Introduction
In this podcast episode, Maike dives into one of the most frequently asked questions: "How did you build a business as a single mom?" This question resonates with many who are navigating the challenging yet rewarding journey of entrepreneurship, especially while raising a child. She shares her personal story, the role of Human Design in her life, and how she built a thriving business in just three years.
Highlights
The Beginnings: A Struggling Business and Overwhelm
She started her entrepreneurial journey with a sustainable underwear brand. However, despite her best efforts, it wasn't yielding the desired results. She was overwhelmed, exhausted, and struggling to manage the business while caring for her newborn daughter, who was later diagnosed with ADHD.
This period of her life was filled with stress and sleepless nights. My daughter’s erratic sleep patterns and the demands of a new business took a toll on my mental and physical health.
Discovering Human Design: A Turning Point
One night, amidst the chaos, she stumbled upon Human Design. It was a late-night revelation that transformed her perspective. Learning about her Human Design type (Projector) was a lightbulb moment. She realized that her previous business efforts failed not because She wasn't capable but because she wasn't aligned with her true self.
This discovery marked the beginning of a significant transformation. She delved deeper into Human Design, which provided a new framework for understanding herself and her strengths.
Transition and Growth: Building a New Path
As she embraced her Human Design, she decided to let go of the unsustainable business and explore a new path. In February 2020, She underwent training in Human Design, which coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This unique moment in history provided the space and time needed to focus entirely on her new venture.
The pandemic, while challenging, became a period of profound growth. She began creating content, conducting readings, and building a community. The flexibility of running a service-based business allowed her to balance work with motherhood, adapting her schedule to meet both her daughter's needs and her energy levels.
Overcoming Challenges and Finding Success
Starting a business during a global crisis wasn't easy. However, She was determined to make it work. She focused on producing high-quality content, engaging with her audience, and constantly improving her understanding of Human Design.
The key to her success was consistency and a deep belief in her work. She maintained strict policies and boundaries, ensuring that her business was treated with the respect it deserved. This approach not only helped in growing her business but also in building self-worth and confidence.

Building a business as a single mom, especially during a global pandemic, was a journey filled with challenges and breakthroughs.
