In The Mamahood

Mamahood & Co

Building a business doesn’t happen separately from motherhood. It happens in the middle of it. In The Mamahood is the podcast from Mamahood & Co. for moms who want to start and grow businesses while making room for the life and family they love. Hosted by founder and mom Dominique Johnson, each episode brings honest conversations, practical business guidance, and lessons from moms doing the work alongside you. We talk about choosing a business idea, finding customers, sharing what you sell, and making progress when your available work time changes. You’ll also hear about the fear of putting yourself out there, the disappointment of things not going as planned, and the relationships that help you keep building. Our conversations are rooted in Christian faith and the realities of motherhood. From interrupted workdays to changing priorities, we explore how to pursue the work you feel called to build in the life you’re actually living. Whether you have an idea you’re ready to pursue or an existing business that needs direction, there’s room for you here. Need a starting point?

    From MOM to CEO: What if no one shows up?

    What happens when posting content feels easy but asking someone to actually pay for what you’ve created suddenly makes you question everything? In Part Two of From MOM to CEO, I am opening up about where I really am in building Mamahood & Co.: I’m afraid of failing. After years of building the brand in my head and on paper, I am preparing to launch something I have dreamed about for a long time: The Mama Collab Experience, along with Mamahood & Co. merchandise. And putting an idea into the world where people can buy, register, show up, or choose not to, has exposed fears that creating content never did. This isn’t the story after the successful launch. It’s the story right before it. In this episode: ​Why creating content can feel safer than selling​How fear can disguise itself as planning, perfectionism and “I’m not ready”​The fear of creating something nobody buys​Why I have kept one of my biggest business ideas quiet​Preparing to launch The Mama Collab Experience​Learning to separate a business result from my identity​Why an imperfect launch can still give me valuable information​The difference between giving myself compassion and giving myself an excuse​What I am committing to do next 📖 DIARY OF A MOM This month, I take you behind the business and into my actual life: potty training a toddler, preparing for my youngest daughter’s first birthday, recovering from weeks of being sick, planning for the holidays, working out, creating content, running a business and nonprofit, grocery shopping, making meals. And trying to launch something new in the middle of all of it. From MOM to CEO isn’t only about becoming a CEO. It’s about the motherhood happening while I am becoming one. 💖 A Free Resource for the Mom Building a Business Download: 5 Truths Every Mom Building a Business Needs to Hear About Embracing Who She Is Without Choosing Which Part of Herself Gets to Exist https://themamahoodandco.kit.com/59be3854fd?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZnRzaAUwnAVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mAmZkaWQWUPv7fczDuXW1HZQugPSgiHevxHgCU3NydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABp9gJLNcaoQt8YDpOrEEINmN89lqZKNfGzIFmPLT_mJGILGHhk8SJ8PcHHAsP_aem_a0K-Au9SX262yMH6q3uuXg 🤎 Want to Share Your Story?

    What is “later” costing you?

    “Maybe later.” What is this for you? Is it when the kids are older, life slows down, you have more money, or when finally have more time. But what happens when “later” turns into years? In this month’s Mompreneur Reset, I am talking to the mom who still has the dream, but keeps wondering whether this is really the season to pursue it. Let’s put the hustling to the side for now. It’s about recognizing the difference between adjusting your pace and indefinitely postponing the things that matter to you. Because your family and your responsibilities matter. And you matter in the life you’re building, too. In this episode, I talk about: ​Why “later” can sound responsible while becoming indefinite​The difference between slowing down and giving up on something you still want​Why someone else’s timeline doesn’t have to become yours​How to think beyond business goals and consider the life you’re actually trying to create​What waiting may be costing you​How to pursue a dream within the reality of your current season​Why being surrounded by other moms doing hard things matters​ ☕ Sip Your Tea & Sit With It This month’s reset question: What is one thing you’ve been putting in the “later” category that you still want? Then ask yourself: What would moving it from LATER to STARTED look like this month? It doesn’t have to be big. One step counts. 💖 Take Your Mompreneur Reset Further Download the free Mompreneur Reset Guide and give yourself some space to think about your mindset, energy, priorities, family, business, and what you need in this season.
