OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode of Matcha Moms, I’m speaking with Katie Hurd — coach, entrepreneur, and mother of two — about the realities of building a business while raising children in Japan.
Katie shares her journey from corporate life into entrepreneurship, what it was like to grow a business during maternity leave, and how her life and work changed after becoming a single mother of two sons.
We talk openly about the challenges behind the scenes: navigating the Japanese childcare system as a self-employed mother, balancing financial pressure and family life, creating structure in everyday chaos, and learning when to ask for support.
This conversation is an honest look at resilience, self-organization, motherhood, and the emotional and practical realities of building a career while raising a family abroad.
In this episode, we cover:
- Building a business during maternity leave
- Entrepreneurship and motherhood in Japan
- Life as a single mother of two
- Outsourcing, support systems, and self-organization
- Advice for mothers considering entrepreneurship
- The importance of resilience, mindfulness, and self-care
