Real Talk, Real Business: Why We Started The ‘When The Baby Sleeps’ Podcast

Vicky and I met on a group call in a business program. I remember hearing her share something and thinking, "Wait, we need to talk." One DM turned into voice notes. Voice notes turned into real conversations. And those conversations? They started sounding like a podcast waiting to happen.

We were both in the middle of mom life, work, deadlines, and a million tabs open in our brains. And in those moments, we found something steady—honest, unfiltered conversations about business, growth, and navigating this whole thing without losing ourselves.

We’re at different stages in real life and in business. I’ve been doing this for a while now, and Vicky is just getting started. That means I get to offer guidance, share lessons, and reflect on how far I’ve come. And at the same time, I get to feed off her new energy—that spark you have when everything feels fresh, full of possibility, and slightly terrifying.

We realized the conversations that were helping us might also help someone else. So we said, hey—let's hit record and see what happens. Maybe someone out there needs to hear this. Even if it's just one person.

Why We Started This Podcast

Because the online business world can feel loud, curated, and overwhelming.

But what about the moments when you're Googling how to send your first invoice or trying to figure out how to talk about what you do without cringing?

What about the fears you don't say out loud or the wins that feel small but matter deeply?

That’s what we talk about.

What to Expect

Weekly episodes, short enough to fit into your day without needing a whole calendar block.

We'll cover:

- What to focus on when you're getting your business off the ground

- How to pivot around challenges (and how to know when it's time)

- Scaling without losing your mind

- Systems, boundaries, and burnout prevention

- And yes, the occasional bit of mom life too

Some episodes are just the two of us. Others will feature guests who get it.

Where to Listen

We're live on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else you listen. Just search When the Baby Sleeps.

Follow us, share it with a friend, and if you have a question or topic you want us to cover, send it in.

Final Note

This podcast isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about creating space for the conversations that move us forward.

Whatever you're navigating—whether you're a mom, a dog mom, or just someone with way too much on your plate—we hope these episodes make you feel a little less alone, a little more seen, and a lot more ready to take the next step.

We're building our businesses, building our lives, and figuring it out as we go. You're invited.
