    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.
