Nobody talks about the bit in between. Not the exciting launch, not the "we made it" moment. Just the long, unglamorous stretch where you're building something real while running on broken sleep and blind faith. That's where Nikki and Sophia are right now, and this episode they're not pretending otherwise.

From midnight wake-ups and toddlers who insist on driving the car, to turning 41 wondering if you have your life together, to that very specific startup feeling of being so close and so far at the same time, this one's for anyone in the thick of it.

Because parenting and building a business? Turns out they're not that different. It's the same stubbornness, the same "I can't quit now," the same slow, hard, beautiful progress you almost miss while you're living it.

If you've been waiting for someone to say "same" instead of "here's how I scaled to seven figures by Thursday," pull up a seat.

In this episode:

• Messy moments: poster frights, car-seat standoffs, and the 3am guilt spiral
• Why you never hear about the middle of the story
• Turning 41 mid-startup and questioning everything (briefly)
• "This too shall pass" and why we actually believe it
• Building The Village Co., their fifth baby
