What if I told you that 2024 was my lowest revenue year since I started coaching—and that admitting this might be the most important thing I share with you all year?

In this raw and honest episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on why so many brilliant CEO moms have been struggling lately (spoiler: it's not just you), what's actually working in 2025, and why I created The Real Secrets of CEO Moms Summit for the third time—because we all need these real conversations right now.

After finding out I was pregnant the day before October 7th, navigating war anxiety while building a business, and watching my revenue drop despite having solid systems in place, I realized something: the game has changed, and nobody gave us the memo. But here's what I discovered after having intimate conversations with 12 incredible CEO moms—the ones thriving aren't doing MORE, they're doing LESS, but smarter.

If you've been feeling like you're the only one struggling to keep up, questioning whether you've lost your magic, or wondering why what used to work just... doesn't anymore, this episode is your permission slip to stop pretending everything is fine and start building a business that actually fits your real life.

(Note: the audio sounds different at different points because I was recording this post-bronchitis and had to go back and fix a few parts where my voice just got too hoarse)

What you'll learn:

• Why 2024 hit different for so many CEO moms (and why that's actually normal)
• The 4 strategies I'm seeing work consistently right now for sustainable mom businesses
• My "driving on the highway" analogy that will change how you think about long-term business building
• Why doubling down on 1-2 offers beats chasing shiny objects every time
• How to build for the long game when you're raising babies and businesses
• The real reason I created this summit (hint: I needed these conversations as much as you do)

Resources Mentioned in this Episode:

• The Real Secrets of CEO Moms Summit
• Episode 1: Welcome to Raising Your Business (where I share my story in more depth)

I’m nursing my baby on my lap as I record and yes, it’s noisy—but it’s real life. This episode? It’s short, but it’s pivotal.

I’m walking through why you are the bottleneck in your business—even if it’s not because of your team or your systems. It’s because your energy is stretched thin. I used to do custom work, launch like crazy, and it all stopped when real life kicked in. My business needed me, and that’s the crux of the problem.

Spoiler: The fix isn’t hiring more people. It’s about pulling the plug on the belief that you must be “on” all the time.

What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between being the bottleneck personally vs. systemically
• How to build a business model that runs—even when you can't be “on”
• Daily and weekly rhythms that power growth without burnout
• How to design offers that don’t collapse when you step away
• Evergreen funnels, automation, and layering offers for passive flow

Why this is a gamechanger:

You don’t need to burn it all down—you need to remodel. If you’re tired of feeling like you're spinning your wheels and ready to build something that sustains both your business and family life—this episode is your wake-up call.

Need cash fast? Here’s EXACTLY what I’d do (and how to turn it into recurring revenue)

What would you do if you needed to make money, like, yesterday? No big launch, no funnel-finesse. Just a simple, strategic cash injection that actually works. That’s exactly what I’m walking you through in today’s episode—how to bring in quick cash without burning out (and how to use it as the foundation for repeatable, recurring income).

If you’re looking for a super practical, straight-talking breakdown of how to audit your business, pull something valuable out of your digital junk drawer, and turn it into money this week... this is your episode.

Also: The Lazy Money Masterclass is coming up! It’s only $35 (in honor of my 35th birthday!), and I’ll be showing you how to build a rinse-and-repeat funnel from what you already have.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

• My exact process for bringing in 3-5K fast without launching
• The key questions to audit your existing content + assets
• How to know if your audience is warm enough for high ticket
• The right way to package a quick-win offer (that still sells!)
• How to sell it fast without a fancy funnel or sales page
• Why cash injections are the first draft of scalable offers
• Turning quick sales into long-term leverage
• What consistency really means (and how to make it doable)

Okay, listen. If you’ve ever tried to implement some single Bali babe coach's business advice—like “just block off a day to batch a month of content”—while you’re wiping a butt, heating up lunch, and calming a meltdown? This episode is for you.

Because I’ve HAD IT with strategies that assume you have zero kids, unlimited time, and maybe a live-in chef.

Here’s the thing though—this isn’t just about bro advice. It’s about our own expectations. The way we beat ourselves up when we see someone else doing something that looks amazing and think, "Why can’t I do that too?"

You know that moment where you’re like, “I should be able to do that,” and then feel like a failure when you can’t? Yeah. That.

I used to think I was just bad at business. But then I realized…I was just measuring myself against the wrong standard.

So I created my own. And now I run everything—offers, content, launches, all of it—through a filter I call the CEO Mom Decision Matrix. And it changed everything.

You’ll hear:

• What finally clicked for me in March 2020 that changed everything
• The real reason traditional biz advice isn’t working for you
• My 4-part "CEO Mom Decision Matrix" for making aligned moves
• The content + sales strategy that lets me make money during nap time
• Why your so-called "limitations" are actually your biggest leverage

Oh and by the way—if you want to see how this plays out in your own biz? I’ve got a brand new free resource for you: Lazy Leverage. It’s 8 sneaky-smart ways to grow your audience and make more money using stuff you’re already doing every day. Go grab it right now: https://yaelbendahan.com/lazyleveragepod

Summer's coming in HOT, mama, and with it—kids home, routines flying out the window, and that "wait, how am I supposed to keep this business running?!" feeling. In this part-three finale of the Summer Series, we’re diving into what it actually takes to thrive through the summer months as a CEO mom.

If you’ve been wondering how you can stay present with your kids and keep your business humming along—without the guilt, chaos, or complete loss of sanity—this one’s for you.

I’m sharing real strategies, mindset shifts, and mom hacks that have helped me navigate summers with babies, toddlers, tweens, and teens (yes, all at once). From work/kid/you-time containers to flexible routines and embracing the joyful mess, you’ll leave this episode feeling more prepared—and way less panicked—about what’s coming.

What you’ll learn:

• Why your old "summer expectations" might be setting you up for resentment
• The 3 key containers every CEO mom needs (no, not Tupperware)
• How to actually enjoy summer with your kids and keep cash flowing
• Why being proactive > reactive (especially when it comes to screen time + meals)
• How to plan summer days so everyone’s less cranky (you included)
• Tiny moments of presence and gratitude that make it magical

Ready to make summer your most profitable season yet—without burning out?

If you’re already bringing in consistent $8K–$12K+ months but still find yourself scrambling every summer (read: doing client work from the back bedroom while your family’s on vacation), it’s time for a change.

In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how to plan your summer like a CEO -- not a freelancer. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about finally leveraging everything you’ve already built.

I’ll break down the 5 key areas you need to audit, simplify, and systemize so you can scale smarter -- even when your kids are home 24/7.

If you’ve been running a 6-figure business that feels like a full-time job, I made this one for you.

Here’s what we cover:

• How to audit your business assets and double down on what’s already working
• Simple evergreen systems that sell while you take time off
• Visibility strategies that scale without daily content
• What to delegate now so you’re not the delivery bottleneck
• Using summer to set yourself up for a killer Q4

Specifically, how to stay visible, book clients, and keep cash coming in without working 40 hours a week or disappearing until September.

In this episode, I’m breaking down Part 1 of your summer survival plan if you’re still building toward consistent 5–10K months or booking out your 1:1s. We’re talking real mom-life logistics, money planning, and what to actually focus on (spoiler: it’s not posting every day).

I also share what I personally do to prep for summer in a house full of kids, from pre-selling intensives to redefining consistency, so you can head into summer with peace AND profit.

Ever feel like your brain is a cluttered browser with 47 tabs open… and 3 are playing music?

You’re not broken. You’re just saturated—not with market trends, but with information overload. You’ve grown your business, taken the courses, tried all the strategies. Now you’re standing knee-deep in knowledge… and paralyzed by it.

This episode is your wake-up call to stop chasing the next strategy and start filtering out the noise.

In this refreshingly honest episode, you’ll hear:

• Why “I feel stuck” is often just code for “I’ve consumed too much and can’t see straight anymore”
• What brain saturation looks like in real-time (hello 10 abandoned Trello boards and 5 launch plans)
• How to use the sacred pause to spark your next move from alignment, not pressure
• A simple 4-step reset to get out of overwhelm and into momentum again—without buying another damn course
• The real reason you’re not selling your offer and how to reconnect with it so it starts working again

Whether you’re navigating content chaos, second-guessing your funnels, or just feel like everything is “off,” this episode gives you permission to pause, prune, and powerfully reset.

✨ Because you’re not stuck. You’re evolved. And it’s time your strategy caught up.

🔥 Doors are open: Your MOMentum Era is officially in session!

If you're craving clarity in your next chapter, this 3-week, audio-led coaching reset is for you. You’ll realign with what actually works for your life, tap into sustainable strategies, and finally stop outsourcing your authority to every sales page that crosses your feed.
