How Naming My Son Revealed a Key to Scaling My Business
Did you know that naming my son taught me one of the biggest lessons in business? In this episode of the Growing Pains Podcast, I’m diving into the unexpected connection between that personal experience and the critical role of defining processes in your business.

I’ll walk you through how setting up processes for client onboarding, project delivery, and team integration can save you from chaos and help you grow your business seamlessly. Plus, I’ll share how documenting these steps can be a game changer when you need to take time away—whether it’s for maternity leave or any other life event.
