    78: Motherhood, Business & Raising Confident Kids | A Conversation With My Son Emilio

    This episode feels extra special to me. ❤️ For Mother’s Day, I sat down with my 10-year-old son Emilio for a real, unfiltered conversation about life, business, confidence, social media, homeschooling, and what it’s actually like growing up with a mum building a business online. And honestly… some of his answers stopped me in my tracks. We spoke about everything from showing up authentically online, to chasing big dreams, handling fear, taking risks, and why being yourself matters more than trying to be perfect. Emilio shares his thoughts on confidence, happiness, kindness, business ideas, and what he’s learnt watching me build a life and business on purpose while navigating motherhood, co-parenting, and entrepreneurship. This conversation is for the beauty business owner juggling all the hats. The mum trying to grow something meaningful while raising good humans. The woman learning that success isn’t just about bookings or followers… it’s about the life you’re creating behind the scenes too. Inside this episode we chat about: ✨ What kids really notice when they watch us build a business ✨ Confidence, courage, and being yourself online ✨ Homeschooling, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking ✨ Social media through the eyes of a 10-year-old ✨ Balancing motherhood, business, and real life ✨ Why authenticity will always connect deeper than perfection This episode is funny, emotional, honest, and a beautiful reminder that the little people watching us are learning far more from who we are than what we say. I hope this conversation reminds you that you don’t have to do life, business, motherhood, or visibility perfectly to make an impact. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is simply show up as yourself. 💛
