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.
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 choosing 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
