In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I dive into a challenge many mompreneurs face: the overwhelming belief that we can do it all alone. Spoiler alert—it’s not only unrealistic, but it’s also keeping you stuck! Whether you’re trying to expand your reach, achieve ambitious financial goals, or simply find your joy in entrepreneurship again, this episode will remind you why having your people by your side is the secret to getting unstuck and thriving.

Joining me for this heartfelt conversation is Amanda Gavigan, a virtual assistant who specializes in project management for authors and women who own service-based businesses. Amanda is a dedicated entrepreneur who has built a thriving business while fully embracing the power of community support.

Amanda shares her incredible journey over the past two years—from refining her services to confidently owning her worth—and how the connections she’s made through the Mamas & Co. community helped her gain clarity, confidence, and courage. Her story is one of growth, celebration, and proof that when we lean into the right relationships, we unlock what’s possible.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to step out of isolation, build meaningful connections, and take their business to new heights.
