30. Building Mom-Centric Workspaces: The Story of Yalla Childcare w/ Natalie Martin

Today’s episode features Natalie Martin, a seasoned entrepreneur and co-founder of not one, but two remarkable businesses!

Natalie Martin co-founded Yalla Childcare, a unique co-working and childcare space located in San Diego, CA. She is also the co-founder of Rising Tide Social, an inclusive social media marketing agency dedicated to setting business owners and brands apart and making waves in their industry. Alongside her sister Allyson, Natalie is passionate about supporting mothers through their ventures. Yalla Childcare, their latest endeavor, was created to support working families seeking closer connections with their children. Natalie and Allyson aim to address the lack of support for working moms and families within corporate structures by offering a co-working space with onsite childcare—an innovative concept much needed in today’s world.

In today’s conversation, Natalie and I explore the challenges and triumphs faced by working mothers in corporate environments. We discuss Natalie’s personal awakening after becoming a mother for the first time, the unique skills motherhood fosters, the pivotal decision to launch a pioneering childcare workspace (including navigating licensing complexities), Natalie’s ambitious vision for Yalla, and much more.

Natalie offers a candid glimpse into her journey, emphasizing the importance of mindset shifts, mental health, and well-being in entrepreneurship. Tune in to this inspirational episode for insights that will empower you and underscore the vital integration of work and family life!
