing your sales right away (hint: it's a lot easier than it might seem)...
