Hey Mama,

Whether you're running on caffeine, chaos, or that one glorious hour of silence between bedtime and dishes—you’re doing great.

This week, we’ve got two powerhouse episodes that are all about building community, showing up as your true self, and saying “yes” to dreams even when your plate’s already full.

Let’s dive in 👇

🎧 This Week’s Episodes

📚 Mama’s Got Teacher Tricks Times Two (Monday)
This one’s for every teacher-mama who’s felt torn between the classroom and calling.

Katie and Stacy are two teachers who took their love for education and turned it into businesses that serve outside the classroom. From sensory boxes to educational events, we talked:

  • Pivoting without guilt when your career path changes

  • Finding your real audience through trial and error

  • The power of collaborating with another mom who just gets it

You’ll walk away feeling inspired and a little more seen.

💪 Mama’s Got the Squad Co. (Thursday)
Danielle Donovan, founder of CheerFit, Squad Co., and the Maya Method, didn’t just create a brand—she built a movement.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Building confidence through movement (even with pelvic floor leaks 😅)

  • How Danielle’s community grew as she evolved

  • The difference between an audience and a real-deal community—and why the latter changes everything

This episode is for the multi-passionate mama who’s ready to stop shrinking and start building something bold.

✨ This Week’s Hustle Idea: Create a Local Pop-Up Series

What it is: A monthly or seasonal event in your area that combines your passions (teaching, fitness, crafting, storytelling—you name it) with mom-friendly meetups.

3 Action Steps to Try:

  1. Pick a theme. Think “Mom & Me Movement,” “Sensory Sunday,” or “Storytime & Snacks.”

  2. Secure a low-cost space. Libraries, church basements, and community centers are a great start.

  3. Promote locally. Post in Facebook groups, partner with a small biz, or offer a freebie to attendees.

These small in-person moments can grow into BIG opportunities—just ask Danielle and the teacher duo 😉

💬 Weekly Reminder

“Don’t wait for perfect. Start with purpose.”

That idea tugging at your heart? It’s there for a reason. And you don’t need a logo, launch date, or full plan to get going. Just start. The rest comes.

Sending you coffee-fueled encouragement and business bestie vibes 💕
