Raising a business while raising a young family with Susan Wallace

This week on the podcast, I'm delighted to be hosting Susan Wallace, founder of Settled Petals. Through her work, Susan provides support to families using sleep consultancy, potty training, baby yoga, baby massage, and also provides accredited training in these areas. Susan believes in a tailored approach that meets each individual family's needs in order to give them the best possible support through the early years. 

Key Takeaways:
