The Brand Mama Podcast
Welcome to the Brand Mama Podcast, a space for the modern day mamapreneur to connect with other mom-owned businesses and find guidance in how to strengthen your brand.
I'm your host, Maddy Hazen – a self taught brand & website designer, creative director, and fellow mamapreneur. As the founder of Pais + Haze Creative Co., I have designed for nearly 100 brands, so I know a thing or two about marketing. As a boy mom to a toddler, I also know a thing or two about navigating motherhood. My business experienced a major shift when we started our family, so I know firsthand what it’s like to be trying to be all the things all the time. This podcast is a safe space for authenticity, where we can talk about the real challenges that come with being both a devoted mom and a driven business owner.
You know the saying, ‘you’re never too old to need your mom’? Well, the same can be true in business. Everyone needs a little guidance, accountability, and community. You’re an impressive business owner, but maybe not a branding expert — so I’m here to make it feel a little less daunting and lonely. I will keep it real, offering down-to-earth advice on branding, design, marketing, and social media strategies without industry jargon. It's like having a mentor, therapist, and friend all rolled into one — a Brand Mama!
I won’t pretend to have all the answers in this ever changing landscape, because I am constantly learning, growing, and improving how to balance being a working mom. While I will share insight into my area of expertise in branding & marketing, I am not here to give you a blueprint to follow. I hope you feel inspired and empowered, but never intimidated or inadequate. You can let go of the imposter syndrome, pressure, and comparison game here.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a seasoned business owner, or a stay-at-home mom with dreams of starting your own venture, this podcast is for you. With a mixture of guest interviews and solo episodes, there will be something for everyone.
So, go make an iced coffee and join me as we dive into all things business and motherhood! Thank you for being here!

03: Raising Kids, Building Careers, and Supporting Friends with Realtor Danielle Doty (Pt. 1)
It's my first guest episode! Join me as I sit down with my good friend and realtor Danielle Doty as we chat about the delicate balance of raising kids, building careers, and the importance of supporting one another.
As close friends, we've shared countless conversations about the nuances of motherhood so I knew I wanted to have her on to talk all about it. Danielle's ability to embrace and navigate the distinct worlds of being both a homemaker and a career-oriented woman is so encouraging and she always has a fresh take on situations I don't often hear from other people.
We dive deep into the world of modern motherhood and having the liberty to make choices that align with your values, regardless of expectations. Danielle shares her own journey from stay-at-home mom to successful career woman all while raising good humans. We also talk about the power of supporting our female friends and their businesses.
This is only Part 1 of our conversation, so stay tuned for Part 2 coming your way next week!
