What happens when becoming a mother forces you to question everything you thought success was supposed to look like?
In this episode, I sit down with business strategist Jereshia Hawk for an honest conversation about how pregnancy, grief, and preparing for motherhood completely reshaped the way she approaches business, wealth, and leadership.
Jereshia is known for helping high-earning CEOs scale with precision and intention. She built a seven-figure net worth solely from business profits and was once focused on growth, efficiency, and expansion at all costs. But as she prepared to become a mother, she realized something profound:
The business that helped her succeed would not necessarily be the business that could hold her through motherhood.
Together, Cait and Jereshia explore what it really means to build a business that evolves with your life not one that demands you sacrifice yourself to sustain it.
How preparing for motherhood changed Jereshia's definition of success
Why she intentionally re-engineered her business before having a baby
The emotional and nervous-system capacity required to hold both growth and grief
Why many women scale businesses that can't support their next life season
How identity, visibility, and safety impact messaging and leadership
The unseen grief that surfaces during pregnancy and major life transitions
Why true sustainability means your business must flex with every season
How profit should fund presence, not replace it
What it looks like to scale down strategically without losing momentum
How entrepreneurship can become a vehicle for healing, not just income
