#035 | We’re Back, Baby — And We Brought A Third Bestie
We missed you, besties! Season 2 is here and so are we with baby squeaks, chaotic schedules, and big updates in tow. In this episode, we’re catching up on everything from Kristen’s maternity leave and newborn life (spoiler: Baby Etta has arrived!) to Gillean’s marathon of brand trips, conferences, and somehow keeping three kids alive while doing it all. We also spill all the tea on our Business Bestie Retreat. With surprise speakers to dreamy details. If you need a little laugh, a lot of real talk, and a reminder that you’re never doing this whole life-and-business thing alone — this one’s for you.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Kristen’s honest take on prenatal depression and new baby life
- Gillean’s brand trip hustle and how she balances it all (with help from the grandparents)
- Why having space for inspiration and connection is everything
- What to expect at our Business Bestie Retreat (including the amazing speaker lineup!)
- Our favorite bits and pieces, including tech fails and TV binges
Key Takeaways:
- You can love your work and still want (and need) a break.
- Postpartum and prenatal mental health look different for everyone, and both are real.
- Support systems matter whether that’s family, friends, or business besties.
- Retreats can be game changers for your mindset, your biz, and your momentum.
- The unexpected is where the magic happens — in life and business.
So grab your drink, put your feet up, and hit play because your besties are back and this season’s going to be so good.
