For Podcast Junkies

January 14, 2021 by ekraebber

I am so excited to share this news with my community.

I love a good podcast. I pretty much tune in to all kinds of different podcasts. It’s to the point where I never even listen to the satellite radio unless the kiddos are in the car. From true crime to business advice to professional development, I subscribe to a wide variety.

They are one of my favorite ways to take in stories and learn new things because they are so quick and easy to tune into when I have a few spare minutes in the day.

I’ve been curious about hosting my own for a little while now. I decided that 2021 was going to be the year! Between my full-time job and our fun at home, I have secretly been hiding out and creating a show of my very own.

Next week at this time, it will be live and ready for you to enjoy!

Motherhood Merged Podcast for women in business and motherhood
About the Podcast

Motherhood Merged is a weekly show created with moms on the go in mind. Listen while you drive, fold the laundry, or get some exercise. Each episode is designed to deliver actionable tips you can implement in your own way and on your own timeline to market your local business and grow your personal brand. 

I focus on the small things you can do that are guaranteed to reduce the overwhelm that comes with all the hats you wear. We will get into systems and mindsets that will produce real results. We will talk about business, life and everything in between. Plus hear from amazing women doing great things as women and mothers. 

I had a full-time job before I added the full-time job of raising my two daughters. Now the two are merged in a way that is both satisfying and overwhelming. I’ve learned that it doesn’t have to be one or the other, it can be both. 

We make it look easy but Im here to remind you that its ok if its hard. 

This is where the professional merges with the personal and the support is real. Lets be inspired together. 

You’re Invited

This is your invitation to  join me every week for the Motherhood Merged Podcast. 

This podcast will make you feel like you’re part of a community of like-minded women while learning all the best marketing systems and brand building strategies.

I get asked about the art in my fitting rooms a lo I get asked about the art in my fitting rooms a lot. 

I love how these two spaces turned out. 

Yes, I worked with a designer on the concept but I didn’t want the finished product to break the bank. 

I knew I wanted some inspirational and unique pieces. In the end, I used my own graphic design expertise to put the ideas into my brand colors. 

I sent the designs to my local printer and had them printed onto foamcore boards. The prints are thick but very lightweight so hanging with simple 3M command strips was simple. 

At least once a week I get asked if the prints are for sale so maybe I should consider it!

This is what back to school prep looks like. Aug This is what back to school prep looks like. 

August has always been my busiest month of the year and while I have changed careers, I don’t expect that to change. 

Back to school means back to dance. I’m working to be the best solution in town for parents and dancers this season. 

How am I doing it? 
⭐️Ensuring the store is fully stocked
⭐️Connecting with dance studios to share about my store with their students in their communications
⭐️Setting up pop up shops at open houses and fall events
⭐️Bundling items together to make shopping easy

My girls have helped with unboxing, pricing, cleaning, dressing mannequins and more this week. I’m taking advance of the extra hands before they go back to school next week 🤣

Back to school time is still stressful but in similar but different ways this year. Know what I mean?

Anyone else feel like their summer schedule was WA Anyone else feel like their summer schedule was WAY busier than usual?

We’ve had softball on top of softball travel on top of dance practices on top of work trips and more. The color coded google calendar is my lifeline. 

One more week to survive and then we breathe a bit. Softball wraps for the season and one goes to sleep away camp for the week. Mom and dad exhale. 

And then we start it all over again…

Dear brain, Sometimes it’s ok to rest. Be still Dear brain,

Sometimes it’s ok to rest. Be still. Enjoy a little break. 

Love, me

If you find yourself wanting but struggling to rest, you are not alone. Tune in to episode 70 of the Motherhood Merged podcast where I share my struggles with the whole concept. 

I share 3 lies I’ve been telling myself about the need for rest in my life. And lay some blame on my parents for teaching me these false beliefs 🫣

Time to play catch up! Feels a little like I’ve Time to play catch up!

Feels a little like I’ve been living in a whirlwind these past several weeks. 

As a family, we are adjusting to life as local business owners. It’s a big change and a bit hard to sort though in the midst of all the girls’ activities. Like many of our friends with kids this age, we feel like we are just running from one thing to the next. 

Always feels good to slow down for a minute and review the camera roll. Big memories have been made in the last month. 

Kids wrapped the school year and Ally received 2 big 6th grade awards. 

Travel softball is non-stop. Hadley has always been very naturally talented but she’s learned a lot off the field. She makes us proud to watch her, even when it means super early mornings and lots of car travel. 

Garth Books came to B’ham and put on a show. I don’t love concerts but he was on my short list of must-see shows. It did not disappoint. 

Last weekend I got to celebrate my sweet niece turning 1. Being there in person was really important to me and we made it work. 

That’s a quick update on life here through the camera roll. Life happens even if we don’t post about it on social. 

What’s life serving up for you lately? Drop a comment with some details about a favorite photo on your phones camera roll from the last few weeks.

The ribbon has been cut ✂️ Leaving my job was The ribbon has been cut ✂️

Leaving my job was scary. But hosting the grand opening of my retail store less than 6 months later was nothing short of incredible. 

This isn’t a stopping point. It’s a milestone. One that I had so much fun celebrating with community members, family, friends, and friends who have become family. 

Hosting a grand opening event led to a 200% increase in social following and nearly 1000 new eyeballs on my google business profile in the first 48 hours. 

I’m getting my systems and tracking methods in place now to capitalize on the excitement and local traffic. If you need me, I’ll be making some new spreadsheets 🤣

Changing careers means change for the whole family Changing careers means change for the whole family. 

Everyone has been involved with the new adventure of opening a retail dancewear store. From opening boxes to hanging up leotards to window washing, they are doing it all. 

I’m so grateful for their support and the girls have been so interested in every step of the way. 

Even when it’s meant multiple dinners on the store floor from the pizza place next door. 

This change to a family business has been more than I could have hoped for 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

The welcoming committee 👯‍♀️ Saturday I The welcoming committee 👯‍♀️

Saturday I unboxed, assembled and dressed the 5 mannequins that are part of my store window display. It wasn’t difficult by any means but I did learn the hard way that you have to dress as you build. 

It’s a fun add but I’m also a bit creeped out by these faceless characters that I will now be spending a lot of time with every day. 

I want to have a contest for my customers to name them. (Hello, creative lead generator 😉)My husband says that’s weird. What do you think?
