Ep 33: How to Manage Motherhood and Entrepreneurship with Sharon Somekh

Sharon Somekh is a general pediatrician, loving wife, and mother to 4 daughters. After a decade of practicing general pediatrics and working with families, she realized that what she enjoyed most was helping parents with parenting concerns, and felt this is what would be most helpful in shaping their children's futures. There often wasn’t enough time, however, while tending to children’s medical needs to address their concerns. She developed Raiseology to help parents with their parenting struggles and teach them how to raise resilient children in a modern world. As a parenting consultant, she hopes to make a difference for parents today while affecting the future of their children in a positive way.

She mentions how it was easier to turn off work mode when working at the office and how you can learn to do the same even when you’re working from home. A tip she shares is setting a hard stop time for yourself when you’re working on your business.
• Before becoming a full-time entrepreneur, Sharon was a pediatrician and she shares some of the fears she experienced when she decided to quit her job.
• Sharon and I talk on parenting. She shares her advice on how to handle our children that have trouble sleeping through the night and how to set boundaries with your teenager!

“When people sleep train their kids, they need to remember that it’s not a one and done type of thing. It really is something that you need to be consistent about.”  - Sharon Somekh

• Find the right balance with your children. Sharon gives advice and house chores with her children. As mothers, we naturally want to do things for our children but it’s best to find the right balance and teach them things that they can do on their own.

“I try not to do things for my kids that they can definitely do for themselves.” - Sharon Somekh
