Hello! This is The Book of Balance Podcast. I’m your host, Patricia Oholeguy. I’m a lifelong entrepreneur, bookkeeper, and financial coach. After running a successful childcare business for 17 years and teaching college courses on how to start and run a childcare business, I realized what truly lights me up is helping entrepreneurs bring clarity and confidence to their numbers through my Clarity Compass™ Method.
This podcast is about real small business stories, the wins, the losses, and everything in between. You’ll hear why entrepreneurs chose to leave the 9–5 grind, what pushed them to start their own businesses, and how they’ve navigated the ups and downs of building something from scratch. It’s also about creating balance, because running a business shouldn’t cost you your sanity.
You can expect new episodes each week, filled with inspiring conversations from small business owners, consultants, and entrepreneurs who are walking the path. Some will share startup success stories, while others will open up about the hard lessons they’ve learned along the way. Together, these stories will remind you that you’re not alone, and that every setback can be a stepping stone toward growth.
I started this podcast because I know firsthand how isolating entrepreneurship can feel. When I stepped out of the 9–5 path myself, I wanted a community, a place where stories were shared openly, not just the shiny highlight reels, but the messy middle too. This show is my way of giving you that space: honest, practical, and grounded in clarity.
My hope is that as you listen, you’ll feel inspired, supported, and more confident in your own journey. I want you to walk away with real takeaways you can apply to your business, but also with the reassurance that balance and entrepreneurship can go hand in hand.
So, grab your headphones and hit subscribe. It’s time for The Book of Balance Podcast, where we trade the 9–5 grind for entrepreneurship, and learn how to thrive as balanced business owners.
