What does it really look like to build a business that crosses languages, cultures, and countries — while still having time for family, flexibility, and a full life? 😅

In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Chamberlin, a bilingual certified online business consultant and the founder of My Bilingual VA. Jennifer helps multilingual business owners grow and organize their businesses with practical systems and cultural understanding — and today, she’s sharing how she built her business from the ground up while living just outside Paris.

We talk about the realities of running a cross-border business, the cultural nuances that impact your strategy, and the freedom that comes from creating work that fits around motherhood instead of the other way around.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

* The biggest cultural and language challenges bilingual entrepreneurs face (and how to navigate them gracefully).

* How Jennifer balances life and business while raising her family in France.

* What to know about taxes, laws, and the “right to make a mistake” rule for French entrepreneurs.

* How to manage clients and teams across multiple time zones without losing your mind.

* The surprising benefits of running a bilingual business — and how it can expand your audience and opportunities.

* The mindset shifts that helped Jennifer create flexibility and purpose in her work.
