Mom'ing is HARD
Most working moms will tell you that "mom'ing" while working is hard, but it's just as difficult to truly grasp the challenges working parents face when pulled in a million professional and personal directions.
In this episode, Isabel gets real about her motherhood journey with a fellow pet industry mom, Stephanie Nelson, who runs a pet care service in San Marcos, TX. Her business, On Paws Professional Pet Services was founded in 2015 and offers pet sitting and doggy day care services.
Join Isabel and Stephanie as they laugh about the awkward and frustrating moments, their why, and the things they wish they had to make life a little more sustainable. This episode will help partners understand the challenges of working motherhood and non-parents grasp the magnitude of the overwhelm many moms face while trying to pursue a beloved career while being present in their children's lives.
BIO:
My name is Stephanie and I am the owner of On Paws Professional Pet Services. I live in San Marcos, TX with my husband, 2 daughters and 3 wonderful pets. My background is in theater. I have a BA in theater arts and I worked in accounting and purchasing for many years prior to starting On Paws. Animals have always been a passion of mine and I used to pet sit for friends and coworkers before becoming a professional pet care provider.
After becoming a stay at home mom in 2015 I decided to follow a dream I'd had for several years, starting a professional pet care business, and thus On Paws Professional Pet Services was born. Since childhood, I've had several pets of my own and currently have 2 dogs and a cat. Our dog's names are Pepper and Gypsy and our cat is Tigger.
On Paws is a local, family owned and operated and family oriented business. My husband, daughters and I make what we do at On Paws possible. On Paws has grown into so much more than a way for me to earn extra money while caring for my daughter and I'm so grateful for that.
