Michelle Bedoya Barnett
Alexander DeGance Barnett, P.A.
Granada mom Michelle Barnett always dreamed of owning her own law firm. How that law firm turned out was much different than how she’d first envisioned it, though.
“It didn’t turn out to be in the little Victorian house on Main Street in my hometown,” she laughed. “It turned out much different and better in many ways!”
Following the economic downturn in 2007, different areas of the law were struggling. In 2009, Barnett and her partners decided to venture out on their own.
“It started off as an idea, we planned for it, we did it, and it worked!” she said.
While it was a challenging time – Barnett had a newborn at home and was learning how to be a mom – she realizes looking back, there never would have been an easy time to start a business.
“I wish I would have had the confidence then that I have now but you only gain that confidence from experience,” she said.
One of her biggest rewards is being an example for her children.
“I didn’t realize how much joy I would get in hearing my kids say how proud they are of me and my business,” she said. “They are learning invaluable lessons on being organized, watching me juggle a career and a business, and seeing that success comes from hard work.”
Heather Buckman
Cowford Realty & Design
After her twins were born, Heather Buckman got her real estate license and started working at Berkshire Hathaway. After a few years in the industry, she obtained her broker’s license, had another set of twins and took over as owner of Cowford Realty & Design.
“From a small house in Riverside with four agents, we have grown to over 35 agents today, selling almost $100 million/year annually,” she said. “It has been a dream come true.”
In addition to her nine- and 12-year-old twins, Heather also has two grown children.
“The balancing act of juggling multiple demands is something that comes naturally to me,” she laughed. “However, different seasons of life require you to be more present in one capacity or another. Sometimes I have to be ‘all in’ at work, and that means I’m not as present at home. But other times of the year, I’m all in at home and we are out in our camper across the country having amazing adventures.”
Under Heather’s servant leadership style, the dedicated team at Cowford, headquartered at 3651 Park Street, is doing good work in the community.
“Success doesn’t happen by accident, or because you’re a good person and deserve it,” she said. “You have to go out, work twice as hard and twice as long as you thought it would be, and always come from a place of service.”
Bethany Burton DMD
Southern Smiles by Bethany Burton DMD
“Becoming a dentist was a dream of mine from a young age,” shared Dr. Bethany Burton, who owns and operates Southern Smiles at 2522 Oak Street. “I always enjoyed going myself and, as I got older, I realized it was a great way to help others, work with my hands and have a flexible schedule for family life.”
Her practice offers dental services, dental implants, cosmetic dentistry and emergency care. Raising her baby boy, Beth works to balance both work and home.
“It’s important to me to be a present mother, but it is also important to me to be a good leader to my team, my community, and patients,” she said. “All of life is a great balancing act.”
Burton is proud of the example she and her husband are setting for their son.
“It doesn’t have to be family or career, mom or dad chasing their dreams, there is a reality where all can exist,” she said. “It just requires a lot of support and planning.”
Burton is encouraging of other mompreneurs.
“You can do it, don’t worry about those who say you can’t, or you can’t do both well. Few things, if any, can’t be accomplished with hard work and persistence,” she said. “Moms can do anything, and usually one-handed.”
Melanie Dobbins
Emergency Heating and Air, Inc.
Melanie Dobbins had her own career and was taking care of her first son when her husband’s company was sold. Unsatisfied with the new ownership, he thought about starting his own business.
“We considered other areas in his trade but kept coming back to the same option,” she said. “With the support of our family, we made the leap and opened our own company.”
At first, Dobbins kept the books in the evening while she continued working her day job.
“Once the workload became too much for my nights, we made the decision for
me to leave my career and began dedicating full-time for our company,” she said. “All while having our second son and the other beginning school.”
Located on the Westside, Emergency Heating and Air is a professional HVAC installation, service and repair business for residential and light commercial customers.
The business has been embraced by the whole family.
“When the boys were younger, we would give them company shirts in their size,”
she said. “They loved wearing them and were so proud to tell people their parents owned the company.”
Now that her children are nearing their teens, they may not always be as thrilled.
“As the company and our kids grew, talking work with my business partner husband while cooking and over the dinner table became the norm,” she laughed. “This often makes things hectic and boring for the kids… which it should not.”
Renee Fields
Kennedi’s Closet
With a longtime love of shopping and fashion, Renee Fields’ business began with monogramming outfits for her newborn daughter, Kennedi. When friends asked her to make clothing for their children as well, Fields had the idea to start an online store through Etsy.
“I was a teacher with Duval County Schools during the day while making and selling items online in the evening and weekends,” she said.
In just one year, her earnings from her Etsy shop had surpassed her teacher’s salary and she and her husband decided it was time to open a brick-and-mortar storefront.
“I could pinch myself…but here we are, 15 years later,” Fields said.
Located at 4212 Beverly Avenue, Kennedi’s Closet, a children’s boutique, specializes in smocked and monogrammed clothing and accessories.
“I love seeing customers happy,” she said. “We work together to create this unique personalized item, picking out colors and fonts. Seeing them happy with the final product is always rewarding. I’m also thankful that so many of my customers have turned into lifelong friends.”
Although the store stays busy, Fields makes time to go on field trips and be present for her kids.
“They’re only little once and I don’t want to miss anything,” she said.
Sarah Flores
St. John’s Jewelry
When experienced jeweler Sarah Flores learned Frazier Jewelers was closing, she realized it was the opportune time to start her business – one she would name for her father.
“I looked at it as a long-term investment while still being able to serve the Ortega community and its surroundings with a service they had come to expect,” she said.
St. John’s Jewelry, located at 2925 Corinthian Avenue, features fine and custom jewelry, watches and repair and engraving services.
As a new mom, Flores notes that owning a business is like having another child.
“It takes a lot of your energy to get it running the way you want it to and you have to tend to it whenever something is not going well, just like a child,” she said.
When it gets stressful and challenging to manage her time, Flores remembers a saying: “Guilty moms make confused children.”
It has changed her mindset.
“If you’re going to go to work, then go to work confidently,” she said. “Let your kids see your confidence in your decisions and be a part of hearing about what exciting things you did that day.”
Having a supportive partner and being comfortable making decisions no matter what the outcome has been key to Flores’ success.
“I’ve made plenty of mistakes that I wish I could take back,” she said. “But really, they’ve helped me grow and better understand my business.”
Stacey Flores
Fishweir Brewing Company
Stacey Flores found her passion in a shared interest with her husband, who was a chemistry major and avid craft beer home brewer and connoisseur.
“I realized that I could run a craft brewery that embraced a strong sense of community and could be a gathering space for a wide array of patrons,” she said.
Fishweir Brewing Company, located at 1183 Edgewood Avenue South, opened in 2018, when her oldest daughter was only 6 months old. Now with two girls at home, Stacey says she’s learned how to be adaptable and flexible, because plans will always change.
“Initially, I had the thought that everything needs to be done to completion before moving on to another project or business venture, but being a mom and a business owner truly changed that way of thinking,” Flores said.
Fishweir features custom brewed beers and seltzers served in the taproom and Backyard Garden. It also offers wine and nonalcoholic options. Balancing work and home, Flores also takes time for herself “to fill up my own cup.” Her greatest joy is combining her two worlds and “knowing that my girls are growing up watching me run our business as a leader and showing them the confidence to dream big and not letting anything stand in their way of success.”
Cheryl Fluhr
Syrene
Growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Cheryl Fluhr enjoyed visiting museums, and particularly enjoed 20th century art.
“As much as I was fascinated by the artistic process, I also loved to fantasize about what those big colorful pieces would look like in my home,” she said. “I think that was the foundation of my attraction
to bold color and iconic design.”
Fluhr travels frequently and savors discovering treasures along the way. Opening the Syrene boutique, located at 2016 Hendricks Avenue in San Marco, allows her to combine all her passions. “I am truly happy and grateful that I was able to open my business while my daughter, Parker, was still under my roof so that she could see the hard work and commitment firsthand,” she said. “She is a senior this year and headed off to university this fall.”
Fluhr said her favorite part of the business – her sourcing trips to Italy and France – are made even better when her daughter accompanies her.
“I love seeing what kind of products she is attracted to and hearing her perspective,” she said.
As a single parent, Fluhr also works full time as a financial director. “As I get more experienced in my business, I look for every way to work smarter and more efficiently so that I can reserve more space for family time,” she said.
Wendy Gillis
Wendy Gillis Comedy
San Marco mom Wendy Gillis realized her dream during the pandemic.
“It gave me a chance to take a break from the day-to-day of being a college professor and really think about what I would like to do if I could do anything – and that became stand-up comedy.”
After watching countless Netflix stand-up specials, taking online courses and reading comedy books, Gillis hit the open mics and began performing in a few local showcases.
“I am a 50-plus-year-old mom of two teenagers, and I find that a lot of my comedy comes from my day-to-day of raising them,” she said. “Several times, moms come up to me after the show and tell me about their current struggles of raising teenagers, and they thank me for telling my story in such an entertaining way.”
Gillis is joining comedic forces with other moms for a “Mom Com,” benefiting the Betty Griffin Center on May 8.
“Comedy has taught me so much about humility,” she said. “It’s taught me that not every show, not every joke, is going to be a winner and that’s okay. I have also been trying to translate this lesson to the rest of my life as well. We will always have joy and challenges coming our way, and comedy has been a way for me to process both.”
Jen Harbin
Grit Camp
Granada’s Jen Harbin said Grit Camp was born from the desire to pass on “universal, timeless and true success principles that had helped us to the next generation of young people.”
“My husband, Brian, and I wanted to provide a mechanism for motivated young adults to gain experience running a business and building more healthy habits, while having a positive impact on their community,” she added.
In 2020, when Colby Harris and Dylan Tedder joined their team as interns, Harbin said they knew they’d found the perfect fit with such a committed pair of new team members.
“They led their fellow camp counselors in leading the campers to have a blast each day while developing more grit; it has been a spectacular adventure ever since,” Harbin said.
Harbin said witnessing the camp experiences is inspiring.
“There is nothing better than observing the mental, physical, and emotional development of the young people who participate in Grit Camp,” Harbin said. “It is such a gift to watch individuals gain confidence because they challenged themselves out of to their comfort zone.”
Harbin’s advice to business owners is to be selective in who you recruit and hire.
“Work with people who have positive attitudes, integrity, and a strong work ethic,” she said. “Skills can be learned by anyone who is willing to put in the work, so choose people who are accountable.”
Kristy Iuliano
Mixter Nitrogen Creamery + Coffee
Ice cream has always been a family destination for Kristy Iuliano.
“We went out of our way as a family to find as many ice cream shops as possible, some unique, some franchised, and others family-owned and operated,” Iuliano said.
So, when Iuliano started looking into business opportunities as her daughters were preparing for college, she kept coming back to ice cream.
“The family activity of visiting ice cream shops turned into a journey to start my own ice cream business,” she said.
Mixter is located at 3853 Hendricks Avenue in Miramar. It uses liquid nitrogen at -320 degrees to instantly freeze your creamy creation, with mix-ins and toppings of your choosing. Iuliano’s daughters also work in the shop alongside her, where, she said, they gain valuable insight and experience.
“They see me problem-solving, creating, and persevering, which teaches them resilience and creativity, just as they teach me when they offer support and help,” she said.
Iuliano has learned to “embrace the chaos and adapt quickly,” as both business and motherhood can be unpredictable. Perfectly balancing work and family isn’t possible, but that’s okay. Kristy advises, “Embrace flexibility and let go of guilt. Trust that you’re doing your best, and focus on progress, not perfection. Also, prioritize self-care—it’s not selfish; it’s essential for sustaining both your business and your family.”
Enricka James
MamaSita’s Décor and Six in the City Vintage Shop
Enricka “Rik” James loves celebrating birthdays.
“I don’t remember having birthday parties as a child, only maybe cake and cupcakes at school, which I am still very grateful for, but growing up, that really stuck with me,” she said. “So, as an adult, I’m the one who brings the party to the party.”
MamaSita’s Decor specializes in balloon arches and garlands for any budget. James also owns Six in The City vintage clothing and accessories shop at 1110 Edgewood Avenue South in Murray Hill.
“Both of my businesses are very flexible,” she said. “My greatest joy is being able to take my kids with me to work and them seeing what Mommy can do. I hope to inspire them to be creative and bring joy to others as I have.”
While James had the innate creativity for her businesses, she is a self-taught entrepreneur.
“In the beginning, I was really winging it. I only knew what I learned from social media and YouTube,” she said. “I knew how to create for my business, but I didn’t know how to run a business.”
After sticking with it and not giving up, no matter what challenges she faced, one valuable lesson learned, that James can now share with confidence, is: “Never forget your worth as a business owner.”
Skye Johnson
Tri With Skye
San Jose stay-at-home mom Skye Johnson discovered and joined a fitness group called Stroller Strength. Exercise was a way for her to give back to herself and she said she fell in love with fitness and goal setting.
“Because of the goal setting and achievements inspired by that group, I signed up and completed an Ironman triathlon,” Johnson said. “I knew that if I could do it, anyone could, and Tri with Skye was born.”
Johnson has been coaching women through their first triathlons since 2011. Her program is eight weeks of group swim, bike and run sessions, plus weekly Zoom calls and group training plan emails. She works early hours to be available to her kids when they are out of school.
“I set boundaries on when I work and when I don’t because work has a tricky way of seeping into spare and precious family time if you let it,” she said. Johnson is so passionate about her job, it often doesn’t feel like work. She realizes now that that passion initially caused her to undercharge for her services.
“If you don’t charge your worth, you will end up burnt out and resentful of your work,” she advised.
Nicosia Jones
Sweet Girl’s Bakery
Beginning her career as a nurse, Nicosia Jones enjoyed having a positive impact on people. After several years, however, Jones felt herself starting to burn out. It was time for a change.
“Baking was just something that was always very cathartic and something that I found a lot of peace and joy in,” she said. “So when the opportunity presented itself to pivot from nursing to baking, I decided to just step out on faith and take a chance.”
Sweet Girl’s Bakery, at 5907 Roosevelt Blvd., specializes in custom cakes, brownies, cinnamon rolls and dozens of flavors of cookies and macarons. You can enjoy a treat with coffee or tea in the shop, or go online to pick out something yummy to ship nationwide as a thoughtful gift.
Jones balances time with her family by being their “biggest cheerleader,” while following her ambition to grow her business.
“My greatest joy is being able to build something that I can leave to my children,” she said. “It allows them to see me following my dreams, which will hopefully inspire them to follow theirs.”
Megan Kolar
All I Saw Photography
Megan Kolar bought a DSLR camera when her oldest child was born and let it sit unused for 10 years. When the pandemic hit, she pulled it out of storage and built a small studio in her San Marco living room.
“I had three little models by then – Val, Shelby, and Eli – and access to a ton of online tutorials,” she said. “I have a great group of friends who let me take pictures of their families, which helped hone my craft. Eventually, I decided to take the leap and start a side business that would allow me to keep doing something I love, and give families an affordable way to capture special times in their lives.”
Kolar loves the creative aspect of photography. She continues learning about the craft she knows she can do forever. She said it’s also rewarding for her to show her children she’s a “multi-dimensional human” and how to be resilient. She encourages others with a passion for entrepreneurship to follow their dreams.
“I would tell new business owners to know their worth and not be afraid to charge for it. There is so much that happens in my business outside of just taking pictures – post processing, curating albums, continuing education, and more,” she said. “And most importantly, I would tell new mom-preneurs to have fun!”
Stacey Maurer
Sweetheart Boutique
With a combination of personal experience and passion, Stacey Maurer opened Sweetheart Boutique at 1500 King Street, a lingerie shop where women could feel seen, celebrated and supported.
“I had my own moments of feeling uncomfortable or unwelcome while shopping, and I knew I wasn’t alone in that,” she said.
Maurer said something that truly stuck with her was the fact that many women are wearing the wrong bra size without realizing it and she wanted to rectify that.
“The right fit can completely change how you feel, not just physically, but emotionally too,” Maurer said. “So I wanted to offer professional fittings, real bra education and a welcoming environment where women could feel confident and cared for, no matter their shape, size, or life stage.”
Although it can be a challenge to balance motherhood and business ownership, Stacey has learned how to give herself grace, ask for help and be okay with things not being perfect.
“The greatest joy is hands down showing my kids what it looks like to follow your heart and build something with purpose. They see the hard work, but they also see the love behind it,” she said. “And when they get excited about the shop or say they’re proud of me—it melts me every time.”
Dawn Ritter
Makes Perfect Scents
Like so many others, Dawn Ritter was looking for ways to stay busy during the pandemic. That search led to a purchase of mason jars to attempt making jam or canning vegetables. The idea struck to make candles instead.
“I’ve always loved scents—especially since my other job at the time was scent-related—so I ordered some cotton wicks and began experimenting,” Ritter said.
Ritter began giving her candles to her friends and she said their positive feedback and support inspired her to transform her pandemic hobby into a business. Though Ritter began with candles, she also makes fragrances for the home and the body. Her ingredients are high quality and responsibly sourced to be safe for you and the environment.
“Once I learned about the toxic chemicals often found in store-bought candles, I dove into research and became passionate about creating cleaner-burning, healthier alternatives,” Ritter said.
Ritter launched her company after about nine months of testing and refining. Today, she sells at local markets in area neighborhoods and online. Her greatest joy comes from seeing how her products positively impact others.
“There’s no better feeling than hearing a customer say that a candle I created helped them relax or brought them comfort,” she said. “Knowing that something I made with my own hands can bring someone joy fills me with pride and purpose.”
Amelia Smith
A.WordSmith Communications
Amelia Smith founded her San Marco-based marketing-communications agency – a certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprise – in 2016 after the birth of her second child.
“My career has always played an important part of my identity, but I wanted more flexibility and balance in managing my professional and personal life,” Smith said. “I started small, with a single client, and have grown the business over the past near decade to include multiple retained clients and steady project work. It’s been extremely rewarding watching A.WordSmith grow alongside my family.”
While it was a leap of faith to leave behind a steady career in the corporate world, Smith’s perseverance and success, rooted in her passion and skills, enabled her business to survive the economic downturn related to the pandemic and steadily grow over the years. Smith noted that focusing on a specialty rather than general services has proven fruitful for her company.
“Often new business owners want to serve any client with too many capabilities, versus really honing the service portfolio to support niche markets,” she said. “Today I specialize in marketing-communications for the marine/transportation sector, with a strong cross-over in robotics. My knowledge and experience in these areas have made me a ‘go-to’ provider and help me speak my clients’ language, while providing highly tailored services that meet their unique needs.”
Kristin Solomon
Solomon Ventures
Kristin Solomon didn’t expect to stay long-term when she first joined her father at Solomon Ventures. Formerly the owner of The Maternity Shoppe of San Marco, Solomon joined her dad in 2012.
“…We work so well together [and] it’s been rewarding to work alongside him,” Solomon said.
Through their freight salvage business, the father-daughter duo operate a retail store at 1650 Art Museum Drive that sells groceries, clothing, home goods, appliances and more at wholesale prices.
“Working in a family business has allowed me to have the necessary flexibility to be there for my kids,” she said “I was able to attend their school events and sports activities, or stay home with them when they were sick.”
Solomon also recognizes that her children have grown up with a sense of community from being around the business.
“Our customers and employees have a lot to do with that,” she said. “There’s a lot of love there that makes the challenges worthwhile.”
To other moms, Solomon advises to only take on what you want.
“Don’t be afraid to say ‘no’ or ‘not now.’ Don’t compare yourself with others,” she said. “Do what’s best for you and your kids and go for it!”
Kate Spilsbury
Mere
After spending more than eight years in corporate America, Kate Spilsbury realized it was time to make a change.
“I had a toddler and was working an obscene number of hours,” she said. “I realized I was sacrificing too much of my family life building someone else’s dream.”
Seven years later, this Ortega mom of two is an independent and licensed insurance agent and owner of Mere, which assists individuals and employers with health coverage, life insurance and supplemental products.
“My kids are involved in so many fun ways—whether it’s modeling for our materials, attending events, or just showing up in client conversations,” she said. “It’s fulfilling to be an example to them that women can chase their dreams and work hard for what matters.”
Spilsbury advises aspiring mompreneurs to join the local Chamber and the Jacksonville Women’s Business Center.
“I wish I had found a mentor early on—I had to figure everything out on my own, and it was incredibly lonely those first few years without a support network,” she said. “Now I know there are so many groups and resources available, many of them free, to help business owners connect and grow. That’s part of why I’m writing a book: to guide other moms through what I wish someone had shared with me.”
Courtney Stoner
ASID, Courtney Stoner Interior Design, Inc.
Granada resident Courtney Stoner always knew she wanted to own her own business. Before that happened, though, she spent a decade working for an interior design firm, where she gained invaluable insight.
“…During that time, I had the privilege of learning from an incredible mentor who truly inspired me,” she said.
After 10 years, however, she decided it was time to take a leap of faith and use her gained experience to launch her own design business.
“It was one of the scariest but most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made,” she said.
Juggling all the demands of running her own business while being a mom to three boys can be tough. Stoner said it’s an unending balancing act, but one filled with purpose and love.
Two secrets to her success are waking up early and having a supportive system of family and friends.
“I wake up 30 to 45 minutes before my kids,” Stoner said.
Those quiet moments in the early morning give her the chance to get grounded, get organized and be present once her boys wake up.
“It sets the tone for a calmer, more intentional day,” she added.
Stoner also advised to “choose your village wisely.”
“It truly takes a village and having a circle that you can lean on—and that can lean on you—makes all the difference,” she added.
Lauren Thompson
Lauren’s Luscious Bites
Avondale resident Lauren Thompson has always loved to cook and entertain for her family and friends and she transformed that passion into a small business.
“When I left the corporate world, I decided that cooking for others could be a good way to express my creativity and hopefully make a bit of money,” she said.
Her catering service offers a variety of dishes for different occasions, including dinner parties, showers, business lunches and celebrations. One of her specialties is custom-designed charcuterie boards. Thompson also offers a weekly three-course Family Meal with free pick-up or a $5 delivery to zip codes 32205 and 32210.
“My greatest joy of having my own business is being able to be around for my children, set my own hours, and be creative with what I cook,” she said. “I really enjoy providing fresh home-cooked meals and catering to this incredible neighborhood.”
While it can be challenging to manage her time to balance her family and her business, Thompson advises other moms who want to start a business to just go for it.
“If there is something that you enjoy doing and are good at, make the leap and see where it takes you,” she said.
Heather Tritt
Guardian & Senior Care Services
For Avondale mom Heather Tritt, starting a business was deeply personal and full of purpose.
“As a mom, I’ve always had that natural instinct to care, to advocate, to protect,” she said. “When I entered the world of guardianship and social work, I realized how many vulnerable individuals didn’t have that kind of voice or support.”
That realization pushed Tritt to launch her own business rooted in compassion and integrity – two characteristics that reflect the care she’d want for her own family. Being a mompreneur provides Tritt flexibility and the ability to build something her children could appreciate.
“When I tell them about my work—how I help protect someone’s rights, ensure they’re cared for, or advocate for their dignity—I take pride in that,” she said. “They can see it’s truly making a difference.”
“Guardianship and social work can be heavy, and balancing that with motherhood isn’t always easy,” she said. “Some days I’m emotionally drained, but I still have to show up fully at home. But even in those moments, I remember why I do this—and that fuels me forward.”
Her support system is also vital. “This work takes heart, and sometimes that heart gets tired,” she said. “Having a support system—whether it’s a mentor, a team, or just a friend who checks in—makes all the difference.”
Ashley Summers Worsham
Fine Artist
After attending art school in South Florida, Ashley Summers Worsham got involved in the film and advertising industries.
“My work with entertainment publications gave me invaluable experience and connections, which I later used to start a business partnership focused on developing books and television shows,” she said.
After a few years, when she discovered she was expecting twins, Worsham decided to take a break from these projects, which she said was a blessing in disguise because it allowed her the opportunity to revisit her true passion: painting.
“Since then, I’ve been exploring new avenues in fine art and am now preparing to re-enter the art world as a fine artist,” Worsham said.
Each piece of art Worsham creates holds a special connection for her and fulfills her passion for creativity. Today, Worsham lives in Granada. The biggest challenge for her is finding the time and space for her art while caring for her four children.
“Despite this, I make it a priority to carve out time each day to dedicate to my craft and achieve my artistic goals,” Worsham said. “Life can be even more fulfilling when you nurture both your family and your passion at the same time.”
