I originally titled this episode as: What Does it Mean to Be a Mompreneur, How to Define it and Own it.
And that was the plan – at least half part of the show – but you see – Kelsey Humphreys has an incredibly successful show called The Pursuit – where she interviews HIGHLY successful people IN PERSON! Naturally, I had a TON of questions for her about the show but we did manage to talk about defining mompreneurship and how Kelsey balances her life between her hubby, a toddler, and a thriving business toward the end of the show.
Please note that Kelsey is REAL and says it how it is. She doesn’t sugar coat anything and talks openly about her struggles – I highly admire that and hope to be more open about mine as well.
So funny how we met – I stalked the Kelsey for a few months since I first discovered her and completely fell in love with her work and heart. I keep telling everyone that she’s my bestie even though this is the first time we’ve “met”! But since I always watch her videos and her AMAZING show – I feel like we’re ALREADY besties!!! Enjoy the show, mama!
