Episode 35: Danielle Bettmann
Our guest this week is an early childhood specialist. Wait! We know you’re here for mom-related content, and we guarantee this episode brings it.
Danielle Bettmann puts her whole heart into her work. Her company is even named Wholeheartedly. She wants families to have the tools needed for success, and if you’re still thinking, “This sure sounds like parenting content…” we ask you to give it a listen.

Part of creating a plan for your family is incorporating your own wellbeing and your professional goals. If you’ve hung around our podcast for any time, you know values are a big deal, and Danielle talked to us about incorporating those values into our Family Business Plans.
As moms, we often put ourselves last. Danielle encourages finding what makes you, you. She helped us look at the concept of following passions as something productive, and necessary, rather than as a luxury.
(And as a little bonus, Danielle basically provided us with a mini-counseling session during which we both had revelations that will help us in moving forward. Wooohooo!)
