Cassie- Impact Kind ,

Thank you for being an inspiration for mom entrepreneurs!

First, I want to thank you for creating a podcast to help mothers find balance in their lives. I was once a stay-at-home mom that recently transistioned into the business world. The Working Mother's Mentor helped motivate me to make this change.

Yes

There’s not too many working moms podcasts that I’ve found to be really helpful but this one is actually beneficial...the interviewer is authentic/ real and the guests she brings on are relevant enough for me to keep listening.
