016: Brooke Allen & Heather Lovato Finding Your Rhythm: Strategies for Mompreneurs

Published: Sept. 4, 2019, 8:30 a.m.

Brooke reflects on what it means to \u201chave it all.\u201d It took a dedicated husband, a sweet baby boy, a professional transition (and big leap of faith) to realize she is creating a life she loves. That doesn\u2019t mean she has it 100% together - far from it on most days - but through the ups and downs she is finding her footing as a wife, a mother and a business owner. Brooke loves spending time with her family, a glass of red wine with her girls (or alone), snuggles with her 2 year old boy and has a weird obsession with finding information online (friends affectionately call her \u201ccyberstalker\u201d). No one is safe but your secrets are safe with her. Brooke is anxious yet excited to share her world with you. Overcoming the fear of \u201cwhy will people care\u201d and letting her guard down is already the best part of this journey.\nWhen your dreams come true you think you\u2019d have it all figured out, right? Heather started a successful conscious creative agency called clover PR over 6 years ago, married the man of her dreams and then they had the cutest, chunkiest, delicious little boy... but nothing is quite figured out. Some days she is acing life, living out her perfect Pinterest board fantasies. Other days if everyone is alive and mostly happy it\u2019s a win. So, naturally adding a new project to the mix made total sense, but in all honestly she thrives most when her cup runs a little over. Heather loves being creative, coffee + morning walks with her family, attending anything with a theme and sarcasm is her true love language. She has always dreamed of sharing her thoughts with the masses one day -- even if only for her own therapy. As most creative visions begin, S\u014dlspace was an idea floating around her head for a while (like 8+ years when Brooke + Heather did their first photoshoot for their \u201cblog\u201d), so she\u2019s pretty excited to get this brain baby out there. #Ding #Itisbaked\n\xa0\nMeet My Guest:\n\nWEBSITE: SoloSpace.co\n\n\nINSTAGRAM: @solospace.co\n\n\nFACEBOOK: @solospaceco\n\n\nPODCAST: A Space for Sol\n\n\nShow Notes:\n\n01:40 - Introductions\n\n06:20 - Cofounding history\n\n14:56\xa0- Starting the business out of a need you feel personal about\n\n18:33 - Bringing people together\n\n21:40 - "If you're trying to conquer the world, you're going to need help"\n\n22:11 - Time blocking\n\n29:40 - Organization\n\n38:59 - Defining your non-negotiables\n\n44:41 - Mom Haul\n\n47:07 - Quote of the day\n\nMom Haul:\n\nAMAZON: Light Reflecting Glasses\n\n\nAMAZON: Lunya Sleep Mask\n\nAMAZON: MomWasher Perineal Recovery After Bath\n\n\nAMAZON: Dermoplast Spray\n\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
