This week on the Mom Means Business podcast, we’re kicking off our team meeting with sliding minivan doors and big dreams — yep, we’re talking Honda Odysseys, carpool convos, and how this week’s guest, Kelsey Cook, turned everyday parenting moments into a thriving educational business.

Team Huddle – Meet Kelsey Cook, certified teacher, mom of four, and founder of Learning with Kelsey — the subscription box making early learning at home easier, more fun, and way more doable. From her love of systems to her community of moms, she’s a mompreneur who gets it.

Vibe Check – We talk about slowing down, finding presence in parenting, and the little moments that led Kelsey to ask: How can I make learning more joyful, less stressful, and actually fit into real life?

Agenda Items – Kelsey shares how Learning with Kelsey was born: pre-planned, hands-on educational activity boxes designed for toddlers through kindergarteners. We discuss how she built a heart-centered brand, the real challenges of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and why connection through learning matters more than ever.

Industry Intel – We wrap with some behind-the-scenes business talk — tariffs, product-based small business challenges.

Whether you're a busy parent, an early childhood educator, or a fellow small business owner, this episode is packed with practical tips, inspiration, and laughs.
