The Business Edit® "Is it possible for women to have it all?" My Hot Take
Have you ever felt like you’re constantly chasing an impossible ideal—trying to be an amazing mom, run a thriving business, maintain a fulfilling marriage, stay healthy, and somehow find time for yourself? If so, you’re not alone. The question of whether women can “have it all” is a hot topic, and in this episode of The Business Edit Podcast, I’m sharing my honest take on it. Spoiler alert: my answer might not be what you expect.
This conversation is deeply personal for me. I’ve wrestled with this question for years—long before I became a mom—but especially now, in this season of life. There’s so much conflicting messaging out there. On one hand, we’re told we can (and should) do it all. On the other, we hear that something has to give, and we have to choose between our personal and professional lives. Neither perspective has ever fully resonated with me, and I’ve spent a lot of time processing where I land on this.
In this episode, I’m sharing a more sustainable way to think about balance, trade-offs, and building a fulfilling life that aligns with your values and current season.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at both business and motherhood, or if you’re tired of feeling like you need to do more to keep up, this episode is for you. I hope you walk away with clarity, encouragement, and practical steps to redefine success on your terms. Tune in now to The Business Edit Podcast for this candid and honest take on what it really means to "have it all"!
