In this episode, we explore what it really looks like to grow a business, raise a family, and reclaim your identity along the way.
We talk about:
๐ฑ Raising children and a business at the same time
๐ก Why workplace flexibility isnโt a luxuryโitโs essential for working moms
๐ผ How a 4-day work week can support mothers returning to work
๐งญ The years she felt like a โvice captainโ in her own businessโand how she reclaimed her voice
๐ฎโ๐จ The power of learning how to breathe right (yes, really!)
๐ถ๐ผ How motherhood shaped her leadership in unexpected ways
๐ Why Louisa believes you can do it allโand do it well
For over a decade, Louisa Lee worked quietly behind the scenes of her husbandโs dental practice DP Dental โnever calling herself a co-founder, even as she helped build the business from scratch.
A trained teacher by background, she didnโt plan to become an entrepreneur. But life had other ideas. While raising two boys and helping run the clinic alongside her husband, Louisa also carried the emotional load many working mothers know all too well: invisible labor, guilt, and the tension between being there for others and showing up for yourself.
That all changed the day she stopped seeing herself as the โvice captainโ and stepped fully into her role as co-leader.
Today, Louisa is an award-winning entrepreneur (Entrepreneur of the Year 2017), advocate for working mothers, and champion of the 4-day work weekโa structure she believes is game-changing for women navigating motherhood and career.
