In this final episode of the ‘Babyproofing Your Business” min-series Lauren joins us for her 8-week postnatal update withnew  baby, Kit, and we are also joined by Rebecca Tracey — founder and business coach at Uncage Your Business, and fellow new mama — for an honest, warm, and wildly relatable conversation about what it’s really like to run a business while navigating new motherhood.

This is the conversation we wish someone had with us before the baby arrived (and the one we needed in the thick of it). Whether you’re a new parent, planning to become one, or just want to understand what your entrepreneur friends with babies are actually going through — this one’s for you.

In This Episode, We Cover:

Matrescence — the profound metamorphosis that happens when you become a mother. It’s not just a lifestyle adjustment; it’s an identity shift. Lauren and Becca share what that transformation has looked and felt like for each of them in the early weeks.

Support — what support looks like in practice, what both Lauren and Becca wish they’d had, and how the people around new parent-entrepreneurs can actually show up in helpful (not just well-meaning) ways.

How Does ANY Work Get Done?! — yes, this is a real and panicked question Lauren Voxered Becca, and they answer it honestly here. Spoiler: it’s messy, non-linear, and that’s okay.

Life Balance for Lifestyle Business Owners — many of us built our businesses specifically around the freedom to live life on our own terms. So what happens when life gets bigger and more demanding than you planned for? Lauren and Becca dig into what “balance” actually means now.

A Note from Us

We accidentally cut the outro short, so this episode ends a bit abruptly — consider it a very fitting metaphor for new motherhood. Thanks for understanding!
