Building a Business That Aligns with Your Values-Even When Life Changes Everything

If you’ve ever looked at your child’s care options and thought, “This isn’t enough,” this episode will hit home. Shavon St. Germain saw a gap in early childhood development and decided to fill it—not just for her daughter, but for her entire community. What started as one mom’s determination to provide better care became a thriving, education-focused daycare that’s supported families for over 13 years.

In this episode, Shavon shares her powerful journey from speech therapist to entrepreneur, opening up about the moment she realized she couldn’t go back to a traditional job and the leap of faith it took to create the kind of childcare she couldn’t find. From licensing decisions to surprise twins that fast-tracked her expansion, she offers a vulnerable and inspiring look at building a business rooted in purpose and passion.

Key takeaways to listen for: 

Build what you wish existed. Shavon created the kind of daycare she wanted for her daughter—one that nurtured both emotional and academic growth.

Trust the vision, even when it’s scary. Leaving a steady job with bills to pay wasn’t easy, but trusting her purpose helped Shavon take bold steps forward.

Word of mouth is powerful when your service is personal. Shavon’s daycare grew because parents saw and felt her dedication—and shared it with their village.

Catch the full conversation and be inspired by Shavon’s story of courage, community, and creating a legacy of care.
