    The Acquisition Story - Selling a Business You Still Love with Tess Robinson

    What happens when the business you’ve built for 15 years is ready for a new owner, and the right person is already in your orbit? For my first-ever in-person episode of Behind The Fold, I’m sitting down with Tess Robinson, founder of Smack Bang and co-founder of Land Lab, to share some very big news: I’ve officially acquired Smack Bang. We talk about selling a business you still love, stepping into someone else’s legacy, and trusting that your vision is allowed to evolve as your life does. Here’s what we cover: 03:10 – Why Tess always intended to sell Smack Bang and how she knew the timing was finally right10:04 – How she found her successor (me!) and why I said yes immediately20:35 – What it really feels like to step into a business you didn’t build, including what to protect and what to optimize32:29 – How 15 years of building Smack Bang shaped Land Lab43:02 – Why “bigger is better” stopped being the goal, and the importance of redefining success as you growThis conversation is a reminder that evolving your vision doesn’t mean abandoning everything you’ve built. Sometimes the next chapter means trusting someone else to carry something forward while you create space for what’s calling you next.  Episode Mentioned: Motherhood, Mentorship & the Magic of Starting Again with Tess Robinson Connect with Tess: Instagram: @tess__robinson / @smackbang.co / @land.lab.co Website: www.smackbang.co/ Let's Connect!

    The Default Parent Problem (When You're Both Founders)

    In this solo episode of Behind the Fold, I'm opening up about life inside a dual-entrepreneur household with two young kids and two businesses. Grateful? Absolutely. But the reality is messier than it looks on paper. Here's what I dive into: 03:29 – Why having two ambitious entrepreneurs in one household doesn't automatically mean equal labor08:53 – Learning to recognize each other's capacity, and how that's shifting the way we share the load13:47 – Why I've stopped waiting for permission to ask for support, and how paid help creates capacity instead of us both just doing more15:53 – Why pushing past my perceived limits feels worth it, and how the freedom I'm building makes it sustainableI also give you a preview of the big business announcement coming next week.  If you're navigating motherhood, business, and a tested capacity, I hope my messy middle reminds you that balance doesn't need to be perfect.

    Five Nights Offline: What I Learned When I Finally Stepped Away

    In today’s episode of Behind the Fold, I’m sharing what five nights offline at Gwinganna Retreat & Spa taught me about burnout, self-care, and the pace I’ve been keeping as a mother and business owner. What began as an unexpected wellness retreat became a deeper reset.

    What 11 Years in Business Actually Taught Me About Leadership

    In today’s episode of Behind the Fold, I’m reflecting on 11 years in business and the leadership lessons that have reshaped not just how I run my company, but how I protect my energy and focus. After opening up about my recent experience with burnout, I’m also sharing why I’m stepping away for a solo wellness retreat and why creating space might be one of the smartest business decisions you can make. Here’s what I dive into: 06:55 – Why trying to be everything to everyone limits your growth, and how letting go of control creates more capacity to lead.11:35 – The mindset shift that helped me stop waiting for the “right time” to hire, and why building the right team starts long before you feel ready.16:15 – The simple reframe that made delegation easier, helped me reclaim hours I didn’t realize I was losing, and freed me up to grow the business instead of just keeping it running.21:40 – Why some of your biggest breakthroughs happen away from your desk, and how giving yourself room to think can unlock your next level of growth.I hope this episode reminds you that building a successful business isn’t about doing more. It’s about leading with intention, clarity, and the right support around you. If you know someone trying to do it all alone, send this their way.

    The Quiet Burnout: How to Spot It Before You Crash

    In today's episode of Behind the Fold, I'm talking about burnout. Not the dramatic kind, but the quiet kind that slowly builds until everything feels heavier.

    Who Were You Before the Titles?

    In today's episode of Behind the Fold, I'm reflecting on who we are outside of our titles. So many of us pour ourselves into motherhood, careers, and relationships, only to realize we've lost touch with the person underneath. As I navigate my own growth journey, I've been questioning how much of my identity has become tied to what I do instead of who I am. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and reconnect. Here's what I cover: 04:47 - How motherhood, business, and career can blur the line between what you do and who you are07:09 - Why constantly showing up for everyone else can disconnect you from your own needs, and why high-achieving women often lose access to themselves in the process09:25 - What self-rediscovery actually looks like13:05 - Simple ways to reconnect with the parts of you that exist beyond your titles, including protecting one thing that's just for youThe roles we hold will evolve. Kids grow up. Businesses pivot. Share this episode with a friend who might need reminding too.
