What My Son Remembers About Me Building a Business
In this episode of Beyond the Big Agencies , Elise sits down with her oldest son, Hayden, for a candid conversation about what it was actually like growing up while she built her career and eventually her business. They talk about the things Hayden remembers from those early years, what working from home meant for their family, how he viewed Elise’s career growth, and whether the mom guilt so many women carry actually matched his experience as her child. Hayden also shares how watching his mom work, grow, take risks, and continually raise the standard influenced his own views on discipline, success, and progression. For any mom who has ever wondered, Am I working too much? Are my kids going to resent this? Am I missing something I can’t get back? — this conversation offers a perspective we don’t hear nearly enough: the child’s.
