Ep. 55 with Brenda Brusegard | Founder, InformedTech

The Tech-Stress Solution

What happens when international travel, motherhood, and technology expertise combine? You get a fresh perspective on how women entrepreneurs can thrive while maintaining crucial boundaries between business and family life.

Brenda Bruzegard brings her unique global viewpoint to this conversation, sharing how 15 years in education across Ecuador and India shaped her approach to business. Her journey took an unexpected turn when, at eight months pregnant, her employer suggested she might not return after maternity leave – a pivotal moment that sparked her entrepreneurial ambitions. "If I was going to face this uncertainty anyway, I'd rather it be on my own terms," Brenda reflects, capturing the sentiment that drives many women toward business ownership.

Now living in Panama with her two-and-a-half-year-old son, Brenda helps women entrepreneurs manage tech stress and streamline processes so they can scale their businesses without sacrificing family time. Her practical approach to technology includes simple boundaries like turning off email notifications and protecting morning routines as sacred self-care time. Through personal examples – from optimizing client intake forms to creating AI-powered email systems – she demonstrates how small technological improvements create massive time savings.

The conversation delves into the stark differences between international approaches to motherhood support, building community in new countries, and the power of intentional goal-setting. Brenda's dedication to helping women implement systems that allow them to "not look at their phone after 5 PM" speaks to the work-life integration so many entrepreneurs seek.

Whether you're struggling with tech overwhelm in your business or curious about how AI can streamline your daily operations, this episode offers practical insights from someone who's mastered the delicate balance of entrepreneurship and motherhood across continents.
