Send us a text

What happens when you’re a single mom, your life needs a reset, and you decide you’re done waiting for permission? In this episode of The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast, Angela sits down with Rebekah Higgs (DIY MOM)—a creator, renovator, designer, and former indie musician who rebuilt her life (and her career) by embracing the “make it happen” mindset.

Rebekah shares her powerful pivot from a struggling musician and waitress to building the DIY MOM brand, landing a TV series, and creating opportunities through resilience, creativity, and showing up imperfectly. This conversation is a refreshing reminder that you don’t need perfect conditions—you need the next brave step.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

• How Rebekah transitioned from music to film, content creation, and building the DIY MOM brand as a single parent
• Why “good enough” creates momentum and how letting go of perfection helps you move forward
• What it really looks like to build a business when income is inconsistent—and how to develop the entrepreneur mindset to handle it
• How Rebekah thinks about feminist entrepreneurship, scarcity vs. abundance, and being a trailblazer (even when others profit from the path you helped create)
• The practical strategy that protects your creativity: outsourcing, delegating, and making space for real rest
• How Rebekah models work ethic, values, and generosity for her daughter—and why community impact matters
• A powerful reflection for mompreneurs: don’t just follow passion—identify your talents (and ask others what they see in you)

Favorite Takeaways

• Perfection is a trap—progress is built through imperfect action and learning in public.
• Creativity requires space—burnout blocks vision, so build support systems sooner than you think you “deserve” them.
• Clarify your next step by naming your talents—sometimes the fastest path forward is what you’re already naturally good at.
