You’ll discover how she navigated the emotional rollercoaster of IVF while running a thriving business, and the strategic shifts she made to step away and truly be present with her daughter. This episode isn’t just about business—it’s about redefining what’s possible when you lead with intention and authenticity. We break down: the importance of infrastructuring your team so you can delegate with trust, how to set boundaries that protect your energy, and the mental health lessons learned in the chaos. Ricci discusses her journey through fertility treatments, the guilt that often shadows entrepreneurship and motherhood, and her honest advice for women facing similar challenges. Her vulnerability creates a roadmap for building resilient systems that serve your growth AND your well-being. Why does this matter?
