Last week was an exciting one because I hosted my inaugural interview on my Facebook page entitled (yes, you guessed it) "Mompreneur Next Door." I chose Jen Emslander because this beautiful, intelligent, fun and funny wife and mom of 3 and
I originally connected on LinkedIn, and after a wonderful conversation on the phone, a new idea for my blog was formed - why not highlight other moms on this journey to support and inspire us all. And why not start with Jen?
Jen was working as a nurse, married to an incredible man, living in Minnesota, and raising her three young children before she started her journey as a mompreneur. She and her husband were basically passing each other with the high-five hand off of their kids, losing touch with themselves and each other, and she knew something had to change. Sound familiar? When our kids are little, I think many of us have similar challenges. Listening to Jen's story, I got transported back to those challenging times in my life as well and remembered those feelings of looking for something, something like Jen wanted of being able to make money and also have flexibility to be with her kids.
I asked Jen how she found her business, and she replied that her business found her because she got to her breaking point and became more open to different options. A friend shared a sample of a product that she fell in love with, and the rest is history. This is a similar story for many moms - working so hard to make it work with what we thought would get us to where we want to be, and then realizing that we probably need to do something else. Jen dove in, became one of the top earners in her company, and that has lead her to an even greater path of helping more women do what she is doing - make money and be with her kids in an empowering faith-based environment.
Click here to listen to the full interview of Jen's journey. Not only will she share what she did, but she will also share some tips and the reality of what it took to achieve her level of success and the good, the bad and the ugly of her mompreneur/intrapreneur journey. Feel free to reach out to her as well if you would like to learn more about what she is doing.
