In today's episode, I sit down with Jen White, the founder and chief brand strategist of Collective Memory. Jen shares her incredible journey of over two decades as an entrepreneur and discusses the powerful connections between running a business and raising a family. We dive into the concept of moms being the CEOs of their households and explore how the skills we learn as mothers can directly translate into leadership roles in the business world.

We talk about the challenges of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and how making decisions for our families often mirrors the decision-making process in business. Jen, who has older children, offers insights into the different stages of motherhood and reflects on how her experiences have evolved over time.

We also explore the importance of mentorship, both in business and parenting, and how having someone a few steps ahead of you can be an invaluable resource. Jen shares her thoughts on what it means to lead with empathy and understanding, whether at home or in the workplace, and how giving ourselves credit for what we do as mothers can empower us in all aspects of life.

If you’ve ever felt like you're navigating both motherhood and entrepreneurship with uncertainty, this episode will provide you with the perspective and reassurance that you’re not alone. Join us as we explore the parallels between family and business, and how the lessons we learn in one area can inform and strengthen the other.
