Summary

In the second episode of I’M FINE (but…) , Rose sits down with Erin Wattam, BabyBeats’ very first franchisee for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to build a business alongside motherhood. They talk openly about the highs and the hard bits of self-employment, how your personality impacts your success, the power of community events, expanding your offers, marketing without the ick and adapting when life doesn’t go to plan. It’s a real look at mindset, accountability, balancing babies and business and what happens when you stop trying to be perfect and start being honest. This episode isn’t polished, it’s real. And that’s exactly the point. If you’ve ever thought, “I love my life… but I want more,” this one’s for you.
