Building a Business and a Family with Grace

Rachel Swieter, founder of Swieter Interiors, shares her inspiring journey of balancing entrepreneurship, motherhood, and faith. From dreaming of owning a business in middle school to launching her interior design company in 2018, Rachel’s path was anything but linear. Shortly after starting, she and her husband navigated IVF, welcoming twin boys in 2019 and another baby in 2020. With three kids under three, she put her business on hold—an incredibly difficult but necessary choice.

Rachel opens up about the emotional and spiritual challenges of IVF, the deep prayers that carried her through, and the unwavering support of her small circle. When she returned to design, doors opened, and business flourished. Yet, she remains intentional about her priorities—knowing she does not want to work full-time but instead create within the boundaries of motherhood.

She shares wisdom on setting limits, battling mom guilt, and the importance of personal space. Rachel’s story is a reminder that success isn’t about hustle at all costs—it’s about aligning work with life’s deeper purpose. She boldly embraces her role as a mother first while still pursuing her passion for design.

Attitude, Effort & Entrepreneurship with Kristin Printon

In this episode of Reclaiming Your Hue, I sit down with Kristin Printon, a financial planner of 14 years and a passionate advocate for women supporting women. Kristin shares her journey from entrepreneurship to motherhood, highlighting the adaptability and resilience required for both.

We discuss the realities of building a sustainable business—Kristin’s second year was especially tough, requiring a second job to stay afloat. But belief, persistence, and smart money decisions helped her push through. She emphasizes the importance of honoring energy over just metrics, working with clients who bring good energy, and using the “cringe test” to ensure alignment in business relationships.

Motherhood brought its own challenges, from the mental load to redefining success on her own terms. Kristin opens up about dark moments—like struggling with nursing and sleep deprivation in her son’s early months—and how self-care, boundary setting, and letting go of others’ ideals helped her navigate them.

Kristin’s advice? Stay the course, believe in yourself, and take the leap. Failure isn’t the worst outcome—never trying is.
