The Power of Inclusion: How to Run a Business While Making Your Child Feel Like a Priority
Making your child feel like a priority doesn’t mean putting your business on hold, it means showing them they’re part of the journey. By including them in your work, you’re building memories, connection, and confidence. Discover creative ways to make your child feel like a priority while running a business. Build connections and teach valuable life skills.
As a mom entrepreneur, you want your child to know they matter just as much as your career. Balancing work and parenting isn’t about choosing one over the other, it’s about finding creative ways to integrate them. Including your child in small aspects of your work doesn’t just make them feel valued; it also gives them a front-row seat to your leadership. Let’s explore how to build connections and teach life skills while running a thriving business.
Why This Matters:
Build Connection: When kids feel included, they feel seen and loved.
Teaches Life Skills: Involving your child gives them insight into work ethics, communication, and decision-making.
Models Balance: You show your child that it’s possible to pursue dreams without sacrificing family values.
How to Include Your Child in Your Business Life:
Mini “Work Buddies”: Give them age-appropriate tasks, like organizing papers or helping package products.
Brainstorm Together: Ask for their opinions on simple decisions, like logo designs or social media posts.
Celebrate Milestones: Include them in moments of success, like ringing a bell for a new client or sharing gratitude after a big win.
Teach Responsibility: Create a “business play corner” where they can pretend to run their own business alongside you.
Activity: Kid-Friendly Vision Boards
This week, set up a family craft night to create vision boards. You create yours for your business while they make one for their own dreams. Discuss how your goals align and inspire each other.
Making your child feel like a priority doesn’t mean putting your business on hold, it means showing them they’re part of the journey. By including them in your work, you’re building memories, connection, and confidence.

A New Year and a Mom’s Guide to Sustainable Energy
It is the start of a new year, so let’s learn strategies to break the burnout cycle before it even starts! By prioritizing sustainable energy practices, you can create a life where balance, not burnout, becomes your norm.
Burnout isn’t just a workplace buzzword; it’s an all-too-familiar feeling for moms juggling work, family, and health. But here’s the thing, burnout doesn’t have to be your baseline, especially at the start of a whole new year. By making small shifts in how you manage your energy, you can create a sustainable rhythm that keeps you thriving throughout the rest of 2025!
Why Burnout Happens:
Overcommitment: You say yes to everything, leaving no time for yourself.
Neglecting Health: Skipping meals, cutting sleep, or over-caffeinating to get through the day.
Lack of Balance: Giving 100% to work and family without reserving energy for your own needs.
Steps to Break the Burnout Cycle:
Say Yes to Help: Whether it’s delegating tasks at work or asking your partner to handle bedtime, learn to share the load.
Reclaim Your Midday Break: Use lunch as a time to rest, refuel, and reset instead of multitasking.
Prioritize Sleep Hygiene: Create a calming pre-sleep routine that includes stretching, reading, or journaling.
Weekly Activity: Burnout Reset Ritual
Choose one 30-minute block this week to dedicate entirely to yourself. Do something restorative, like a walk, a yoga flow, or a nap. Notice how it impacts your overall mood and energy.
Burnout doesn’t make you a better mom or professional; it just depletes your ability to show up fully. By prioritizing sustainable energy practices, you can create a life where balance, not burnout, becomes your norm.
