07. Balancing Acts: Self-Trust, Rest, and the Journey of Motherhood + Business with Ali Caudill

Made for Mothers

Harmonizing relationships, work, and life takes center stage in this episode, echoing the essence of my dear friend Ali, our featured guest. Working alongside Ali, the heart-centered photographer behind our Made for Mothers events and all of Mariah's brands, feels like a genuine business sisterhood.
Ali, a mother of three and a brand photographer at Freebird Imagery, is currently pursuing a graduate degree in therapy. As a creative spirit, she nurtures curiosity, prioritizes rest, honors her body, and consistently embodies authenticity in every role.
Our conversation explores the intricate relationship mothers have with rest, addressing the common guilt associated with it. We delve into creating harmony over the elusive 'balance' and discuss how divorce and financial shifts impact our work.
Ali's recent lesson of embracing self-trust and finding solace in quiet moments is profound. Being present with oneself reveals the subtle 'whispers' guiding us to the next chapter.
Ali's journey unfolds, sharing insights on combating burnout with the art of resting and balancing entrepreneurship with the joys of parenting. This dialogue is a rich exploration of the transformative power of sisterhood.
TLDR: Mariah is obsessively in love with Ali, and this dialogue is a heartfelt and nourishing exploration of alignment, values, integrity, and rest as motherhood and business are intertwined.
