In this episode, I'm sitting down with someone who has seen every version of me...before the business, before entrepreneurship, before healing my relationship with food, and even before I really knew who I was. My mom joins me for a conversation about motherhood, reinvention, resilience, and what it was like watching me navigate some of the hardest seasons of my life. Together, we talk about my eating disorder recovery from her perspective, the challenges and joys of raising three children, and her own incredible story of starting over in her 50s. After spending years as a pharmacist, my mom made the courageous decision to return to school and become a nurse proving that it's never too late to pursue the life you truly want. In this episode, we discuss: What I was like as a child and the early signs of determination and independence How gymnastics shaped my mindset, work ethic, and drive My mom's experience supporting me through an eating disorder and what helped most during recovery The importance of seeking help early when someone is struggling with mental health or disordered eating The realities of being both a working mom and a stay-at-home mom Why community matters so much during motherhood My mom's journey of leaving pharmacy and returning to school to become a nurse in her 50s What it feels like to reinvent yourself later in life The similarities between entrepreneurship and pursuing a second career How to support your children in following their passions (even when you don't fully understand them) My ongoing thoughts about having a third child and how family decisions evolve over time Why there is no "perfect" path when it comes to motherhood, career, or life Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program?
