My kids came to have lunch with me this week at work. Sometimes as an entrepreneur, business owner and mother I have these moments where I feel like I’m a child playing house and this was one of them. Seeing these bright eyes come through the door in the middle of a busy day totally shifted my nervous system. To all the parents out there running businesses I see you. Running a business is not all that different than parenting, it never stops, it needs constant support and care, it needs to be fed to grow and it’s forever changing. When I first became a mom I felt absolutely rattled to have a sweet baby to tend to while having my work baby also need me. The balance is never perfect but over the years of parenting and my business growing my internal resources have evolved to feel less rattled, to have better support structures around me so that both my home and work lives can thrive and practicing the skill it takes to oscillate my nervous system between my work roll and parenting roll. Both take a village and sometimes a village for a business comes in the form of amazing employees that feel like family, my attorney, book keepers, billers and so many other businesses that help keep ours running.
