What’s the difference between creating a job for yourself… and building a business that can thrive without you?

In this candid conversation, Kristina Babina — founder of TotUP, a growing chain of private daycares in Switzerland — breaks down what it really means to think like an entrepreneur. She shares why scaling matters, how systems give you freedom, and why fighting for change at the government level is part of her mission to make childcare more accessible.

Kristina’s no-nonsense approach is a reminder that growth isn’t just about hustle — it’s about clarity, bigger vision, and building something that lasts.

👋 WHO AM I?

Hey, I’m Manouchka Elefant, a business coach for mompreneurs with 15+ years in marketing. After becoming a mom, I quickly realized that building a business with kids in the mix takes more than ambition. It takes clear strategy, honest support, and the kind of accountability that helps you actually follow through.

That’s what led me to create Hey Boss Mama, a space where we talk honestly about business, motherhood, mindset, and what it really takes to stop doubting and start executing. If you’re into real talk, smarter marketing, and support that helps you stop doubting and move forward, hit follow for the latest Hey Boss Mama episodes.
