  • Resumen

  • Welcome to the Mom Founder Imagination Hub (formerly Unimaginable Wellness), your weekly podcast to inspire you to dream bigger in business, plan how and who can help you get to that next level, find the energy to keep going, and make sure your creative juices are flowing so that you can get what you really want rather than having to settle. Get ready to discover how successful mom founders here on this podcast have reimagined entrepreneurship and motherhood. Ever wonder how they do it? Tune in to find out. And stretch yourself by also learning from diverse entrepreneurs who might not be moms but who have lessons you can tailor about how you can disrupt industries and step way outside of your comfort zone. I believe every mom's superpower is her imagination. In this podcast, I'm going to give you the mindset, methods, and tools to unleash yours. I’m your host Melissa Llarena a mom to three high-energy boys and an entrepreneur since 2011. I carried my firstborn in my Ergobaby to my first pitch and two years later birthed identical twin sons. Originally from New York (you'll be able to tell from my accent), my family and I have lived in Sydney, Australia and currently call Austin, Texas home. What began as my "always keep networking" personal strategy meant to keep me plugged into corporate America as an early days career coach, shortly became favorite way to mother my boys through example as an imagination coach to mom founders who have to find their way into the right rooms faster than traditional methods would let them i.e. I can help you skip gatekeepers and not need warm intros. Both save you time and money and from even having to go out to happy hours too. Back to my story, whether it was when I launched this podcast in 2017 and landed GaryVee or when I wrote my #1 Amazon bestseller Fertile Imagination back in 2023, I've had the opportunity to pursue my sometimes outrageous professional goals in front of my kids. It's been amazing to show them what it's like to go after pursuits, fail then get back up, and I've even enlisted them in some of my highly imaginative ideas....which is why I want to share my learnings with you my fellow mom founder. Here's what I know: the one constant throughout these years has been my personal and professional need to change and, in this podcast, I want to share my lessons learned as well as feature some of the most dynamic humans in the world who are operating at the fringes of their imagination so that you can optimize yours. Think about this as your source of creative ideas to get through the day, a launch, out of a rut, you name it! Sounds good. Then start listening. New episodes are available every Tuesday. Meanwhile, pick one today from the current 230+ episodes to help you keep going after your ambitions, get the vitality and energy to create your own momentum, find creative and practical ways to carve your own path, and stay inspired so that you can bounce back from any mom or business setbacks. Learn from founders (GaryVee, Suzy Batiz), entrepreneurs (James Altucher, David Meltzer), authors (Zibby Owens, Jessica Lahey), nutritionists (Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Sabrina Falquier), writers (Lisa Messenger, Laura Carney), multi-passionates (Beth Comstock, Gabriele Corcos), artists (Max Mendez, David Roberts), intellectuals/thinkers (Jordan Harbinger, Cal Fussman), and Melissa. Let’s explore how others are using their imagination to create their own opportunities to imagine more for themselves and impact those around them without compromising their own bold ambitions so that you (and I) can keep it all together. Also, be sure to share your favorite show with fellow founders, entrepreneurs, and creators who want to keep their standards high and inner mental conflicts low. Say hi on Instagram @melissallarena for additional insights, stories, and lessons to help you use and leverage the skills you’ve gained as a mom as your competitive edge.

You want to build profitable relationships without draining your energy for family and business. Imagine if family time and business could fuel each other rather than deplete you. Maybe you’ve been filling your cup instead of depleting it? I faced the same challenge. I learned to balance being a great business owner and mom while building profitable relationships in my 13-year career. I can help you make this a reality. Hi, I’m Melissa Llarena, bestselling author, podcaster, mom of three boys (including twins), and CEO of a coaching business in Austin, TX. I started my business with my firstborn at six months and, later with twins, struggled with distractions. I discovered that while some founders might reach goals faster, I didn’t need to sacrifice my vision. I focused on building profitable relationships, a more consistent path to income than ads or social media algorithms. This approach expanded my reach, boosted my message, and increased my credibility. Plus, my method saves time by skipping gatekeepers, eliminating the need for warm intros or happy hours. This is what sets my method apart. I created a repeatable networking strategy for moms using my "Imagination to Impact to Income Method™." This strategy transformed how I manage time and energy and will be the focus of my LIVE masterclass entitled How to Craft a Focused Year-End Networking Strategy to Build Profitable Relationships in 30 Days Without Draining Your Mom Energy. My mission is to help moms creatively build their business while embracing motherhood. Profitable relationships align with both your business and family goals. I’ll show you how in the masterclass to close the year strong. Attend LIVE and get a 30-day ...

    242: How to Manage a Full Plate and Still Grow Your Business and Enter to Win a Guest Spot on This Podcast!
    Aug 6 2024
    Ever feel like you're running at full capacity and still not getting everything done? We've all been there! This back-to-school season will also come with new things to consider adding to your already full plate. If you’ve had a business for more than three years, you know it’s coming… opportunities to fill up your calendar with new trainings, activities for the kids, and business trips to plan and close out your year. Given this common fall flurry of evaluations and additions to your already full plate, I wanted to share with you my personal filter system. There are three things that I have been asking myself over the last 13 years that have helped me decide for myself based on my priorities: what to participate in, purchase, or remove from my plate. There are so many examples. However, before I share my three filters for evaluating what to add to my plate or remove, I want to give you one heck of an opportunity today that ends on Monday, August 12, 2024, at 5 p.m. CST. You have a chance to enter to win a guest spot on this podcast! Sign up for my newsletter, and you will be entered!

So head over to www.fertileideas.com right now and sign up. Rules apply: listen to the episode for those rules to win. Let’s jump into this episode. Today, I share a personal story from my book Fertile Imagination about the time I invested in Tony Robbins' Business Mastery live event. It was a big investment—$10K for five days, plus travel to Florida and time away from my three kids. But the chance to feel reinvigorated was worth it, so I jumped on the early bird discount. I'm diving into the idea of having a "full plate" and how, as mom founders, we can navigate the flood of opportunities that come our way. I'll share three key filters – alignment, better way, and transferability which I use to decide whether to take on new opportunities, even when things feel overwhelming. So, before you say, 'I have too much on my plate,' consider these filters. It might not be about adding more, but about replacing what doesn't align with your current goals with something that does. Tune in to hear how these filters can help you make informed decisions, prioritize what's important, and grow both personally and professionally. Whether you're navigating a busy schedule or looking to seize new opportunities, these insights are here to help you thrive!

How to periodically reassess what’s on your plate to ensure it reflects your current priorities and goals. Ideas on creatively rearranging commitments to manage time zones and deadlines effectively which requires expansive thinking i.e. your imagination. Ways to see whether new business growth strategies can enhance your current methods and whether they are justified to go on your plate. The key to determining if learning a new skill is worthwhile especially if you have lots of other options available to you i.e. are there key skills that are higher value like networking? An easy decision-making framework Melissa has used over the last 13-years to determine whether to invest in a particular course, community, or event when her plate has been busy i.e. three kids, global relocations, and life.

As a certified life coach, hypnotist, and host of The Purpose Filter podcast, she offers valuable insights on overcoming perfectionism to lead a more fulfilled and meaningful life.
