S2 | E4: Michele Romanow: What Motherhood Teaches Us About Leadership
In this episode of Raise It Up, I sit down in person with entrepreneur and new mom Michele Romanow for a clear and practical conversation about growth in both business and motherhood. Michele shares why challenges never disappear, how resilience is built through repetition and curiosity, and why founders who move quickly and stay engaged with the process tend to thrive. She also reflects on the key experiences that strengthened her confidence as a leader and what she looks for when evaluating strong entrepreneurs.
We also talk about her first months of motherhood, including breastfeeding hurdles, filming Dragons’ Den shortly after birth and the identity shifts that happen when you want to be fully present at home, while still building and advising. Michele offers a grounded perspective on support systems, focus, and how she hopes to raise her daughter to be brave and thoughtful in a world that is rapidly evolving with AI. The conversation brings together the honest and actionable realities of entrepreneurship and the early chapters of motherhood.
Tune in and share this episode with another female entrepreneur in your community who would appreciate it!
