She shared what the experience taught her about balancing pregnancy and entrepreneurship.
Part of me wondered if it was time to cash out, squirrel away those savings, and figure something else out for the future, but I didn't want to walk away from everything I'd built over the past two and a half years. When I moved through my first trimester battling fatigue, nausea, and a serious energetic shift, I remember doubting whether or not I'd be able to grow my business while attending to my body and baby.
As an entrepreneur, there are many things that have been beneficial to growing my business, but believing in myself is the bedrock upon which I've built my success. The "wait and see" approach works great for some people, but — for anyone who knows what it's like to have a newborn — that strategy isn't going to fly with an infant in the house.
I definitely didn't go through this process alone, and getting help is one of the best decisions I've made.
