The Mami Collective

Paulina Roe

The Mami Collective is a podcast for ambitious moms navigating motherhood, work, money, and identity without guilt, shame, or sugarcoating. Hosted by radio personality and mom Paulina Roe, this show is real talk for women who refuse to disappear inside motherhood. We talk about what actually happens after the baby arrives: the career shifts, the identity cracks, the ambition that doesn’t go away, and the pressure to be everything to everyone. This podcast is for working moms, entrepreneurial moms, creative moms, and moms who want more—more clarity, more agency, more honesty—without apologizing for it. Each week, The Mami Collective features unfiltered conversations with moms, founders, creators, and culture-shapers who are building lives that work for them. Women who are setting boundaries, unlearning people-pleasing, navigating money and power, and redefining success on their own terms. We talk about the things moms are actually dealing with: Burnout, mental load, and nervous system overloadIdentity loss (and rebuilding yourself after kids)Money, ambition, and career growth in motherhoodBoundaries, self-worth, and saying no without guiltChoosing yourself without apology This is not a “perfect mom” podcast. This is not advice wrapped in clichés. And it’s definitely not about shrinking yourself for the sake of motherhood. The Mami Collective is a space for honesty, clarity, and support, without judgment. Every episode is designed to leave you feeling seen, validated, and more grounded in who you are and where you’re going. If you’re navigating motherhood and ambition, rebuilding your identity after kids, or tired of spaces that tell moms to sacrifice everything-you’re in the right place. New episodes drop weekly.

    How To Build a Multi-Business Empire with Paulina Bachleda-Kubanska

    Birthday girl energy was absolutely in the building for this one. This week on The Mami Collective, your host Paulina sits down with her name twin — the iconic, magenta-haired Paulina Bachleda-Kubanska — and honestly, the universe knew what it was doing when it brought these two together. Paulina B. came to the United States from Poland at 16 with zero English and zero roadmap — and turned that into a full-on empire. We're talking a tax preparation company, a real estate license, a mortgage loan officer license, and a cleaning business she literally purchased twice. Oh, and she does it all as a mama to her three-year-old daughter. In this episode, we get into: Why saying YES to everything almost broke her — and the 7 years it took to learn that lessonHow she built unshakeable client trust by not being motivated by moneyThe one-stop-shop business model and why expanding your services is a power moveOutsourcing, systems, and building a team so you don't lose your mind (or your marriage)Raising an only child who doesn't throw tantrums in the toy aisle — and yes, she's taking studentsHer dad's advice that changed everything: "What if it does work out?" This episode is for every woman who's been told to play it safe, every immigrant woman who figured it out anyway, and every entrepreneur wondering if they can really do it all. Spoiler: you can't do it alone — but you can do it. No balance. No BS. Just real talk. 🔗 Follow Paulina B: Taxes: Maram Company (Lyons/Berwyn area)Cleaning: Deluxe Maids of Illinois
