Being an entrepreneur while being a single mom is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.
People see the business. They see you showing up, answering the phone, getting the job done, taking care of clients and keeping everything moving.
What they don’t always see is everything happening behind the scenes.
Being there for your kids. Cooking. Cleaning. Paying the bills. Keeping a home together. Making decisions when you’re exhausted. Carrying things emotionally that nobody else even knows about. And then waking up the next day and still having to show up for your business like nothing is wrong.
There is no one else to pick up the slack.
And honestly, I don’t always know how to balance it all. Some days I feel like I’m doing an amazing job, and other days I feel like I’m barely keeping my head above water.
But I keep showing up.
So if you’re dealing with a small business owner, I hope you remember there is a human being behind that business. Someone who may be carrying a hell of a lot more than you realize.
A little compassion. A little patience. A little empathy. And sometimes just some straight-up kindness can mean more than you’ll ever know.
I’m proud of what I’ve built, but I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t come at a cost.
I’m still learning how to be a mom, run a business, take care of everyone, and somehow remember to take care of myself too.
I don’t have the balance figured out.
I’m just doing the best I can with what I have—and some days, that has to be enough.
I appreciate those. I have loved us through my hardships and accomplishments. I’d be nothing without you.💕
