E37: Entrepreneurship & Motherhood: A Candid Chat with Stacy Lyn Harris

I’m so glad to have Stacy Lyn Harris joining me again on the podcast for an honest conversation about what it’s like to run successful businesses while in the trenches of motherhood. What does it look like to bring our children along with us in our work? How do we manage to stay productive while meeting the needs of small children? How have our businesses changed throughout different seasons of our families? For any parent who is committed to giving your family your best and building a business you are proud of, may this vulnerable conversation be an encouragement to you.

In this episode, we cover:

What it was like to start a business as a homeschooling mother of seven
How to get your children involved in working together on your dreams
Creating a culture in your home that motivates your children to help with the work
Reevaluating your strategy as an entrepreneur through shifting seasons of motherhood
Two important strategies for entrepreneurs to be more productive
Knowing when and how to bring on extra help in your business
Why it is so valuable to remember that your spouse is your first business partner
Letting go of our schedules and expectations in order to embrace what life brings

ABOUT STACY LYN

Southern lifestyle guru, television host, celebrity chef, best-selling author and speaker Stacy Lyn Harris wants her readers to pull up a chair, hear some funny and poignant stories, and incorporate her unfussy, delicious recipes into their special occasions and daily life. After all, like the title of her new cookbook states, food is the "Love Language of the South."

"I don't go to my home and kitchen expecting perfection," Harris writes in "Love Language of the South." "It's simply the place I go to return to what matters most: my family, my faith, and spending my days at home in the South. Time I spend cooking is time spent loving. And that's why I call it my love language."

In addition to being a best-selling author of three books and host of "The Sporting Chef" on The Outdoor Channel, Harris is also the founder of the popular Stacy Lyn Harris blog. The Alabama native and mother of seven has grown a following with her simple approach to sourcing and preparing meals – often including wild game and ingredients from her garden.

With multiple cookbooks and cooking shows celebrating Southern charm, lifestyle and seasonal, fresh protein, Harris is just getting started bucking the ordinary. She's showing the world that Southern culture is more than bless your hearts with a side of sweet tea. It's also a family Sunday dinner of crispy fried chicken with a side of caramel cake so simple that even her newlywed self could execute it to perfection.
