Hey Mama,

You know those moments where you’re juggling a snack cup, a dream, and your sanity—all before 9 a.m.? Yeah, same. This week’s episodes are for the mamas deep in the mess and magic of motherhood who still feel a fire to build something beautiful.

Let’s get into it 👇

🎙️ Episode Drop #1: Mama’s Got Slumberkins

with Callie Christensen & Kelly Oriard

What started as a shared dream between two best friends (and teacher/ therapist!) turned into an emotionally intelligent empire that now lives on bookshelves, toy chests, and classroom carpets around the world.

Slumberkins isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement. In this episode, we dive deep into:

💬 Building a business while raising babies
💬 Protecting your values while scaling big
💬 Dealing with copycats, licensing wins, and the pressures of visibility
💬 Why starting small with big heart matters more than going viral

If you’ve ever wondered how to grow a soulful brand without losing yourself in the hustle, this one is a must.

🎙️ Episode Drop #2: Mama’s Got Little Bean Adventures

with Amanda from Little Bean Adventures

Amanda was exhausted from the 9-5 grind in the medical field when inspiration struck—in the form of a soft play setup at a kid’s birthday party. Two years later? She’s the founder of Little Bean Adventures, a thriving soft play rental biz that lets her show up for her daughter and herself.

In this episode, we talk about:

🛝 Turning burnout into a brilliant business
🛝 The power of community (hello, Facebook moms!)
🛝 Building flexible income with kids by your side
🛝 Finding courage when you have zero clue what you’re doing (relatable?)

Amanda’s story proves that even if your garage is overflowing with foam pieces and ball pit balls—you can create a life that works for your family and your joy.

💡 This Week’s Hustle Idea: Start a Soft Play Rental Biz

Got creativity, a garage, and a little grit? You might just be sitting on your next side hustle.

3 Action Steps to Get Started:

  1. Research the Market: Search “soft play rentals” in your area. If there’s room to shine, you’ve got a green light.

  2. Source Smart: Look for modular pieces you can swap colors on to keep overhead low.

  3. Use Facebook + Instagram: Local mom groups and photo-worthy setups = booking magic.

You don’t have to go viral.
You just have to go for it.
You were made for more—and I’m so glad you’re here.
