In this insightful (and relatable!) episode of the EmpowerMoms Podcast, Alex and Chauntelle dive into the natural connection between motherhood and leadership—and how managing a family often feels a lot like managing a business. From negotiating with toddlers to balancing schedules and handling unexpected curveballs, moms are building real-world leadership skills every single day.
The conversation gets real about the chaos of summer—when routines go out the window, camps, family activities, and business demands collide—and how moms can embrace their role as leaders both at home and at work. Whether you’re a business owner, navigating a side hustle, or leading your household, this episode is packed with encouragement, practical reminders, and a little humour about the reality of mom life.
