You have the ideas and the ambition. But having people you can turn to for advice, introductions, and support can change how you move forward. This week, Paulina Roe sits down with Stephanie Jill Cartin, co-founder of Entreprenista and Socialfly, to talk about building those relationships while navigating business and motherhood.
Stephanie shares how she and her business partner left their corporate jobs, grew an agency, and built a community for women entrepreneurs. She offers practical ways to start expanding your own circle—even when your calendar already feels full.
In this episode, we talk about:
Making time for meaningful connections, starting with 30 minutes a week.
Building relationships that lead to referrals, opportunities, and friendships.
Asking for support before you reach your breaking point.
Creating a business that supports the life you want.
What keeps a business partnership working through different seasons.
Getting comfortable charging for your work when your instinct is to give everything away.
Stephanie also opens up about infertility, IVF, losing one of her twin daughters during pregnancy, and the moms who helped her feel supported through an incredibly uncertain time. We talk honestly about returning to work after becoming a mother and what she hopes her daughter learns from watching her build.
An honest conversation about ambition, motherhood, and learning to let people show up for you.
