You Don’t Have to Choose: Ashley Campos on Balancing Leadership and Motherhood

In this candid episode, Ashley Campos—entrepreneur, CEO, and mom—joins us to challenge the outdated belief that women must choose between career ambition and motherhood. Ashley shares her personal turning point that redefined how she leads both at home and in business. From scaling a company in the demanding food and logistics industries to being fully present as a mother, Ashley breaks down how integrating roles instead of compartmentalizing them can be a game-changer.

We unpack myths around virtual teams, explore the realities of burnout, and get honest about what "balance" really looks like. If you're trying to grow a business and raise a family, this is your sign to stop apologizing and start redefining success on your terms.

Key Takeaways:

• Balancing leadership and motherhood is less about time management and more about value alignment.

• Outsourcing doesn’t mean losing control—it means building capacity for growth.

• You don’t have to do everything perfectly; 90% done by someone else can be better than 100% done by you.

• Creating memories with your children can be just as important as closing a deal.

• High-performing teams thrive when leaders build for the future, not just the now.
