Back-to-school season has a way of turning even the most capable working mom into a full-time logistics manager. I’m Camille Walker, a mom of four with four different schools on the calendar this year, and I wanted a practical reset that doesn’t require me to become superhuman. So I did something fun and surprisingly useful: I asked ChatGPT for back-to-school tips, then I tell you which ones I agree with, how I actually do them, and where real life needs a simpler plan. 

We get into the systems that reduce daily stress fast, starting with planning ahead using a family calendar. I share what’s worked for me with scheduling tools, plus why a big printed, color-coded wall calendar can beat digital invites when kids don’t live in email. We also talk meal prep for busy weeks, freezer and crock pot backups, snack bins, and keeping school lunches simple while still hitting the basics like protein, fruit, and a veggie. 

From there, we move into routines that support both kids and parents: mornings that build independence, after-school transitions that make homework less painful, and how to adjust when attention and energy tank later in the day. I also share my core message for working parents: delegate, ask for help, and don’t carry it all alone, whether that means involving your kids, leaning on your partner, or even hiring a virtual assistant. We wrap with self-care that fits real life, staying flexible when the school year throws curveballs, saying no without guilt, and building stronger connection through check-ins and simple family meetings. 

If this helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a calmer school year, and leave a five-star rating and review.

What happens when a husband starts growing a beard and can't find quality products he actually likes?

For Megan "The Princess" Gray and her husband Colin "The Wizard" Gray, that simple problem sparked the creation of Fable Beard Co. and eventually Fable Beauty—two story-driven brands that have grown from a garage startup into a thriving multi-million-dollar company.

In this episode of Call Me CEO, Camille sits down with Megan and Colin to discuss entrepreneurship, marriage, motherhood, leadership, and what it really takes to build a business from scratch. Megan shares her experience as a female founder leading a company in a traditionally male-dominated industry, while Colin reveals how creativity and storytelling became the secret ingredient behind Fable's passionate customer community.

Together, they discuss how they bootstrapped their business, learned Facebook advertising themselves, manufactured products from their garage, and eventually expanded into a 10,000-square-foot facility while raising three children.

If you've ever wondered whether you can build a successful business without sacrificing your family, this episode will leave you inspired to think bigger.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• How Fable Beard Co. started from a personal need and became a national brand
• The storytelling strategy that transformed ordinary grooming products into collectible experiences
• What it's like running a business with your spouse
• How Megan navigates leadership as a woman in a male-dominated industry
• The challenges and rewards of bootstrapping a company from the ground up
• Why community building has been critical to Fable's growth
• Lessons learned from making only $7,000 in their first year
• How they scaled to millions in annual revenue and earned spots on the Inc. 5000 list
• Their approach to balancing business ownership and parenting
• Marketing strategies that helped fuel growth through Facebook, Meta, Google, and organic content

Key Takeaway

"You don't need permission to lead. Whether you're building a company, raising a family, or doing both at the same time, confidence grows through action."

What if you didn’t need a tech background, investors, or a perfectly mapped-out plan to build a real app?

In this episode of Call Me CEO, Camille sits down with K Botkin, a millennial mom of two and corporate leader who turned a personal frustration into a powerful solution for modern motherhood.

With zero coding experience, K taught herself how to build Kin—an AI-powered assistant designed specifically for moms carrying the mental load of everyday life. What started as a late-night idea at her kitchen table quickly became a fully launched app helping women simplify meal planning, grocery shopping, scheduling, budgeting, and more.

Together, they dive into:

• What it really looks like to build a tech product as a non-technical founder
• The mental load of motherhood and why it sparked the creation of Kin
• How AI can actually simplify life for moms instead of overwhelm them
• Building confidence when you don’t feel “qualified”
• The reality of creating something after bedtime, between work, and real life
• Why the future of AI belongs to everyday moms—not just tech experts

K also shares how resistance from traditional workplace systems pushed her to explore AI independently, and how she began building tools not just for herself—but for moms everywhere who feel like they’re constantly trying to “do it all.”

This is a conversation about motherhood, innovation, and what becomes possible when you stop waiting to feel ready.

About the Guest:

K Botkin is a millennial mom of two young boys, full-time corporate leader, and founder of Kinyoudoitall. She is the creator of Kin, an AI assistant app designed to help moms reduce the mental load of daily life through meal planning, scheduling, budgeting, and more.

She also runs the kinyoudoitall.com blog and community, where she teaches non-technical moms how to use AI in practical, everyday ways.

What happens when a business idea doesn't work—and you have the courage to pivot anyway?

In this episode of Call Me CEO, Camille sits down with Jordan, CEO and co-founder of SupportNow, a platform helping families navigate life's most challenging moments through community support, fundraising, meal coordination, volunteer scheduling, and updates—all in one place.

Today, SupportNow has supported more than 180,000 users and helped raise over $11 million for families in need. But the journey to get there wasn't straightforward.

Jordan shares the behind-the-scenes story of launching a completely different product, raising more than $1 million in funding, realizing it wasn't gaining traction, and making the difficult decision to pivot. That decision ultimately led to creating a platform that is making a meaningful difference for families facing cancer diagnoses, medical challenges, loss, special needs situations, and other major life events.

Together, Camille and Jordan discuss entrepreneurship, motherhood, resilience, community, and why learning how to receive support may be just as important as giving it.

One of the biggest lessons from this conversation is that success doesn't always come from getting it right the first time. Sometimes it comes from listening, adapting, and having the courage to change course.

Whether you're building a business, supporting a loved one, or navigating a difficult season yourself, this episode offers a powerful reminder that community matters.

What if the thing standing between you and your next big idea isn't time, money, or experience—but simply taking the first step?

In this episode of Call Me CEO, Camille sits down with entrepreneur and app founder Julia Leffler to discuss the creation of Releve, a habit-tracking app designed to help people build consistency through community accountability and AI-powered coaching.

What makes Julia's story especially inspiring is that she launched the app in just seven weeks while recovering from emergency gallbladder surgery and raising two young children. She shares how she self-funded the project, used AI tools to streamline development and marketing, and embraced progress over perfection to bring her idea to life.

Together, Camille and Julia discuss entrepreneurship, motherhood, habit-building, mindfulness, and why waiting for the "perfect time" often keeps women from pursuing their biggest goals.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How Julia built and launched Releve in just seven weeks
• The surprising low-cost strategy she used to develop the app
• How AI tools helped accelerate content creation and business growth
• Why community accountability can make habits stick
• Practical ways to reduce decision fatigue as a busy mom
• How consistent small actions create momentum in business and life
• The connection between mindfulness, self-care, and leadership
• Why "There's never a right time. There's just now."

One of Julia's biggest lessons from building Releve is a reminder every entrepreneur needs to hear: You may be more qualified than you think. The only way to find out is to start.

In this personal solo episode of Call Me CEO, Camille shares the unexpected lessons she learned during a year filled with major family transitions, health challenges, and a complete re-evaluation of what success really means.

After a health crisis landed her in the emergency room last fall, Camille was forced to slow down, ask for help, and confront the reality that pushing harder wasn’t the answer. Through navigating motherhood, business ownership, physical recovery, and emotional processing, she discovered that growth doesn’t always look like expansion. Sometimes it looks like simplifying, healing, and learning to listen.

In this episode, Camille shares:

• Why growth sometimes feels like being stripped down instead of building up
• The health scare that changed how she approaches work and life
• Managing personal capacity and learning to say no
• The challenges of navigating multiple family transitions at once
• How breathwork became a powerful tool for emotional processing
• What low iron, vitamin deficiencies, and hormone health taught her about wellness
• The importance of getting blood work and understanding your body’s unique needs
• How she uses her Oura Ring to track sleep, stress, and recovery
• Why clarity creates confidence in both life and business
• The surprising power of slowing down and receiving support

Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, feeling overwhelmed, or simply trying to balance business and family life, this episode serves as a reminder that your health, energy, and well-being matter.

What if you didn’t have to choose between building a successful business and being present in your life?

In this episode of Call Me CEO, I sit down with Arvi Carkanji, founder and CEO of Elite Talent Recruiting, a boutique headhunting firm helping high-growth startups hire top-tier talent.

But Arvi’s story isn’t a straight path to success.

She moved to the United States at 17 with no safety net, put herself through college cleaning houses and babysitting, built a business that failed… and then made the decision to start over.

And this time, she built differently.

In just a few years, she’s grown a thriving business with a 92% retention rate and become a trusted partner to founders and executives—but what makes this conversation so powerful isn’t just the success.

It’s the honesty.

We talk about failure, starting from scratch, competing in a saturated industry, and the very real tension of building a business while raising a child.

If you’ve ever wondered if you can really “have both”… this episode will give you a grounded, honest perspective on what that actually looks like.

What if everything you’ve been taught about personal safety is wrong?

In this episode of Call Me CEO, I sit down with Kelly Sayre, founder of The Diamond Arrow Group and bestselling author of Sharp Women.

Kelly is on a mission to completely redefine how women think about safety—not through fear-based tactics, but through confidence, intuition, and situational awareness.

Her journey began with a moment so many moms can relate to: realizing she was responsible for keeping her children safe… and not feeling prepared to do it.

That moment turned into a business, a movement, and a message that’s now reaching women everywhere—from local communities to Fortune 50 companies.

In this conversation, we go beyond surface-level safety tips and dive into the deeper truth about what actually keeps women safe, the mental load moms are carrying every day, and how Kelly built a mission-driven business rooted in impact, not fear.

This episode will challenge the way you think—and leave you feeling more confident, aware, and in control.

Are you trying to do everything in your business yourself?

In this episode of Call Me CEO, Camille sits down with entrepreneur and operations expert Elizabeth Eiss to talk about what it really takes to scale a business sustainably—without running yourself into the ground.

Elizabeth brings decades of leadership experience from Fortune 500 companies and now helps entrepreneurs and small business owners build smarter, more supported businesses through virtual teams, systems, and strategic delegation.

Together, Camille and Elizabeth unpack one of the biggest mindset shifts for women entrepreneurs: growth doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from building the right processes, tools, and support.

If you’ve ever wondered:
• “When is the right time to hire help?”
• “What should I delegate first?”
• “How do I grow when I can’t afford a huge team?”
• “How do I stop being the bottleneck in my own business?”

Summer can feel magical… and completely overwhelming.

If you’ve ever entered summer excited for memory-making only to find yourself exhausted, overscheduled, constantly buying snacks, and somehow becoming everyone’s full-time entertainment coordinator—this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the simple summer planning tradition my family lovingly makes fun of me for every single year: our Summer Bucket List Meeting.

We sit down together and answer one important question:

“What do we want summer to feel like?”

And honestly? It changes everything.

Instead of ending summer wondering where the time went, we intentionally create a rhythm that supports fun, connection, rest, and realistic expectations for everyone (including mom).

I’ll walk you through the exact process we use—including our “three rounds” bucket list method—and how to create healthy summer boundaries so you can enjoy the season instead of surviving it.

In this episode, we cover:

 How to create a summer rhythm instead of a rigid schedule
 The family bucket list system we use every year (yes, the one my kids tease me about )
 Questions to ask your kids and spouse before filling the calendar
 Why asking “What do we want summer to feel like?” matters more than planning every activity
Boundaries for moms who feel stretched too thin in summer
Why you are not the family entertainment committee
How to create more white space without guilt
Practical ideas for simple summer fun that kids actually remember

Some of our family summer favorites include:

• Floating the river
• Slurpee runs
• A random Fortnight day 
• Shakes at Bear Lake
• Cousin sleepovers
• Rock climbing and adventuring
• Movie nights and spontaneous memory-making

Because the truth is:

Summer doesn’t have to be Pinterest-perfect to be meaningful.

Sometimes the best memories are simple, silly, and unplanned.

What does it really look like to build a business while raising a family?

In this episode of Call Me CEO, I’m joined by Ashley Ortiz, founder and CEO of Bella Vista Painting, a woman- and minority-owned, family-run painting company she built alongside her husband in the Pacific Northwest.

But this isn’t a highlight reel conversation.

Ashley shares the behind-the-scenes reality of building her business from the ground up—working full-time jobs, bringing her kids to job sites, and navigating the overwhelming season of doing everything herself.

We talk about the turning point that shifted her out of survival mode, how hiring the right support changed everything, and what it actually takes to build a business that creates both income and presence.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, stuck doing it all, or unsure how to grow without burning out… this episode will give you both perspective and practical next steps.

Your business was supposed to create time freedom, not a never-ending to-do list that follows you into nights and weekends. I’m Camille from CamilleWalker.co, a mom of four who’s built an online business for 14 years, and I’m sharing the delegation framework I use to help overwhelmed entrepreneurs step into the CEO role and finally get their time back.

We start with the real reason so many founders feel stuck: when you’re doing emails, admin, social media, customer service, scheduling, and content all at once, everything feels urgent and nothing feels done. I walk you through a simple time audit that shows exactly where your week goes, then we sort your work into repeat tasks, energy-draining tasks, and the “only I can do this” tasks. You’ll also learn my shoulder-above versus shoulder-below filter so you can protect the work that requires your voice, face, and decision making while outsourcing the rest.

Then we get tactical about hiring a virtual assistant as your first support hire, even if you only start with 3 to 5 hours a week. I share where to find VA candidates, how to write a clear job description, and how to onboard with tools like Trello, Asana, or ClickUp plus simple SOPs and a communication rhythm that builds trust. If you want a calmer schedule, a stronger team, and a business that can actually scale, hit play, subscribe, and share this with a friend, then leave a five star review so more moms can find it.

Summer is supposed to feel like a deep breath, but for a lot of moms it turns into nonstop motion: camps, meals, screens, messy kitchens, and the constant question of how to keep kids happy while you’re still working. I’m Camille, and I’m sharing the real-life summer systems I use to create more calm without squeezing the joy out of the season. We talk about why perfection is the quickest path to burnout, and why your kids will remember how they felt far more than how the day looked.

You’ll hear practical ideas you can tailor to your family, including simple morning checklists, screen time reward systems, and themed days that give everyone something to look forward to. I also explain what I call a “soft routine,” that sweet spot where kids know what to expect but you still have room to be flexible. One of my favorite strategies is a summer bucket list family meeting, then turning those ideas into a visible calendar so your kids feel heard and the fun actually happens.

We also get into delegation and lowering the mental load with home “zones,” age-appropriate chores, grocery delivery, and meal planning that includes your kids. If you’re drowning in to-dos, I share my free Ultimate Time Audit and Productivity System so you can see where your time is going and what to delegate first.

If this helps, subscribe to Call Me CEO, share it with a friend who needs a calmer summer routine, and leave a review so more moms can find these tools.

What happens when a mom loses her support system after moving across the country? For Beth Heyer, it sparked the creation of an entire business designed to help families find reliable childcare.

In this episode of Call Me CEO, Camille Walker sits down with Beth Heyer, the founder of Babysitter Connections, a fast-growing babysitting agency operating across Texas and Ohio. Beth shares how her background in corporate recruiting unexpectedly prepared her to build a network of 280 vetted sitters and facilitate more than 75,000 babysitting bookings.

Beth opens up about the early days of entrepreneurship—launching the business just six weeks before COVID, working long hours while raising four kids, and learning the importance of hiring help sooner rather than later.

The conversation also explores an interesting mindset shift: Beth doesn’t naturally identify with the title “CEO,” preferring to call herself the owner and founder. Camille challenges that belief and explores what it truly means to lead a growing company while navigating motherhood.

If you’ve ever wondered how to build a service-based business that truly solves a problem—or how to maintain strong boundaries with clients while scaling—this episode is full of real-world insights.

You set the goals, built the business, showed up consistently… and yet—something still feels off.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Why doesn’t this feel as good as I thought it would?”—this episode is for you.

• Why success doesn’t always equal fulfillment
• The hidden patterns keeping high-achieving women stuck
• How to say no without guilt (and actually stick to it)
• The truth about boundaries and why they feel so hard

In this podcast interview, Camille Walker speaks with Bron Watson, owner of The Social Coach marketing agency and founder of The Serenity Project, focusing on her journey as a business owner, mother, and cancer survivor. The discussion centers on Bron's transition from a high-pressure, hustle-driven business mindset to one of alignment, resilience, and self-care, prompted by her experiences with breast cancer and later an incurable blood cancer diagnosis. Bron shares how these health challenges forced her to reevaluate her approach to business, emphasizing the importance of slowing down, setting boundaries, and building a business around personal values—specifically, healing. She describes the Serenity Project as a resource bridging science and soul for those affected by cancer, and highlights the value of surrounding oneself with experts and letting go of the need to control every aspect of business. Both speakers discuss the power of journaling for emotional awareness and resilience, and Bron provides practical advice on maintaining boundaries, focusing on 'what's next,' and aligning business decisions with core personal priorities. The conversation concludes with Bron inviting listeners to connect via her website and podcast, and both women affirming the importance of collaboration and supporting women in business and healing.

Are you the one everyone leans on? The dependable one. The strong one. The CEO at work and the emotional anchor at home.

In this powerful episode of Call Me CEO, I sit down with licensed therapist and founder of The Healing Point Therapy & Wellness, Cherise Small, to talk about what “holding it all together” is really costing high-achieving women — especially mothers running businesses.

If you’re a mom entrepreneur navigating business growth, emotional burnout, boundaries, and leadership identity, this conversation will hit home.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• The hidden cost of being the “strong one” in motherhood and business
• How overfunctioning shows up in women entrepreneurs
• Emotional burnout in high-capacity women
• Why performing strength can quietly sabotage your leadership
• How to model boundaries for your children
• Delegating without guilt as a CEO mom
• Growing a therapy practice while protecting peace
• a business without losing your voice
• The emotional shift required to stop white-knuckling everything

Cherise shares how building her private practice changed her motherhood, how she learned to stop being everything to everyone, and what it really looks like to lead from emotional alignment instead of survival.

What does it really take to build a profitable business while raising a family—and still like your life? Jennifer joins us with a story that starts in a delivery room and a bakery build-out and grows into a 20-year company she eventually sold. We pull back the curtain on the nine pillars she now uses to help women prioritize profit, protect their time, and grow a business that can thrive without burning them out.

We get practical fast: how to price with data instead of emotion, track time to uncover hidden labor, and guard your gross margins so there’s money left for subscriptions, overhead, and your paycheck. Jennifer explains why simplifying offers can unlock growth—like trimming 72 SKUs down to 16—and how a focused niche turns you from forgettable to top-of-mind. You’ll hear the difference between selling “cookies” and selling “gifts,” and how a photographer quadrupled revenue by choosing real estate over everything else.

Community becomes a strategy, not a nice-to-have. Jennifer lays out the Fab Five advisory circle—an industry peer, a seasoned mentor, an operator outside your field, a younger spark, and a trusted confidant—so you have wisdom, innovation, and emotional safety on speed dial. On the sales front, we reframe follow-up as care, not pressure, with simple email cadences, value-first touch points, and even handwritten notes that cut through the noise. Along the way we talk boundaries, presence at home, and getting kids involved so the lessons of grit and service become a family legacy.

If you’re a mom founder aiming for profit, simplicity, and staying power, this conversation hands you a blueprint: niche clearly, price bravely, follow up consistently, and let your community lift you.

What does it really mean to be the CEO of your life when the system feels uncertain?

Vanessa shares what it’s like to work in one of the most complex and emotionally charged areas of law—and how leadership, resilience, and self-trust show up when the stakes are high.

We talk about the human side of immigration law, common misconceptions, and what immigrant entrepreneurs need to know as they build businesses, wealth, and opportunity in the U.S. This conversation is a powerful reminder that being a CEO isn’t just about business—it’s about courage, clarity, and claiming your future.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What inspired Vanessa to specialize in immigration law

Ready to quiet the inner critic and lead with calm, clear compassion? Camille shares seven practical, low-lift rules that help you navigate motherhood, work, and ambition without drowning in guilt. From a relatable parking lot moment of chaos to research-backed reframes, you’ll learn how to shift your self-talk, set humane goals, and build systems that support a kinder day.

We start with a perspective flip: imagine your sixty‑year‑old self coaching you through today’s mess with tenderness and wisdom. That lens turns judgment into empathy and opens the door to Rule 1, embracing your uniqueness and learning curve. Then we move into what you can actually control. Let go of outcomes like potty training timelines or teen sleep cycles, and redirect energy toward your choices—your tone, your plan, and your next small step. Camille shows how listing strengths, pairing them with gratitude, and celebrating tiny wins can regulate stress and reinforce progress.

You’ll also hear how focused priorities and simple prep rituals make compassion easier to practice. Two or three daily priorities beat a bloated to‑do list, and a five‑minute nightly review reduces morning chaos. We spotlight Kristen Neff’s best‑friend reframe—swap rigid identity statements for kind intentions you can act on today. The result is a realistic, repeatable approach to self-compassion that works in carpools, conference calls, and everything in between.

Choose one starting point: name three strengths, schedule two gentle goals, or plan tomorrow in five minutes. Then tell us how it goes. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a softer inner voice, and leave a quick review to help more women find practical tools for a kinder life.

Want a calmer home and a lighter heart without adding more to your plate? Camille gets candid about what actually moves the needle for moms who feel stretched thin: taking a real inventory of time, turning down comparison, and writing honest truths that challenge fear. This is a practical, compassionate guide to feeling happier while you raise kids and keep your dreams alive.

We start with time, because time tells the truth. Camille shows how to stack joy on chores you already do—podcasts while cooking, music during cleanup, a favorite show in one ear while you manage the dinner rush—so your day feeds you back. She shares the power of a personal joy list and explains why sleep and exercise act like washing machines for your mind, restoring patience and energy when both feel scarce. Bath time becomes a flexible pocket for reading aloud, quick tidying, or quiet listening that lifts your mood without leaving the room.

Then we get honest about noise. Social feeds often turn into a loop of comparison that drains confidence and warps perspective. Camille walks through a simple nightly ritual—screens off, counters cleared, candle lit, a timer for family wind-down—that protects your recharge window and recenters gratitude. Finally, she lays out a writing practice to list strengths and name fears on paper, then ask: what else is true? That shift turns guilt into grounded action and models repair for your kids when tempers fray.

If you’re craving more flexibility, Camille also shares a path to build a home-based career as a virtual assistant, setting your own schedule and serving clients with skills you already have.

Together, they explore how science and self-care intertwine to empower women to redefine beauty on their own terms.

If you’ve ever struggled with burnout, self-image, or feeling disconnected from your reflection, this conversation will help you see beauty through a new, empowering lens.

MIXHERS: Her Nightly Code Camille10 https://mixhers.com?current-token=Bedv3oom

A seven-second “mom fail” video, 22 million views, and a brand-new path. Our conversation with Melissa Hughes, founder of Rise Social Media Agency, is a candid look at how authentic storytelling can turn a personal turning point into a clear, magnetic brand. Melissa opens up about a valley season that tested her identity, the unexpected viral clip that launched her into entrepreneurship, and the mindset shifts that helped her lead with purpose while raising confident kids.

We dig into why story beats slogans every time. Melissa breaks down psychographics—the beliefs, emotions, and inner shifts behind your milestones—and shows how they create resonance your audience can feel. You’ll hear a powerful case study of a client who moved beyond a generic “unstoppable” message by sharing a pivotal mental health battle, unlocking relevance, booking stages, and a mission that finally made sense. If you’ve ever wondered how to clarify your message, this is the blueprint: define the belief you held, the moment that changed it, and the mission that followed.

We also get tactical. Melissa shares her content cadence, how to capture working processes with simple screen recordings, and why hiring for complementary strengths transforms your capacity. At home, she uses clear systems—the “five B’s” routine—to build independence and peace, proving that delegation isn’t lazy parenting; it’s leadership. And we reframe imposter syndrome as a signal you’re expanding into work that fits who you really are when it’s rooted in authenticity.

If you’re a mom, creator, or founder ready to evolve without burning out, you’ll walk away with practical steps to focus your offer, say no with confidence, and build a brand that grows because it’s true. Listen, share with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a quick review to tell us the defining moment shaping your message today.

Tag Camille on Instagram and share your favorite takeaway — she’d love to hear how you’re protecting your peace this season!

A single pricing decision can change the fate of a company—and the families it serves. Camille sits down with Mary Fusillo, CEO of Family Solutions International, to trace her path from ER nurse and ICU leader to fertility entrepreneur who rethought pricing, unbundled services, and built a national program that gives intended parents real choice without losing the human touch.

We walk through the evolution of egg donation, from early, limited options to today’s transparent, data-rich matching with deep health histories and video profiles. Mary breaks down who uses donor eggs now—women facing diminished ovarian reserve, single dads, and same-sex couples—and why fresh donor cycles often deliver stronger pregnancy rates than frozen eggs. If you’re career-focused and considering kids later, you’ll get actionable guidance on timelines, realistic success odds, and the true costs of egg freezing, plus how employer benefits can help. For donors, Mary explains safety, physiology, and the ethical guardrails that cap cycles to protect health and genetic diversity.

On the business side, Mary shares the hard-won lessons: why being “the cheapest” slowed growth, how a simple whiteboard session revealed the power of raising prices slightly above average, and how unbundling legal, psych, and escrow fees clarified value while improving margins. Cutting credit card fees, automating CRM touchpoints, and keeping interviews personal turned a scrappy startup into a trusted resource. She also opens up about boundaries, timers, and a weekend ritual of real rest that kept her present for her twins and resilient through 18 years of entrepreneurship.

If you’re building a service brand or navigating fertility choices, this conversation blends strategy, science, and empathy. Hit follow, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review—your support helps more people find clear answers and the courage to value their work.

In this heartfelt episode of Call Me CEO, Camille Walker shares 10 easy steps to help mom entrepreneurs find peace and balance during the holidays. Learn how to simplify your schedule, set boundaries, automate tasks, and reclaim the joy of the season — without letting stress steal your sparkle.

Key Takeaways:

1. Set Your Holiday Intention: Choose how you want the season to feel.
2. Audit Your Calendar: Keep only what aligns with your priorities.

When you're running a business and managing a family, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle. But what happens when life throws a curveball—a health crisis, family emergency, or unexpected loss?

In this episode of Call Me CEO, host Camille Walker sits down with Colleen Watson, CEO of Century Plant Business Services and a legacy consultant with a heart for helping entrepreneurs get their affairs in order before chaos strikes. With a deeply personal story as the foundation for her mission, Colleen empowers small business owners to create plans for the "what ifs" in life—because it’s not a matter of if, but when.

Together, they dive into:

• Why legacy planning isn’t just about death—it’s about peace of mind
• How to start gentle, loving conversations with aging parents or spouses
• What every entrepreneur should have in place to protect their business and family
• Free checklists and resources to begin taking action today

Colleen reminds us that avoiding these conversations can cost more than we realize—financially, emotionally, and relationally. But with small, doable steps, you can build a safety net that brings clarity during chaos.

Camille also shares a touching family tradition that turned a Christmas into a "living will" of love and appreciation—proof that legacy isn’t just paperwork, it’s people.

 Tune in to learn how to make the uncomfortable conversations easier and take back your power before life happens.

Preparing our children for life's inevitable challenges might be the greatest gift we can offer them as parents. Jennifer Borget, a thriving content creator, former broadcast journalist, and homeschooling mother of three, reveals how modeling entrepreneurship and resilience has shaped her family's journey through both successes and setbacks.

What began as an anonymous blog while working as a news anchor has evolved into a multifaceted content creation business spanning multiple platforms. Jennifer shares the unexpected path that led to developing physical products like the Family Movie Night Journal, which families across the country now use to create meaningful traditions together.

The conversation dives deep into how children absorb entrepreneurial lessons through observation. Jennifer's kids witness two contrasting career models—their father's traditional employment and their mother's self-directed business—giving them a broader understanding of what's possible for their futures. Through practical involvement in her business, from helping with design elements to fulfilling orders, her children gain hands-on experience while creating family memories.

Most powerfully, Jennifer emphasizes that showing our children how to navigate failure might be our most important teaching opportunity. "You can change your mind and that's okay" becomes a liberating mantra that reduces the fear of making mistakes. When children see parents pivot, adjust course, or even throw the occasional bagel during a moment of frustration, they learn that resilience isn't about perfection—it's about honest communication and getting back up after setbacks.

For parents hoping to nurture limitless potential in their children, Jennifer offers this wisdom: counter the world's limiting messages with consistent affirmation, recognize each child's unique gifts rather than forcing predetermined paths, and create space for their individual dreams to flourish. The greatest legacy we can leave isn't financial success but children who believe in their ability to create meaningful lives on their own terms.

Ever wondered how to turn financial expertise into a thriving remote business that creates both freedom and wealth? Sherrel T. Martin, founder and CEO of Nitrum Financial Solutions, pulls back the curtain on building a successful virtual bookkeeping practice that serves entrepreneurs while allowing her to be present for her family.

Contrary to popular belief, Sherrel reveals that bookkeeping success hinges more on problem-solving abilities than mathematical prowess. "Math is the smallest part," she explains, dispelling the myth that you need complex calculation skills to excel in this field. What truly matters is understanding compliance, creating systems, and helping clients navigate financial decisions with confidence.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Sherrel shares her methodology for helping business owners actually pay themselves consistently—a struggle for many entrepreneurs. Through implementing cash management systems based on the "Profit First" approach, she's transformed how clients view their money, leading to greater personal and business wealth. Her mission goes beyond accurate books; she's passionate about creating a financial legacy for herself and those she serves.

For aspiring bookkeepers, Sherrel offers practical wisdom on avoiding common pitfalls: pricing services appropriately (hint: bundle packages instead of hourly billing), finding your industry niche, and being intentional about client selection. Her candid admission about leaving her corporate job too quickly resonates with anyone contemplating their own entrepreneurial leap.

Whether you're considering a bookkeeping business or simply want to better understand your company's finances, this episode delivers actionable insights on creating profitability, maintaining proper financial boundaries, and building a business that serves your life rather than consuming it. Discover why "pricing for profit" might be the mindset shift that transforms your financial future.

Let’s talk about something we’ve all been told a million times: “You just need more balance.”

But here’s the truth… balance is a myth. And honestly? It’s keeping you stuck.

When you’re chasing “balance,” you end up stretched thin, constantly feeling guilty, and always wondering why you’re not doing enough. I’ve been there — trying to juggle a corporate career, growing my first blog MyMommyStyle, and being present for my family. It left me exhausted, burned out, and frustrated.

The shift happened when I stopped chasing balance and started designing my life with intention. Instead of trying to do everything equally, I began asking:

 Who matters most today?

 Where does my energy truly belong?

 What can I delegate or release?

That’s when I finally stepped into my CEO energy — creating rhythms that supported my business, my family, and myself without the constant pressure of hustle culture.

And that’s exactly what I’ll be teaching inside my brand-new program, The CEO Mindset™. 

If you’ve been craving freedom, alignment, and clarity in your business (and life), you’re going to love this. The program is opening soon, and I’m giving early access to my VIP list.

Ever wondered how some entrepreneurs land major media features while others spend thousands on ads with minimal results? Former journalist Mercedes Barba pulls back the curtain on the world of earned media, revealing exactly how busy moms can get featured in publications like Business Insider, Forbes, and more—without spending a dime.

After 15 years as a journalist covering everything from Hollywood red carpets to personal finance, Mercedes noticed something fascinating: entrepreneurs featured in major publications often appeared across multiple outlets, exponentially growing their visibility and businesses. Now, as the founder of Mercedes and Media, she helps small business owners and mompreneurs tap into this powerful yet underutilized marketing strategy.

The secret lies in crafting compelling story angles that appeal to specific publications and their audiences. Mercedes shares tactical advice on creating irresistible pitches (keep them short!), finding the right journalists (research is key), and following up effectively. Unlike paid placements that can cost thousands, earned media builds authentic credibility while generating valuable backlinks and leads. One client's Business Insider feature instantly generated 5,000 leads to her website!

What makes this approach particularly valuable for mothers is its efficiency. Rather than constant content creation across multiple platforms, strategic media features provide maximum impact during limited work hours—allowing you to be fully present with your children when it matters most. As Mercedes puts it, "Time is your most valuable asset. Money means nothing if you can't control your own time."

Ready to elevate your business through media coverage? Grab Mercedes' free pitch template and start crafting your story today. The journalist's inbox is waiting for you!

Ready to trade that frantic back-to-school feeling for something more sustainable? This episode is your permission slip to breathe and create intentional rhythms instead of rigid routines that crumble at the first sign of life's inevitable curveballs.

We dive deep into what's really keeping you stuck (spoiler: it's often that voice in your head saying you're not doing enough). That story you're telling yourself that you're behind, disorganized, or that everything will fall apart if you take a break? That's fear talking, not truth. You're not failing - you're in transition, and transitions require grace and strategy, not shame.

Practical strategies abound in this conversation - from setting focused work blocks as non-negotiables to creating a family control center where everyone can see what's happening. We explore the power of regular family meetings and why giving your children your full attention now builds the foundation for open communication during the teenage years. The rhythms you establish today create the life you'll look back on tomorrow.

Self-care isn't just a buzzword - it's a business strategy. Whether it's morning workouts, walks with friends, or quiet reading time, identifying what fuels you and actually scheduling it into your calendar is essential. Different seasons of motherhood require different approaches, but the principle remains: you cannot pour from an empty cup.

Join us for the free Mom and Mind Virtual Summit where we'll continue this conversation with expert mompreneurs who understand exactly what you're going through. Because you deserve support as you build a life and business you love without losing your sanity in the process. Ready to make this season a fresh start rather than a frantic mess? Let's do this together.

Hey there, fellow summer survivors!

It’s Camille from "Call Me, CEO,” and I've got something fun to spice up your sun-soaked days. It’s part of our “Summer Sanity Savers” series, dedicated to keeping that pesky “I’m bored” monster at bay! Let’s dive into an exciting boredom-busting adventure with three magical bins that can transform your home into a summer haven.

Say Hello to the Boredom Buster Bin!

This is where the magic begins! Think of it as your secret weapon against mid-summer boredom. Fill it with easy-peasy activities—coloring books, sticker pads, a deck of UNO cards, and maybe some madly lovable Mad Libs. How about adding a “Time for Us” journal? It’s something I whipped up on Amazon for parents and kids to unleash their creativity together.

Next Up: The Busy Box

When you need some ‘me-time,’ this box is your go-to. Stock it with puzzles, Legos, or some awesome kinetic sand for sensory fun. Rotate those goodies weekly to keep things fresh. And here’s a fun project—punch-needle crafts to create adorable characters and landscapes. It’s like introducing your kids to the zen of crafting!

Let’s Not Forget the Backyard Fun Bin!

For outdoor adventures, this bin is a must-have. Toss in some chalk, bubbles, water balloons, and squirt guns. Maybe a bug-catching kit for your little explorers? This bin screams “go outside and play!” Perfect for when the kids have a case of cabin fever and need to get those wiggles out.

Keep It Fresh, Keep It Fun

The trick is all in the accessibility and the element of surprise. Let your kiddos pick one bin at a time, and swap out the toys regularly to keep their interest piqued. Remember, treasures from the Dollar Store are your best friends in this game of rotation!

Wrapping Up the Fun!

These bins are your summer superheroes, swooping in to save the day from boredom blues. With them, you’ll have a bit more time to breathe, relax, and even enjoy that coffee while it’s hot.

I’d love to see how you set up your bins! Share your fun creations by tagging me on Instagram at @callmeceopodcast or @camillewalker.co. Found this post helpful? Spread the joy! Share it with another mom who’s ready for a calmer, cooler summer. Remember, sharing is caring, and I’m thrilled to have you on this journey. Until next time, stay sane and enjoy the sun!

In this solo episode of Call Me CEO, host Camille Walker shares one of her favorite sanity-saving strategies for summer—creating themed days of the week to help keep things fun and predictable for both you and your kids. If you’ve ever heard “What are we doing today?” for the hundredth time before 9 a.m., this one’s for you.

Camille walks through five simple but creative day themes that can bring structure without feeling rigid:

• Make it Monday – craft, build, bake, or create together
• Try it Tuesday – check out a new park, recipe, or local adventure
• Water Wednesday – cool down with sprinklers, splash pads, or a DIY car wash
• Thoughtful Thursday – teach kindness with simple service or gratitude activities
• Free-for-All Friday – let the kids take the lead and enjoy a chill day on their terms

This approach gives your week a rhythm that kids can look forward to and participate in. Plus, it takes some of the mental load off of you as a mom trying to fill those long summer days. Camille also encourages listeners to customize the themes to fit their own family vibe and share their favorite ideas online!

Themed summer days have been one of my favorite ways to keep summer manageable, intentional, and most importantly—fun. Whether you follow this exact model or create your own, I hope this gives you a framework that brings a little more peace and play to your home.

And if you have your own fun theme ideas, I’d love to hear them! Come say hi on Instagram @CallMeCEOPodcast or drop me a note over at CamilleWalker.co.

Also—don’t forget! Our Mom In Mind Summit is coming this September. If you’re a mom navigating the balance of home, life, and business, you won’t want to miss it. We’re diving into conversations that support your mindset, your routines, and your goals—with expert speakers who get the season of life you’re in.

Here’s to a summer full of connection, creativity, and a whole lot of grace. You’ve got this, mama! 

Have you been caught in the trap of believing you need thousands of followers to build a profitable business? Kelly Leardon, CEO of Walk Like Warriors, shatters this myth by revealing how she built a thriving coaching practice with fewer than 1,000 Instagram followers and consistently sells out her programs through genuine connection rather than viral marketing.

The landscape of online business has dramatically shifted since the "golden age" of social media between 2020-2023. Today's successful entrepreneurs aren't those with the flashiest reels or largest follower counts—they're the ones who nurture authentic relationships and deliver exceptional results. Kelly walks us through her journey from fractional Director of Operations to business coach, describing the pivotal moment when she received DMs from women seeking her guidance despite her tiny following of just 100 people.

What sets Kelly's approach apart is her unflinching commitment to serving her audience with substantial, educational content rather than chasing viral moments. She explains why one follower who discovers you through a personal recommendation is worth a thousand from a viral post, and how to build launch strategies that don't depend on massive audiences. For entrepreneurs who struggle with time management (especially those with ADHD tendencies), Kelly shares her innovative "Time Mastery" system, complete with color-coding and themed days that accommodate women's multifaceted thinking styles.

Whether you're just starting your business journey or feeling frustrated by slow follower growth, this episode provides refreshing permission to focus on depth rather than breadth. Kelly's multi-five-figure launches with a modest following demonstrate that when you obsess over your audience's success and create products that truly transform lives, conventional metrics become irrelevant. Her practical insights on nurturing waitlists, crafting effective launch sequences, and balancing work with family life offer a sustainable path to building a business you genuinely love.

What happens when a family of savvy couponers discovers the world of online deals and affiliate marketing? Sandy Walton and Kathy Parsons, sisters and co-owners of Sassy Saves, transformed their money-saving expertise into a thriving digital business that now supports multiple families.

Starting just before the pandemic hit, their timing couldn't have been better. As the world locked down and online shopping surged, these sisters built a structure that allowed them to share deals around the clock. "During COVID, we just saw our business take off," they explain. Between them, they're raising 11 children while managing a team that includes family members spanning multiple generations—from parents to siblings to in-laws.

Their journey wasn't without challenges. From navigating complex family dynamics to experiencing burnout, the Sassy Saves team learned valuable lessons about setting boundaries and supporting each other. "We all suffer from burnout. We take turns," Sandy shares candidly. "Whenever Kathy's having a moment, she calls me and says 'I give up today, we're done.' And I'm like 'no, we can do this.'" This support system has proven crucial to their sustained success.

What truly sets them apart is their unwavering consistency. For five years straight, they haven't missed a single day of posting deals. This dedication, combined with their intimate knowledge of what constitutes a genuinely good deal, has earned them a loyal following across multiple platforms. They've mastered the delicate balance of creating urgency around deals without misleading their audience, maintaining integrity in an industry where trust is everything.

For those interested in affiliate marketing, their advice is refreshingly honest: know your value, be prepared to work extremely hard before seeing significant returns, and understand that social media platforms are businesses. "If you don't have your number in your mind, then it's not worth your time," they emphasize, highlighting the importance of valuing yourself and your work appropriately.

What if marketing your business felt natural, authentic, and—dare we say—enjoyable? Mills Gray is on a mission to help service providers ditch the aggressive "bro marketing" tactics and build client journeys that feel good for everyone involved.

Drawing from 17 years of business ownership and her fascinating background as a scuba instructor, Mills brings a fresh perspective to marketing high-ticket services. Her approach is refreshingly simple: find marketing strategies you actually enjoy and focus there, rather than spreading yourself thin across every platform and tactic.

"The key to all of it is finding the thing that you really enjoy doing and also getting your marketing message right," Mills explains. Too often, we market from our expert perspective, five steps ahead of where our clients actually are. The result? Our messaging falls flat because we're not addressing the problems our clients recognize they have.

Mills walks us through creating a natural client journey that respects the relationship-building process. Comparing it to dating, she reminds us that rushing to sell is like proposing on the first date—it simply doesn't work. Instead, she recommends nurturing leads through value-driven content that helps potential clients get to know you before making a purchasing decision.

When it comes to lead magnets, Mills advocates for simplicity: "Don't get too bogged down. Do two hours max on your lead magnet and then just send the damn thing." She explains that cold audiences will give you seven minutes of their attention at most, so focus on quick wins rather than elaborate challenges.

For service providers struggling with pricing, Mills offers a refreshing perspective on valuing your time and expertise appropriately. She challenges the notion that lower prices lead to more sales, explaining that perception of value plays a crucial role in client decisions.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to elevate your existing business, this conversation will help you create marketing that aligns with who you are while effectively connecting with the clients you're meant to serve.

Ever feel like you're drowning in a sea of content creation? Constantly filming, writing captions, posting updates, and sending emails while wondering if there's a better way? You're not alone, and there absolutely is a solution.

The secret isn't creating more content—it's maximizing what you've already created through strategic repurposing. As a mom entrepreneur who's been podcasting for over four and a half years, I've developed a framework that has saved me countless hours while significantly boosting my visibility online.

This episode breaks down my exact content repurposing system, including the revolutionary "Domino Blueprint" that transforms one video into ten pieces of content with minimal effort. We explore why most people struggle with repurposing (hint: overthinking, perfectionism, and lack of systems) and how to overcome these obstacles. You'll discover why repetition isn't just acceptable but essential—most people only see about 10% of what you share anyway!

Whether you're just starting out or looking to streamline your existing content strategy, you'll walk away with actionable steps to implement immediately. I also share resources to help you audit your time, discover your "why," and access my complete repurposing playbook. The best part? You don't need to be everywhere all the time—you just need to show up strategically.

Ready to reclaim your time while expanding your reach? Grab your free Ultimate Time Audit and Productivity System from the link below, and start implementing the content repurposing strategies from this episode. Your family, your business, and your peace of mind will thank you! Subscribe for more practical business strategies designed specifically for moms building businesses without burning out.

If creating content is eating up all your time (and brain cells), this episode is for you.
Camille breaks down her no-stress strategy for turning ONE idea into 10+ posts—without living online or constantly reinventing the wheel.

You’ll learn:

• Why repurposing is the secret sauce of visibility
• How to turn a podcast or blog into a week of content
• Her favorite tool for making it effortless
• What to say, post, and share—without overthinking it

Ever find yourself exhausted from the social media hamster wheel? That constant pressure to post, engage, and hustle—all while wondering if it's actually growing your business? You're not alone.

Meet Stefanie Gass, a podcast coach and seven-figure CEO who discovered a revolutionary path to business growth: abandoning social media entirely. When Stephanie hit rock bottom in her business, she made a courageous decision to follow a prophetic dream and start a podcast. What happened next defied conventional wisdom. She went completely dark on social platforms for two entire years and watched her business explode into multiple six figures solely through her podcast.

The secret? Understanding the fundamental difference between social media consumption and podcast listening. "Social media marketing doesn't work to grow your business because it's a five-second dopamine hit," Stephanie explains. "People aren't in the posture of learning." Contrast this with podcasting, where listeners deliberately choose to give you 15-30 minutes of their attention while driving, exercising, or completing tasks.

Throughout our conversation, Stefanie breaks down her exact framework for podcast success—from defining your "micro-micro niche" to crafting monetization strategies that match your audience size. Whether you're just starting out or looking to pivot your existing business model, she offers practical pricing benchmarks and validation techniques to build confidence. Most importantly, she shows how podcasting offers mothers the rare opportunity to build substantial businesses without sacrificing family time or falling prey to the constant content documentation trap.

Ready to reclaim your time while creating more impact and income? Stefanie's approach proves there's a better way than the social media hustle. Tune in to discover how long-form content could transform your business just like it did for her thousands of successful students. And if you're inspired to start your own podcast journey, grab Stefanie's free 5-day bootcamp using code CAMILLE at Stefaniegass.com/bootcamp.

Have you ever wondered why all the mindset work in the world sometimes isn't enough to create the success you're seeking? The answer might be simpler – and more profound – than you think.

Kirsten Tyrrel discovered this missing piece after years of entrepreneurial ups and downs. Despite building multiple successful ventures and even reaching millionaire status, she hit emotional roadblocks that mindset tactics alone couldn't overcome. The breakthrough came when she realized success requires more than positive thinking – it demands a genuine emotional connection between mind and body.

"That is the magical key," Kirsten explains, "and it sounds so hokey and woo-woo, but it truly is." She shares how early in her journey, rather than asking for strategies from a successful mentor, she asked what being a millionaire felt like. That embodied feeling became more real than her current circumstances – and within three years, she had manifested her first million.

But the journey wasn't without challenges. After business setbacks and personal tragedy, including her father's unexpected death, Kirsten found herself unable to move forward despite knowing all the right mindset principles. The key to unlocking her progress came through physically processing emotions trapped in her body, not just understanding them intellectually.

This conversation dives deep into practical ways to develop emotional intelligence as an entrepreneur. You'll learn to identify your natural stress response, recognize when old stories are limiting your success, and discover how true freedom comes from healing emotional triggers rather than avoiding them. Kirsten also shares powerful insights for parent entrepreneurs on modeling emotional regulation.

Whether you're building a business while raising a family or seeking more sustainable ways to achieve your goals, this episode illuminates the crucial connection between emotional intelligence and entrepreneurial success. Take Kirsten's quiz at quizkirstentyrrel.com to discover your natural emotional response type and begin your journey toward greater alignment between your mind, body, and business ambitions.

Marketing doesn't have to be a mystery, especially for busy moms building businesses. Sasha Fidenchuk pulls back the curtain on what actually works, sharing insights from her remarkable journey from corporate executive to successful entrepreneur and mother of two.

After building a six-figure spray tan business in just six months, then pivoting during the pandemic, Sasha discovered her true calling: helping other entrepreneurs achieve real growth through strategic marketing. Now as co-founder of Daring House with her husband, she's on a mission to bring big business strategies to small business owners who are changing the world.

Forget pretty logos and websites—they're not enough. The true power lies in understanding your customer data and creating marketing that resonates across channels. Sasha reveals the email marketing secrets that consistently generate 8-12x returns for her clients, including how to craft subject lines that spark curiosity and leverage social proof for maximum conversions. Her approach treats marketing not as isolated tactics but as an interconnected ecosystem that builds relationships before sales.

Beyond business strategy, Sasha offers a refreshing perspective on balancing motherhood and ambition. Like the ocean constantly shifting from tumultuous waves to serene stillness, women can embody fierce leadership and nurturing tenderness within minutes. This duality isn't a weakness but our superpower as entrepreneurial mothers.

Whether you're just starting your business journey or looking to level up your marketing approach, this conversation delivers actionable insights while affirming that you don't have to choose between success and presence with your family. You truly can have both—sometimes within the same five minutes!

Time management isn't just another business skill—it's the cornerstone of thriving as a mom entrepreneur. Drawing from my experience juggling four children, multiple businesses, and the ever-present quest for personal fulfillment, this episode delivers actionable strategies to reclaim control of your schedule.

The game-changing approach we explore isn't about cramming more into each day. Instead, it's about strategic time-blocking that aligns with your natural rhythms and priorities. I share my personal framework: reserving Mondays and Fridays for family and self-care, while dedicating mid-week days to content creation, client work, and team management. This simple shift transforms scattered productivity into purposeful progress.

The MIT Rule (Most Important Tasks) revolutionizes how you approach each day by identifying just three high-impact priorities that deserve your undivided attention. Combined with the Pomodoro Technique and strategic delegation, these methods create breathing room in even the most chaotic schedule. I've helped countless women implement these systems, and the universal response is always: "Why didn't I start this years ago?"

Perhaps most importantly, we tackle the challenging skill of saying "no" without guilt—arguably the most underrated productivity hack for overwhelmed entrepreneurs. Remember that protecting your time isn't selfish; it's essential to showing up fully for what matters most. Which of these strategies will you implement first? Screenshot this episode, share it on Instagram, and tag me @camillewalkerco so I can cheer you on as you take back control of your time!

Episode Highlights:

• Time-blocking strategies for busy moms
• How to prioritize tasks with the 3 MIT Rule
• The power of delegation & automation in your business
• Learning to say NO without guilt
• Free Time & Energy Audit to help you get organized!

When you're the parent of growing children, finding pants that actually fit can feel like an impossible quest. One week they fit perfectly, and the next your child's ankles are suddenly exposed while the waist is swimming. It's a universal parenting frustration that Lauren, founder of Gili Guise, experienced firsthand with her tall, texture-sensitive son.

"I needed something that could get on and off easily, that could adjust with boys as they grow, whether they're tall and lanky or they're a little bit thicker," Lauren explains. After countless shopping trips ending in unworn clothes and wasted money, she took matters into her own hands. Drawing on her determination rather than fashion experience, Lauren designed pants that could extend in both length and waist, starting with a reasonably sized waistband instead of the oversized ones typical in adjustable children's clothing.

The name Gili Guise represents the entire family behind the brand—Greg (G), Indy (I), Lauren (L), and Ireland (I)—reflecting how deeply integrated family is in every aspect of the business. Lauren's children don't just model the clothes; they're actively involved in the design process, offering opinions on colors and patterns. This family-first approach has created clothing that truly works for kids, from the soft, durable denim to the tag-free construction that won't irritate sensitive skin.

Beyond creating practical children's clothing, Lauren has built a brand that empowers mothers to pursue their passions while still prioritizing family. She navigates the delicate balance of entrepreneurship and motherhood by working early mornings, during school hours, and late evenings, always ready to put down her work when her children need attention. "I want my daughter to know that there's opportunity for women to do whatever they want if they have the passion and drive to do it," she shares. Visit giliguise.com to discover clothing that grows with your child and supports a mom-founded business reimagining what children's fashion can be.

Amy Leclerc's journey from the glossy world of New York fashion publishing to franchise co-owner of Sit Still, a revolutionary children's hair salon concept, is a masterclass in career reinvention and entrepreneurial vision.

"I joke that every year it was a different apartment, a different job, a different boyfriend," Amy laughs, painting a vivid picture of her early New York career—a real-life "Devil Wears Prada" experience that taught her invaluable lessons about taking big swings in business. When motherhood brought her back to the Pacific Northwest, she spotted untapped potential during her son's first haircut at a local children's salon called Sit Still. The experience was unlike the primary-colored, cartoon-filled environments typically aimed at children: "Unlike the doctor's office or daycare, it was so cool... there was a retail shop selling Moroccan oil, irreverent t-shirts, temporary tattoos." That moment of discovery planted the seed for her next entrepreneurial chapter.

Drawing from her experience scaling Bar 3 fitness studios from a small operation to over 150 locations nationwide, Amy approached Sit Still's founder with a vision for national expansion. She shares candid insights about what makes franchising work: "Franchising at its best should feel like paint by numbers." This means creating detailed playbooks covering everything from training protocols to bathroom amenities—all the elements that create a consistent brand experience while allowing for local market adaptation.

Perhaps most compelling is Amy's philosophy on reimagining success as a working mother. Describing herself as "unemployable," she's designed a career that allows her to "play around with the Legos that are my schedule" to be present during her children's pivotal moments. "When your kids embark on middle school, high school... that's the time to be present. That is when the stakes are higher." Her story proves that entrepreneurship can create the freedom to align business success with personal values—a powerful reminder that we can design careers that serve our lives rather than the other way around.

Ready to reimagine what success looks like on your own terms? Amy's journey will inspire you to take those big swings while staying true to what matters most.
