If you're a business owner and expecting a baby, this episode is your permission slip to rest.

Host Kaitlin McGreyes sits down with Hannah Vasquez, founder of Your Favorite VA, to talk about how entrepreneurs can actually take a maternity leave—without their business falling apart. From scheduling content in advance to automating systems and delegating tasks, Hannah breaks down how to prepare your business to coast while you recover and bond with your baby.

They explore:

 * How to “nest” your business just like you’d nest your home
 * The difference between working on your business vs. in your business
 * Why we often underestimate how demanding postpartum life really is
 * How to focus your energy on revenue- and impact-generating activities

This conversation is practical, validating, and deeply necessary for any entrepreneur who’s navigating pregnancy and parenthood.
