Mom Guilt: The Good, The Bad And The Necessary With The Mama Ladder

Motherhood in Hollywood

We've all experienced a form of mom guilt in one way or another. For example, I feel guilty right now for writing this blog post instead of making donuts with Chan or cleaning the house. But I quickly check myself because I realize, I am more than just a mom. I've created something I'm proud of that has grown into a business and you never hear Bill Gates or Elon Musk talk about feeling guilty for working on their business so why do moms in business do this? That's just one of the things we're talking about this week with Crystalee Beck, Co-Founder of The Mama Ladder - a company that empowers mom entrepreneurs to take bold action with BIG heart. Create your own ladder™. They help moms climb after business dreams that fit your family. Crystalee tells me how The Mama Ladder was built with her partner Lynette Evans as a way to help women around the world thrive at the intersection of mamahood and entrepreneurship. They offer one-on-one business mentoring as well as a plan of action to help women ditch the corporate ladder and start building a ladder to success of their choosing. When I started MIH I had no idea what I was doing. I started my podcast as way to connect with other women in my industry and meet new moms. I didn't realize that it would start to grow into a business and a movement. There are many days I feel like I can't keep up with the demands of the machine I've created but I keep pressing forward. I wish I would have had something like The Mama Ladder in my corner from the beginning. They are so proactive about helping mamas in business, that they are offering a High Five Grant to women get their feet off the ground. Crystalee tells me the it's a semi-annual $5,000 business grant empowering mom entrepreneurs to make massive impact. Hosted by The Mama Ladder®, this grant provides economic empowerment for promising mom entrepreneurs to build their business.
