Carrie Colbert, founder of Curate Capital, shares her experience of motherhood and entrepreneurship. After having her first child at 40, she shifted her priorities from a demanding executive lifestyle in the energy sector to focusing on her family and business. Colbert emphasizes that women cannot 'do it all at once,' and suggests relying on outsourcing and organized scheduling to manage responsibilities. She reflects on the transformative impact of motherhood on her work-life balance, stating her evenings are now dedicated to her children.
I started investing as an angel investor for five years before launching my own venture capital fund, Curate Capital, in 2020.
Women get told we can do it all, but I don't think we can do it all at once. We have to adjust our expectations and priorities for various seasons of life.
Now, my work schedule is based on my kids' schedules, and my evenings are reserved for them.
In this season of my life, I have two priorities: building my business and raising my children. Everything gets filtered through those two priorities.
