I’m with my globe-trotting friend Tsh Oxenreider today talking about what it was like to take her young family on a trip around the world for a year, imposter syndrome, and stories of women who make the world go round.
In this episode we discuss:
- What it’s really like for a couple to take three kids around the world for a year.
- What do internet entrepreneurs really think about the question, “Do people still need to go to college?”
- The importance of telling women’s stories while we are in the “messy middle” of going for their dreams.
- How new women entrepreneurs get caught up in comparison and the importance of seeing how other women really "do it all".

Favorite quotes-
- After starting our trip around the world, my husband and I asked ourselves "What are we doing traveling around the world for a year with small kids and nothing but backpacks?"
- People like hearing that there are regular women entrepreneurs in the messy middle of work.
- On my podcast, Women's Work, I hear from women who fear the Imposter Syndrome of " On no, everyone's going to find out I have no idea what I'm doing."
- Starting out as a woman entrepreneur, we relate to people who say, "I'm still not sure it's going to work."
- When I've interviewed women entrepreneurs they would say, "I started out not really knowing what I was doing, but I did it anyway and learned as I went."
Bonus: After the interview join me as I answer your questions about life, faith, and business.
In this episode, I answer these questions-
- What is your parenting advice when it comes to disciplining your kids? (37:44)
- Is God really listening when I talk to him? (40:52)
- I recently heard an entrepreneur say that to be successful the business always has to come first. And that I can’t really have a life or friends outside of it. Is that really what running your own businesses is like? (43:30)
