Mary is joined by Jen Martensen as they dive into all things women, work, and making it happen. From the power of community support for moms (because no one does this alone) to Jen’s bold leap from corporate life into consulting, the conversation is packed with real talk and practical insight. They break down why financial management and bookkeeping aren’t just “nice to have” for small businesses—they’re essential—and unpack the unique challenges women face while building and sustaining businesses in a constantly shifting economy.

With honesty, humor, and a little hard-earned wisdom, Mary dives into the realities of entrepreneurship, the weight of the world around us, and why community, growth, and doing what actually brings you joy matter more than ever.
