S2E8: Building a Family Alongside a Business with Olivia Rae James

Considering that the wedding industry is largely composed of female entrepreneurs, it's surprising there isn’t a stronger dialogue in this space  concerning the realities of operating a creative business as a mother. Becoming a mother changes you in so many ways – physically, mentally, and spiritually – and comes with endless unknowns. With all of these shifts, how does one find a sense of work-life balance? How can women prepare their businesses for pregnancy, then again in post-partum, then create a sense of balance (and abundance) through the following seasons? As entrepreneurs, how can we be present with our child while also seeking growth and fulfillment in our businesses?Wanting to have this conversation with a fellow mother, I invited along Olivia Rae James, a destination wedding photographer living in Charleston, South Carolina. In our conversation, Olivia shares her invaluable perspectives on experiencing growth as both a mother and a business owner, from family planning and navigating the transitions of pregnancy to managing the ongoing changes throughout parenthood.Website: https://oliviaraejames.com/Instagram: www.instagram.com/oliviaraejameswed
