In this episode of the Mama In Biz podcast, host Rebecca Schor chats with Kaitlyn David, a marketing strategist, mindset coach, and owner of Root and Flourish. Kaitlyn helps female entrepreneurs define their authentic voice online through content that stands out and converts, while emphasizing the importance of inner work, intuition, and aligning business with personal values.

Kaitlyn spent most of her life coloring inside the lines, tip toeing around other people's feelings, and achieving what looked like success. She was the quintessential superwoman, juggling corporate demands while trying to be the perfect mother. It took a layoff in 2020 for Kaitlyn to hit the reset button and embark on a journey of self-discovery. One that allowed her to rediscover who she is and what she desires. Now, armed with over 15 years of marketing experience and a deep commitment to mindfulness, Kaitlyn is here to help you build a business and life on your terms. Kaitlyn's coaching goes beyond strategies and tactics – it's about understanding your shadows, cultivating self-compassion, and building the unshakeable confidence needed for transformative change.

Kaitlyn shares her journey from corporate marketing to entrepreneurship, highlighting the necessity of mindfulness and flexible strategies. Kaitlyn also offers practical tips for creating effective marketing plans and getting in to a creative headspace when you feel stuck, with limited time as a busy mama, making it a must-listen for mompreneurs.

In this episode of the Mama In Biz Podcast, we’re talking about how to craft your dream business and life—right now, not someday in the distant future. Get ready for practical tips, real talk, and a dose of inspiration to infuse joy and intention into your daily life.

What You’ll Hear:

• Rediscovering Sparkle in Your Business (2:19): Remember why you started your business in the first place! I share how reconnecting with your "Why" can help you rediscover the simple perks & joys (or as I like to call it, your sparkle) of being a business owner. Whether it’s working at a coffee shop, having a solo dance party at your desk, or co-working with a friend, these small moments of joy can bring back that spark. I also talk about the trap of constantly pushing for the next goal and how leaving white space in your schedule for joy-filled moments can make a big difference.

• Finding Joy in Motherhood (20:20): There’s so much overlap between business and motherhood. Just like your business, motherhood deserves moments of joy and spontaneity. I share tips for turning mundane errands into adventures, involving your kids in everyday chores, and giving them the white space to explore, imagine, and play independently. Remember, not every activity has to revolve around entertaining your child—they’ll often enjoy just tagging along and participating in your life.

• The Power of Planning (28:59): Planning is crucial as a mama and business owner. It’s not just about getting things done—it’s about reducing stress and chaos while staying aligned with your goals. I explain how to plan your business around your life (and not the other way around), why I make a seasonal “bucket list” with my family, and how I prioritize my daily and weekly tasks to make space for big-picture goals without burning out. Intentional planning can actually lead to more spontaneity in both your business and life.

🎧 Tune in to learn how to create a business and life you love today—not someday!
