Hustle harder. Grind nonstop. Fake it till you make it. They tell us we can have it all, but at what cost? How many of us feel a twinge of guilt just being here at this conference, knowing you're not at home helping out, missing bedtime, or skipping another school event? The mental weight of running a business and a household isn't just heavy, it's absolutely crushing.
This inspirational and relatable panel is for the entrepreneurs doing their best to keep their business afloat while packing lunches, hiding sicknesses, and carrying the invisible weight of being everything to everyone all the time. The skipped field trips to meet client deadlines, the guilt of missed goals, and tournament medals due to another wedding weekend. From hiding parenthood from clients for fear you'll seem "less professional," to those who lie awake wondering if you're doing enough, you are not alone.
