This week we talk to canine rescuer / LinkedIn royalty/ successful businesswoman Lea Turner, founder of The HoLT Community supporting 580+ entrepreneurs worldwide.

In this episode, Lea shares:

• How being a solo parent to her 9-year-old son shaped her unconventional path to business success
• The pivotal moment she defined what "enough" truly means - choosing presence with her son over endless pursuit of more
• Her journey from small transcription business to building a thriving global community
• Real talk about the financial reality of supporting a family as a solo parent entrepreneur
• The strategy behind growing to 178,000 LinkedIn connections (without the usual corporate playbook)

As ambitious mothers, we often struggle with balance. Lea's journey reminds us that sometimes success isn't about scaling higher, but about creating space for what's irreplaceable.

Plus, discover Lea's double life as a real-life Snow White!

Whether you're building a business while raising kids or simply seeking more purpose in your professional path, Lea's practical wisdom and refreshing honesty will inspire you to define success on your own terms.

Alex is back this week!

We had planned to discuss money-saving parenting hacks, but instead found ourselves unpacking why mothers create unnecessary complexity when away from our children.

From triple-checking with capable caregivers to rushing back early when everyone's fine, we explore the psychology behind our self-imposed time limits and the freedom waiting on the other side of mother-guilt.

What you'll gain from this episode:

• Recognition of your own "maternal compensation" patterns
• Strategies to combat the guilt of being away
• Permission to enjoy the mental spaciousness that comes with distance
• Practical steps to simplify your time away
• Understanding how your wholeness as a person benefits your children more than constant presence

Do you rush back when you don't need to? Share your experience in the comments!

We'd love to hear how you navigate time away.

With Alex away on holiday, join me (Tiffany) for a short and sweet solo episode inspired by a LinkedIn post that deeply resonated with so many working mothers.

This episode delves into the fascinating contradictions I've observed in my own motherhood+ambition journey:

• How our children simultaneously mimic our ambition while resisting its reality
• Why "balance" is a myth, but harmony is achievable through seasonal recalibration
• The surprising ways our career shapes our mothering in positive ways

Plus, enjoy my "Kid Quotes" segment featuring my children's logical (yet completely illogical) perspectives on life - from my son's thoughtful response to Anne Frank's diary to how "Debra distracts me."

A candid conversation for any mother navigating the beautiful mess of career aspirations alongside raising tiny humans with big personalities.
