Hey, I’m Francheska 👋

And yes — I launched my podcast with a toddler, a full-time job, and zero team.

This wasn’t some glamorous, well-funded studio launch.

This was me… recording from a 70×70 inch corner in my living room, with black curtains for lighting, a cheap rug to reduce echo (thank you hardwood floors 🙃), and a toddler’s playpen next to me.

And it worked.

Not because I had a perfect plan.

But because I had a message — and I decided to stop waiting for the “right time” to share it.

Actually, my first two did.

The first one was about being a paralegal.

The second was an entertainment show with my best friend — until life got lifey. She started nursing school and became a new mom, and the show died before it found its rhythm.

I was stuck for months.

But then… I started messaging moms in a Facebook group. Just trying to make mom friends. And I realized:

These women? They’re me. They’re creative. They’re exhausted. They have ideas — and no idea where to start. That’s when 9 to 5 Mom with a Pod was born.
