About the Host

Manouchka Elefant

Coach for Mompreneurs

Hey! I’m Manouchka Elefant—a digital marketing expert, entrepreneur, and mom navigating the beautiful chaos of balancing family and business.

In 2020, I launched my marketing agency to help businesses thrive online. But when I became a mom in 2023, everything shifted. My business model no longer aligned with the life I wanted for my family. As I navigated the challenges of entrepreneurship and motherhood, I realized how little practical support exists for mompreneurs—women striving to build successful businesses while raising children.

That’s when I discovered my true calling: empowering mompreneurs to thrive!

Drawing from my own experiences and the lessons I’ve learned along the way, I’ve created a podcast, mastermind, and coaching program to provide the tools, strategies, and supportive community that moms like you deserve.
