Episode 33: Denise Only Hires Moms I caught a bit of flack in my circles for how I hired in my mortgage business. "Denise is the woman who only hires moms." Here's the truth. I hired the people who applied and the people who fit the roles. Capable. Experienced. Coachable. Invested in the business and the clients. Many of them happened to be mothers. There is often a stigma around hiring someone with kids. Concerns about sick days, divided attention, and flexibility meaning less commitment. What I saw was the opposite. When work fit their life, people showed up, cared deeply, and did exceptional work. That belief came from my own experience. It's why I left healthcare and why I built my business differently. I wasn't looking for "less committed" employees. I was looking for the right ones. This conversation challenges how we define reliability, loyalty, and value at work and why being more flexible with hours doesn't weaken a business, it helps attract happier, stronger, better employees.
