And she's been doing exactly that ever since.This week I'm sitting down with Aimee Rickabus, CEO of a nine-figure tech company, mum of six, author and host of The Manage Her podcast. And what I love most about this conversation is not what she's built, though that is genuinely impressive. It's how she thinks about what we do as women, as mothers, as builders of businesses and families and lives.Because Aimee makes something really clear that I think a lot of us need to hear right now.

And we have been doing it our whole lives without ever giving ourselves credit for it.We talk about what it really takes to build a business as a mom entrepreneur in your next chapter without burning yourself out. We talk about presence, technology boundaries, breaking the patterns we picked up from our mothers that no longer serve us. We talk about why working for yourself as a woman over 40 might actually be the move that finally gives you the balance you've been chasing. And we talk about the invisible pressure women carry and how to start putting it down.This one is for you if you are in your 40s or beyond and you are rebuilding, reinventing or figuring out what your next chapter even looks like.
