Behind the Scenes of Hosting a Live Women’s Business Event (Part 2)

In this heartfelt and high-energy episode, I’m bringing you behind the scenes of This Mother Means Business LIVE—specifically, the actual event day! If you haven’t listened to part one yet (where I share the prep, mindset shifts, and lessons leading up to the big day), definitely start there first. But in this episode, it’s all about how the day unfolded, the energy in the room, and the powerful reminder of why this work matters so deeply.

From the emotional moments of the panel discussion to the buzzing networking sessions and the lessons I learned the hard way (like why I’ll never keynote my own event again!), I’m walking you through the highs, the hiccups, and the heart of this transformational day. I also give huge love to our incredible sponsors and share how hosting this live event helped bring the This Mother Means Business community to life in ways I never imagined. If you’re planning to host an event, craving authentic connection, or simply want a peek at what it looks like to bring your brand to life—this one’s for you.
