34. From Burnout to Success: Redefining Motherhood & Business
Listen Now! Apple | Spotify | Youtube
Motherhood has a way of cracking us wide open. For Ebonee Slater, that meant walking through a life-threatening birth, a corporate layoff while on maternity leave, and a panic attack that left her believing she might not make it home to her children.
Instead of letting those moments define her, Ebonee chose to rebuild everything, including her business, her energy, and her definition of success. Today, as the founder of the Mompreneurs Hub, she’s helping mothers all over the world create businesses and lives that actually align with who they are now, not who they used to be.
This conversation is about survival, vision, and the kind of grounded success that doesn’t cost you everything you love.
The Myth of Balance (and What to Seek Instead)
We've all heard it: "You just need better balance." But as Ebonee shares, that advice rarely helps. In fact, it often adds pressure to already overloaded moms trying to juggle everything at once. In this episode, she unpacks why balance is not only unrealistic but also a myth that sets us up to fail. Instead, she invites us to consider alignment: a way of building life and business that supports our actual energy, priorities, and season of life.
You’ll hear how this simple but radical mindset shift helped her go from survival mode to truly thriving, both as a mother and as a business owner.
Reclaiming Time with Anchors
Routines can be helpful—until they become one more thing you're failing at. That’s why Ebonee uses "anchors" instead. These aren't productivity hacks. They're sacred, stabilizing moments built into her day that create rhythm and calm amidst the chaos. Think: family dinner at 5:30, quiet time at her altar, and even half an hour of Netflix in the car while the baby cries it out. She explains how these anchors became a lifeline after burnout, and how you can build your own no-matter-what moments into your day to feel more grounded and present.
What Happens When You Let Go of Who You Were
Postpartum isn’t just about physical healing—it's about identity. Ebonee gets honest about the grief of no longer recognizing yourself, and the freedom that came when she stopped trying to "bounce back" to who she was before motherhood. Instead of chasing an old version of herself, she began listening to the woman she was becoming. Through practices like visualization, grounding, and spiritual baths, she slowly rebuilt a sense of self rooted in this new chapter. If you’ve ever felt lost in the transition, this part of the conversation will speak to your soul.
From Real Estate to Real Impact
On paper, Ebonee had made it: a successful corporate career, followed by a multi-million dollar real estate business. But something still felt off. Deep down, she knew she was meant to work directly with women navigating the same shifts she had just walked through. So she followed the nudge, let go of what was "working," and launched The Mompreneur Hub—a space where mothers can vision, rebuild, and grow businesses that reflect who they really are. It wasn’t easy. But as you’ll hear in this episode, it was everything.
