Call Me CEO: Moms Building Businesses, a Woman's guide to Balancing it All

Send a text What does it really take to build a profitable business while raising a family—and still like your life? Jennifer joins us with a story that starts in a delivery room and a bakery build-out and grows into a 20-year company she eventually sold. We pull back the curtain on the nine pillars she now uses to help women prioritize profit, protect their time, and grow a business that can thrive without burning them out. We get practical fast: how to price with data instead of emotion, track time to uncover hidden labor, and guard your gross margins so there’s money left for subscriptions, overhead, and your paycheck. Jennifer explains why simplifying offers can unlock growth—like trimming 72 SKUs down to 16—and how a focused niche turns you from forgettable to top-of-mind. You’ll hear the difference between selling “cookies” and selling “gifts,” and how a photographer quadrupled revenue by choosing real estate over everything else. Community becomes a strategy, not a nice-to-have. Jennifer lays out the Fab Five advisory circle—an industry peer, a seasoned mentor, an operator outside your field, a younger spark, and a trusted confidant—so you have wisdom, innovation, and emotional safety on speed dial. On the sales front, we reframe follow-up as care, not pressure, with simple email cadences, value-first touch points, and even handwritten notes that cut through the noise. Along the way we talk boundaries, presence at home, and getting kids involved so the lessons of grit and service become a family legacy. If you’re a mom founder aiming for profit, simplicity, and staying power, this conversation hands you a blueprint: niche clearly, price bravely, follow up consistently, and let your community lift you.

Send us a text Ready to quiet the inner critic and lead with calm, clear compassion? Camille shares seven practical, low-lift rules that help you navigate motherhood, work, and ambition without drowning in guilt. From a relatable parking lot moment of chaos to research-backed reframes, you’ll learn how to shift your self-talk, set humane goals, and build systems that support a kinder day. We start with a perspective flip: imagine your sixty‑year‑old self coaching you through today’s mess with tenderness and wisdom. That lens turns judgment into empathy and opens the door to Rule 1, embracing your uniqueness and learning curve. Then we move into what you can actually control. Let go of outcomes like potty training timelines or teen sleep cycles, and redirect energy toward your choices—your tone, your plan, and your next small step. Camille shows how listing strengths, pairing them with gratitude, and celebrating tiny wins can regulate stress and reinforce progress. You’ll also hear how focused priorities and simple prep rituals make compassion easier to practice. Two or three daily priorities beat a bloated to‑do list, and a five‑minute nightly review reduces morning chaos. We spotlight Kristen Neff’s best‑friend reframe—swap rigid identity statements for kind intentions you can act on today. The result is a realistic, repeatable approach to self-compassion that works in carpools, conference calls, and everything in between. Choose one starting point: name three strengths, schedule two gentle goals, or plan tomorrow in five minutes. Then tell us how it goes. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a softer inner voice, and leave a quick review to help more women find practical tools for a kinder life.

Send us a text Want a calmer home and a lighter heart without adding more to your plate? Camille gets candid about what actually moves the needle for moms who feel stretched thin: taking a real inventory of time, turning down comparison, and writing honest truths that challenge fear. This is a practical, compassionate guide to feeling happier while you raise kids and keep your dreams alive. We start with time, because time tells the truth. Camille shows how to stack joy on chores you already do—podcasts while cooking, music during cleanup, a favorite show in one ear while you manage the dinner rush—so your day feeds you back. She shares the power of a personal joy list and explains why sleep and exercise act like washing machines for your mind, restoring patience and energy when both feel scarce. Bath time becomes a flexible pocket for reading aloud, quick tidying, or quiet listening that lifts your mood without leaving the room. Then we get honest about noise. Social feeds often turn into a loop of comparison that drains confidence and warps perspective. Camille walks through a simple nightly ritual—screens off, counters cleared, candle lit, a timer for family wind-down—that protects your recharge window and recenters gratitude. Finally, she lays out a writing practice to list strengths and name fears on paper, then ask: what else is true? That shift turns guilt into grounded action and models repair for your kids when tempers fray. If you’re craving more flexibility, Camille also shares a path to build a home-based career as a virtual assistant, setting your own schedule and serving clients with skills you already have.

Send us a text A seven-second “mom fail” video, 22 million views, and a brand-new path. Our conversation with Melissa Hughes, founder of Rise Social Media Agency, is a candid look at how authentic storytelling can turn a personal turning point into a clear, magnetic brand. Melissa opens up about a valley season that tested her identity, the unexpected viral clip that launched her into entrepreneurship, and the mindset shifts that helped her lead with purpose while raising confident kids. We dig into why story beats slogans every time. Melissa breaks down psychographics—the beliefs, emotions, and inner shifts behind your milestones—and shows how they create resonance your audience can feel. You’ll hear a powerful case study of a client who moved beyond a generic “unstoppable” message by sharing a pivotal mental health battle, unlocking relevance, booking stages, and a mission that finally made sense. If you’ve ever wondered how to clarify your message, this is the blueprint: define the belief you held, the moment that changed it, and the mission that followed. We also get tactical. Melissa shares her content cadence, how to capture working processes with simple screen recordings, and why hiring for complementary strengths transforms your capacity. At home, she uses clear systems—the “five B’s” routine—to build independence and peace, proving that delegation isn’t lazy parenting; it’s leadership. And we reframe imposter syndrome as a signal you’re expanding into work that fits who you really are when it’s rooted in authenticity. If you’re a mom, creator, or founder ready to evolve without burning out, you’ll walk away with practical steps to focus your offer, say no with confidence, and build a brand that grows because it’s true.

Send us a text A single pricing decision can change the fate of a company—and the families it serves. Camille sits down with Mary Fusillo, CEO of Family Solutions International, to trace her path from ER nurse and ICU leader to fertility entrepreneur who rethought pricing, unbundled services, and built a national program that gives intended parents real choice without losing the human touch. We walk through the evolution of egg donation, from early, limited options to today’s transparent, data-rich matching with deep health histories and video profiles. Mary breaks down who uses donor eggs now—women facing diminished ovarian reserve, single dads, and same-sex couples—and why fresh donor cycles often deliver stronger pregnancy rates than frozen eggs. If you’re career-focused and considering kids later, you’ll get actionable guidance on timelines, realistic success odds, and the true costs of egg freezing, plus how employer benefits can help. For donors, Mary explains safety, physiology, and the ethical guardrails that cap cycles to protect health and genetic diversity. On the business side, Mary shares the hard-won lessons: why being “the cheapest” slowed growth, how a simple whiteboard session revealed the power of raising prices slightly above average, and how unbundling legal, psych, and escrow fees clarified value while improving margins. Cutting credit card fees, automating CRM touchpoints, and keeping interviews personal turned a scrappy startup into a trusted resource. She also opens up about boundaries, timers, and a weekend ritual of real rest that kept her present for her twins and resilient through 18 years of entrepreneurship. If you’re building a service brand or navigating fertility choices, this conversation blends strategy, science, and empathy.
