Moms Supporting Moms: Building A Family Run Business That Serves The Community
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Mompreneur Collective, we're diving into what it really looks like when moms support moms...not just in words, but through business and community.
I'm joined by mompreneur, Jodie Melancon, Owner and operator of a local children's clothing resale franchise; Rhea Lana's of Lafayette. Together, we unpack the reality of running a family run business, balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, and why being part of a franchise doesn't make you any less local.
We talk about:
- What it truly looks like to run a business as a family.
- The unexpected blessings and real challenges of mixing family and entrepreneurship
- How motherhood has shaped her leadership with both empathy and high standards
- Setting boundaries between work time and family time in a season that demands both
- How entrepreneurship is just scary and you should do it anyway
- How her resale events create real community by helping moms earn money, connect with one another, and support local families
She shares how she's grateful for being part of a franchise that's provided both technical and emotional support from her franchise sisters while still allowing her business to remain deeply rooted in the local community she lives in, goes to school in, works in , and serves in.
This conversation is an honest look at the courage it takes to step into entrepreneurship, the importance of knowing your "why", and the impact women can create when they build businesses that are about more than profit...they're about people.
If you've ever wondered what it's like on the franchise side of things...
If you're navigating boundaries between motherhood and work...
Or if you believe in the power of women supporting women...
This episode is for you.💛
