Reclaim time & reduce the emotional tax: Two Raw Sisters on building a business that works for you
Open for Small BusinessShow Notes
In this season two opener of Open for Small Business, Bridget sits down with Rosa Power and Margo Flanagan - the powerhouse founders of Two Raw Sisters - for an honest conversation about the emotional cost of building a business.
Known for their “intelligently lazy” approach to cooking and their five best‑selling cookbooks, the sisters have built a thriving brand by helping Kiwis save time, eat well and keep things simple.
But behind the success lies a familiar reality for many small business owners: long days, personal sacrifices, and the constant feeling of being “always on”.
In this episode, Rosa and Margo open up about the emotional tax they’ve paid along the way - the moments they’ve missed, the burnout signals they ignored, and the turning points that forced them to rethink how they worked.
Together, they explore practical ways to work smarter, create better boundaries, navigate end of financial year pressures, and reduce the stress that holds so many small business owners back. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
