In this episode of the Mama In Biz podcast, I chat with Chelsea Lehmann, owner of Home Town Events in Hamilton, New York. Chelsea shares her journey of balancing her roles as a mother, a business owner, and an involved community member. She discusses the inception of her business, the challenges of managing a wedding and event planning company, and her efforts to cultivate a thriving small town business and network in the same town that she was born and raised. Chelsea also shares her personal experiences of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum depression, offering advice and insight for other mothers. This real & raw conversation delves into the realities of juggling family life and entrepreneurial ambitions, while emphasizing the importance of community and support systems.
