In this inspiring episode of CEO Like a Mother™, I sit down with Abbey Tobolski, President of The Village Initiative, and Rayna Hensmann to talk about how moms can lead change while raising families.

Abbey and Rayna share how The Village Initiative builds a supportive community for women, filling the gap between motherhood and ambition. From organizing home resets to creating judgment-free spaces, they empower others through connection, practical help, and big dreams proving that leadership and motherhood go hand in hand. Toward the end, we also hold space for an honest conversation about child loss and the courage it takes to keep showing up as mothers and leaders.

In this episode of CEO Like a Mother™, I sit down with Kate, a private practice pediatric speech language pathologist in the Michiana area and mom of three under four.

We talk about her journey from high-pressure hospital settings to building a business that reflects her values and her family’s needs. Kate shares her expertise in feeding therapy, airway health, and holistic care and why she believes parents should never “wait and see” when it comes to developmental concerns. Whether you’re navigating the toddler years, running your own business, or simply seeking inspiration from a mom who’s carving her own path, this episode is for you.

In this episode of CEO Like a Mother™, I sit down with Maggie Lord, digital media pioneer and founder of Rustic Wedding Chic, a brand she grew over 12 years before its acquisition by David’s Bridal in 2020. Now a partner at The Whisper Group, Maggie helps female founders build businesses with exits in mind — because success isn’t just about scaling, it’s about owning your worth at every stage.

We talk about:

• Why entrepreneurship can be a powerful path for mothers
• How to separate your business from your identity (your work isn’t your baby!)
• What women need to know early on about exit strategy and why it matters

Whether you're building your first business or it is a chapter you're looking to close, this episode is a must listen for women redefining ambition on their own terms.
