Why Dropping the Ball Doesn’t Mean You’re Failing as a Parent Entrepreneur

How Parent Entrepreneurs Can Build Sustainable Success with Strategy, Support, and Self-Compassion

You know the only guarantee out there if you’re building a business while raising a family is... something will always fall through the cracks.

A ball will drop. The dishes. The inbox. The mindset routine. The grocery run, again.

And guess what? That doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It might actually mean you’re finally doing it right.

Why You Feel Like You’re Failing

The problem isn’t that you’re dropping balls.
The problem is that you believe you’re supposed to keep them all in the air.

Here's what’s actually happening:

• You’re the sole decision-maker and it’s exhausting

• You’re measuring success by impossible standards

• You’re guilting yourself into shame instead of focusing on what matters

You don’t need to do more. You need to choose what matters most right now, and give yourself permission to let the rest wait.

Why We Built The Village

I created The Village for this exact reason—because parent entrepreneurs shouldn’t have to choose between being a good parent and a successful business owner.

Inside this online community, you’ll find:

• Weekly Monday Momentum voice note sessions to help you reset with intention

• Professional networking that’s built around nap schedules, not 9–5s

• Real talk, business coaching, and strategy that doesn't ignore your real life

• A crew of 38+ parents and growing, all rewriting the rules of how business and parenting can coexist

This is about doing what matters—and letting go of the guilt for the rest.

Choose Your Drop

You're going to drop a ball.

But when you choose which one and stand in that choice with pride, you reclaim your power.

That’s what we’re doing in The Village.

If you're ready to grow a business that fits your life, not one that burns it out.
