Moms Making an Impact

If you ever find yourself overwhelmed and confused when it comes to legalities in the online business world, this episode is for you. Legal protection isn’t the most exciting subject but it so important as an entrepreneur to protect yourself and your business with the right precautions.  In this episode I’m talking with Christy Westerfeld about some of the most important things to be aware of when owning your own business online. We also dive into what it looks like for her to be mompreneur and how she started her own business while pregnant with her first child.  Christy Westerfeld, Esq. is an attorney and legal resource for online entrepreneurs and coaches. She helps savvy business women cut through the confusion and overwhelm of legal and create an easy and affordable plan of action to legally protect their websites and businesses. Christy firmly believes life is not meant to be lived in a windowless office in a job you don't like. We are born with passions, interests, talents, and dreams, and somewhere along the way, many of us lose sight of these. The best part of Christy's job is that she gets to help women following these passions and dreams learn how to protect what they're working hard to build, so they can build empires knowing they have taken steps to legally protect themselves and their business. When she isn’t working, you’ll find Christy chasing after her toddler while 39 weeks pregnant (which is hilarious), or binge-watching “Grey’s Anatomy.”   In this episode we’re talking about:   Making the shift from the employee mindset to the business owner mindset.  How to maintain balance with young kids and work.   Feeling guilty as a mom, wanting to be home with your kids but needing help with childcare.  The things that are needed to protect your website.  What is GDPR and why do we need to be concerned about it.   The difference in “Terms and Conditions” vs “Terms of Use” Let’s get to it!   Links From Episode:  Legal Forms for Your Business: https://members.christywesterfeld.com/crighter/purchase How to Connect with Christy:  Website: www.christywesterfeld.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christy.westerfeld.3 Instagram: www.instagram.com/christywesterfeld Free Legal Cheatsheet: https://christywestcoaching.lpages.co/legal-checklist-opt-in-option-2/ Find out more at: www.cassierighter.com Join me in my FREE Facebook Group!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/moms.making.an.impact/ Connect with me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/moms.making.an.impact/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/cassierighter/   **Disclaimer: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.

In today’s culture, having compassion for ourselves isn’t always the number one priority. Instead, we are constantly hearing the message that we should be hard and critical on ourselves.  In this episode, I’m talking with Julie Allen. Julie is a mom based out of Portland, Oregan to a busy toddler aged son and a young step daughter. She started Mary Rose North West Boutique because she recognized the need for a clothing boutique that focused on body positivity, self-love/acceptance, and helping women feel confident in their clothes. Her goal is to carry pieces that help women feel just as beautiful as they truly are.  Julie struggled with anorexia and bulimia for 15 years and has made it her mission to empower women to love themselves and embrace themselves whole-heartedly. In addition to her body positive boutique, Julie also created the Mary Rose Foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization designed to help women who are struggling with the financial burdens of an eating disorder.  Julie's message is simply one of strength, courage, self-compassion and most of all, hope. We are talking about how having compassion for yourself can help you approach your life in a way that is empowering.    Today we are sharing: Julie’s top three lessons that she has learned as a mom entrepreneur Practical ways to show yourself compassion Tips for building your bravery muscle Links mentioned in the episode:   “Brave Not Perfect” by Reshma Saujani : https://amzn.com/1524762334 Episode 1: Welcome to the Podcast - https://cassierighter.com/2019/06/30/episode-01-welcome-to-the-podcast/ Connect with Julie www.maryrosenwboutique.com Join the VIB group on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/maryrosenwboutique/ Instagram: instagram.com/maryrosenwboutique/   Connect with Cassie  Find out more at: www.cassierighter.com Join me in my FREE Facebook Group!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/moms.making.an.impact/ Connect with me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/moms.making.an.impact/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/cassierighter/
