What happens when you’re a strong and ambitious leader of a thriving business – and now, at 37, a new mother? Britt Arnold dives into the triumph and tribulations of a Mom Boss with her husband, fellow entrepreneur, Mike Arnold, in this episode of “Love ‘n Business”.
Discover how this driven businesswoman is learning to prioritize her life intentionally. Highlights include:
- Mom Boss versus mompreneur.
- The essential advantage of having an experienced au pair during the workday to allow them to copy with business demands.
- Britt feels that there’s great value in a child seeing their parents working hard, but it’s emotionally difficult to hand off her child to another – and there’s guilt.
- When with her child, Britt strives to be very present and to engage, teach and stimulate her child.
- Witnessing his older daughters, Mick’s proud to see the strong work ethic has been passed along.
- As a brand-new mom in her late thirties, Britt was surprised to begin questioning her decision to leave the baby with others – and essentially, her very identity.
- The importance of time management, prioritization and resilience in balancing a career and family life.  Not much downtown these days for the Arnolds… focuses are business, health and wellness, family and friends.
- Britt’s discovering feminine energy. She finding that having a child adds inspiration and motivation, as well as empathy. She’s relating to others more deeply.
- Support and appreciation for women seems to be on the rise in the US (childcare at the Olympics, etc.).
- Ruth Ginsburg’s story of gender disparity – man’s employment viewed as more important.
