"It's not too late to find a loving family for him" A friend said to me mere weeks before my due date. Days before my baby shower.
​
Why? Because when she asked if I was excited, I said "No, I can wait"
​
I was shocked this was her initial response. 😱 Can you believe this Reader?
​
Naturally, my situation as a single mother is not ideal. I never thought this would be me and I shamefully cringe at myself using those words even thought I know I shouldn't. But it's normal (I hope) to be daunted by the idea of becoming a mother and being OK with time to yourself before your world changes forever right?!
​
At no point have I ever thought about not being his Mum. I was just happy to stay pregnant a little bit longer and have some more time for me and tying up loose ends in my business before he arrived.
​
Today's episode if for all the Mum's (or Mom's for the North American's) in the audience trying to balance growing a business and raise little ones.
​
It's also for anyone interested in running retreats as part of their business model. Claudia from HolyMama is a genius retreat host who's carved a unique niche in the industry by running retreats specifically for Mum's and children. Navigating the logistics of that alone requires incredible event organization skills!

I loved this conversation with Claudia as I prepared myself for motherhood. She's such an inspiration and it's clear she's here to help lift Mama's up.
​
I think her business model is such a neat idea considering everyone tells you travel is over when you become a Mum, especially a single Mum but I choose NOT to believe them and Claudia is living proof of that!
​
After you listen hit reply and let me know your thoughts, would you like to attend a retreat with your children? Would you like to host an event with children?

All the best,
