The Life of And podcast is for high-achieving women and working parents who are ready to stop living a life of “have to” and start designing a life they actually want. It’s a space where we talk honestly about the things we’re often afraid to admit — even to ourselves. The exhaustion. The ambition. The loneliness. The joy. The tension of wanting more without losing yourself in the process. If you’re in the thick of it — feeling stretched, tired, hopeful, driven — this is your invitation to t ...

Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here, and today we’re bringing you another incredible story straight from our Rainmaker community. If you’ve ever wondered how to build a business while balancing a full-time job, a busy family, and, well… life, this episode is for you! We’re chatting with Jolene Lewke, a wife, mom of three, and entrepreneur who’s been building her brand in the late-night hours—after the kids are in bed.
Jolene didn’t start her Rainmaker journey looking to quit her job. She actually loves what she does. But she saw an opportunity for extra income, a little “fun money,” and the potential to create something meaningful for her family’s future. In this episode, she shares how she went from knowing nothing about Amazon FBA to hitting huge sales milestones—like selling out completely on Black Friday!
We also dive into the challenges she faced (like realizing her first product idea was patented after sourcing samples 😬), what kept her going, and the big lessons she’s learned along the way. Plus, Jolene shares how she’s reinvesting all of her earnings back into her business to scale even bigger, with dreams of hiring a VA and expanding her brand, Rural Roots Mercantile.
If you’re juggling family, work, and business dreams, let Jolene’s story be your reminder that it’s possible. Tune in to hear how she’s making it work—and how you can, too!
