Business Like a Mother

Jen Morris

Business Like a Mother is the podcast for mothers building businesses on their own terms complete with real strategy, radical honesty, and the conversations no one else is having. You're building a business while raising kids, running a household, and navigating systems that were never designed with you in mind. The childcare situation is impossible, the mental load is invisible, and the systems? Built by people who clearly never had to pack three different snacks for one kid. We're not here to just survive it: we're here to burn down the patriarchy one business at a time. Hey, I’m Jen Morris, mom of 2, entrepreneur and business coach for moms. I got tired of podcasts and business communities that don’t take the reality of motherhood into account, so I decided to create what I needed.  Every episode goes into the real messiness of building a business while raising a family. Tune in for coaching calls with entrepreneurial moms building in real time, guest conversations about what's working and what’s a dumpster fire, and solo episodes where I pull back the curtain on the reality of doing business like a mother. If you're done waiting for permission, done pretending this juggle isn’t hard AF and done doing it alone, then go ahead and reheat your coffee for the fifth time and tune in.

    The Oldest Marketing Strategy Nobody Talks About with Casey Lightbody

    Casey Lightbody spent two decades in marketing — corporate, agency, the whole circus — before burning it all down at her desk one afternoon and asking herself what the point was. She rebuilt from scratch as The Quiet Collective, and what she built it on wasn't social media or funnels or ads. It was relationships. She's an introvert, a self-proclaimed boy mum, and someone who believes hard that partnership-based marketing is the oldest and most effective growth strategy in business...and the one most people completely ignore because it's not visible enough to screenshot. In this episode she walks through her Quiet Conquer Code framework for building a real partnership strategy: how to find the right partners what to offer when you have a tiny audience why referrals are actually at the bottom of the partnership funnel and how to build what she calls a "pinging strategy" that turns small threads of connection into a sturdy rope over time. She also shares the story of the summit that brought in 4,000 people and made zero sales — and what she learned from it. We get into the AI trust dilution problem, why women turn their businesses into charities before they become profitable, and what a 15-minute time audit revealed about how she was actually spending her week. You should listen if: You've hosted an event, a summit, or a collaboration and walked away wondering why it didn't convert — Casey explains exactly why that happens and how to fix it You're an introvert who keeps being told to go live every day and you're starting to hate your business because of it You've never thought about partnership marketing as a real growth strategy, or you have but you don't think you have a big enough audience to make it worth anyone's time (she busts that myth hard — she had Amy Porterfield as her first keynote with about 100 people on her list) GRAB CASEY'S FREE GUIDE: 13 Timeless Yet Overlooked Marketing Strategies to Consistently Generate High Quality Leads and Stabilize Revenue (All Without Posting Daily or Hoping the Algorithm's in a Good Mood) Get it HERE.

    You Built the Business - Now Pay Yourself with Ebonee Slater

    This episode contains discussion of pregnancy loss, infertility, and a health crisis. If you are struggling, please reach out to a licensed therapist or mental health professional. Ebonee Slater never wanted kids. Then she met her husband at 35, lost a pregnancy, and spent the next eight years and eight rounds of IVF to have her daughter Blessing at 43. She also built a multimillion dollar real estate firm, survived being laid off from a Big Four consulting executive role while on her first maternity leave, and burned out so hard it put her in the hospital. What came out of all of it is FounderPay — a system that helps mom entrepreneurs build a business they can reliably bet on, starting with actually paying themselves. In this episode we get into the layoff that lit the fire, the burnout that forced a reset, her P.A.I.D. framework for getting off the revenue roller coaster in 90 minutes, why paying herself literally saved her marriage, and what she wants every exhausted underpaid mom in business to know right now. You should listen if: You're running a business but have never written yourself a consistent paycheck and you know it's a problem You've been laid off, pushed out, or just done with corporate and you're figuring out what's next You want to hear someone who has been through it all and come out the other side still building, still fighting, still unapologetic Take Ebonee's free FounderPay Gap Diagnostic — five questions, one honest reflection of whether your business feels dependable enough to support your life, and the right next step from there: https://founderpay.co/#diagnostic I'm also opening up free coaching spots on the show. If you've got a story you're telling yourself that's keeping you stuck, or you just need some fresh eyes on your business, apply HERE and we'll work through it live. New episodes every Thursday. If this resonated, leave a five-star review and share it with a fellow renegade who needs to hear it.
