Motherhood Isn’t a Side Note with The Millionaire Mother, Cait Scudder
We’re told not to make any big business decisions postpartum. But what if that’s actually when everything becomes the most clear?
In today’s conversation with Cait Scudder, business mentor, TEDx speaker, and founder of The Millionaire Mother, we discuss the deep personal transformation that occurs after birth and how Cait’s own postpartum reckoning led to a complete reinvention of her business.
Cait shares exactly how she knew it was time to shut down a wildly successful mastermind, what it took to create a brand that fully reflected her evolution, and why motherhood is not something she hides in business. It’s the center.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• Why Cait shut down a multi-7-figure mastermind just months after giving birth
• Why trying to “just add a baby” to your old business model almost always backfires
• What changed between baby one and baby three, especially in how Cait allowed herself to be supported
• How to advocate for your needs without guilt and model that strength for your kids
• The mindset shift that completely redefined legacy for her (hint: it’s not just about money)
