#193 - Balancing Ambition, Motherhood & Business, with Carrie Kwan

Your Dream Life with Kristina Karlsson

Hello & welcome back!

In today's episode, we delve into the intricate dance between ambition, motherhood and entrepreneurship.

My guest, Carrie Kwan, co-founder of Mums & Co., joins me to share her wisdom, insights, and practical tips on navigating the complexities of modern life as a business owning Mum.

Carrie’s mission in life is to help women harmonise ambition (business and career goals); livelihood (family and financial routine); and wellbeing (individual physical, mental and spiritual health).

And Mumbition™ is the Mums & Co word for it. The unapologetic blending of motherhood and ambition.

We’ve recently collab’d with her to produce a Mums & Co x Dream Life Mumbition™ Journal – which guides working Mums through a simple, valuable and regular journaling practise.

And, whether you're a Mum seeking harmony between motherhood and ambition, an aspiring entrepreneur looking for guidance, or anyone in search of practical life lessons, this episode will inspire and inform.

In this episode you will:

1. Discover the power of quarterly planning as a tool to reset and refocus your goals.
2. Embrace the philosophy of "Progress, Not Perfection," and learn why ambitious dreams are worth pursuing even if they take time.
3. Explore the art of journaling to capture ideas and thoughts - fostering creativity and reflection in your daily life.
4. Uncover the secrets of effective networking and making respectful, specific asks to build a supportive community around you.
5. Embrace continuous learning and collaboration as tools for personal and professional growth and find out how curiosity can be your greatest ally.

As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you – and what you plan to implement after listening in. So please share below and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook group here.

Have a wonderful week …and Dream Big!

Love,

K

Dream Life Founder
