What if building a business didn’t mean climbing the corporate ladder, but creating one that actually fits your life as a mom?

In this special throwback episode, I’m joined by Crystalee Beck — mom of four, serial entrepreneur, and founder of The Mama Ladder and Comma Copywriters. Crystalee has been paving the way for women at the intersection of motherhood and entrepreneurship, showing us what it looks like to grow thriving companies while honoring our values, families, and energy.

Her wisdom in this conversation sparked more emails and DMs from listeners than any other episode I’ve recorded — and for good reason. Crystalee is transparent, practical, and deeply inspiring.

We talk about:
✨ How she built two businesses from scratch while raising little ones
✨ The hard but powerful decision to pause her passion project during COVID
✨ What it looks like to design a “life first” business and team culture
✨ Why protecting your time and energy is the most sustainable growth strategy
✨ The story behind The High Five Grant for Moms and how you can apply

Whether you’re just starting your business with babies at home or you’re ready to scale with intention, this conversation will encourage you to step into your own version of success.

🎧 Listen in — and if you’re a mom with a business who’s made at least $10K in revenue, apply for the High Five Grant at https://themamaladder.com/grant. Applications are open through September 30, 2025!
