Ali Tate Cutler gets brutally honest about what nobody tells you: how to build a business while grieving the version of yourself you once were.
Less than 1% of guests on major business podcasts are mothers. The rest? Childless men teaching strategies that don't work when you're building while celebrating your own transformation as a working mom.
"Mothers don't grind, we create. We don't hustle, we flow."
Ali (former supermodel turned social media strategist) created a new framework: Mothers don't grind, we create. We don't hustle, we flow.
She shares the grieving process of losing her pre-mother self, what she misses, the paradox of freedom, how to create when your time is fractured, and what small business owners get wrong about social media.
What You'll Learn:
- How moms actually build businesses versus the traditional playbook
- The grief of losing your pre-mother self and why it's okay
- The paradox of choice after kids
- Creating (not grinding) with constant interruptions
- What's wrong with "hustle" advice for working parents
- Building visibility without burnout
- Honoring who you were while becoming who you are
