    297: From Mom Problem to Thriving Business: Building a Babysitting Agency with Beth Heyer

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when a mom loses her support system after moving across the country? For Beth Heyer, it sparked the creation of an entire business designed to help families find reliable childcare. In this episode of Call Me CEO, Camille Walker sits down with Beth Heyer, the founder of Babysitter Connections, a fast-growing babysitting agency operating across Texas and Ohio. Beth shares how her background in corporate recruiting unexpectedly prepared her to build a network of 280 vetted sitters and facilitate more than 75,000 babysitting bookings. Beth opens up about the early days of entrepreneurship—launching the business just six weeks before COVID, working long hours while raising four kids, and learning the importance of hiring help sooner rather than later. The conversation also explores an interesting mindset shift: Beth doesn’t naturally identify with the title “CEO,” preferring to call herself the owner and founder. Camille challenges that belief and explores what it truly means to lead a growing company while navigating motherhood. If you’ve ever wondered how to build a service-based business that truly solves a problem—or how to maintain strong boundaries with clients while scaling—this episode is full of real-world insights.

    295: From Burnout To Alignment For Mother Led Businesses

    Send us Fan Mail In this podcast interview, Camille Walker speaks with Bron Watson, owner of The Social Coach marketing agency and founder of The Serenity Project, focusing on her journey as a business owner, mother, and cancer survivor. The discussion centers on Bron's transition from a high-pressure, hustle-driven business mindset to one of alignment, resilience, and self-care, prompted by her experiences with breast cancer and later an incurable blood cancer diagnosis. Bron shares how these health challenges forced her to reevaluate her approach to business, emphasizing the importance of slowing down, setting boundaries, and building a business around personal values—specifically, healing. She describes the Serenity Project as a resource bridging science and soul for those affected by cancer, and highlights the value of surrounding oneself with experts and letting go of the need to control every aspect of business. Both speakers discuss the power of journaling for emotional awareness and resilience, and Bron provides practical advice on maintaining boundaries, focusing on 'what's next,' and aligning business decisions with core personal priorities. The conversation concludes with Bron inviting listeners to connect via her website and podcast, and both women affirming the importance of collaboration and supporting women in business and healing.
