Episode Synopsis
Tell us what you think!!!Join Ellie for this week’s episode of A Day In Her Life with Andrea Wightwick—entrepreneur, Substack writer, and mom of two living in Atlanta. Andrea shares what her integrated, bold, and fun days look like as she juggles family life with building her non-alcoholic cocktail brand Hapsy, after years of experience in CPG.From mindful mornings and carpool spreadsheets to Friday “tacos and tequila” dates and middle-school bedtime check-ins, Andrea offers an honest look at the structure, chaos, and joy of raising teens and growing businesses.In this episode, we discuss:Career Evolution: From Pepsi and Nielsen to launching her own non-alcoholic cocktail company, and why she’s focused on sustainable, joy-filled growth.Work Rhythms: Strategy Mondays, meeting-heavy midweeks, and “playing hooky” Fridays for hikes, errands, or solo creative time, by building the company she wants to work for.Partnership & Parenting: How she and her husband divide household duties, plan meals via shared calendars, and balance business ownership with family life.Teen Parenting Transitions: Letting kids lead bedtime, using email “training wheels” to build real-world skills, and reframing family connection.Friendship & Connection: Why she believes in “rage walks,” voice memos, and bringing back “sit-com-ing” (dropping by a friend’s house for a quick porch chat).AI in Everyday Life: How Andrea uses AI tools like Grammarly, Claude, and ChatGPT (“Chatty”) to brainstorm, edit, and streamline work while keeping a human touch.Letting Go: Dropping the glass ball of Thanksgiving and embracing the holiday in her own way with her family.Andrea’s story is a grounded, empowering reminder that success doesn’t have to mean burnout—and that joy, structure, and purpose can all fit in one life.Follow Andrea@andreawightwickAndrea’s Substack - The Business of AdultingHapsyReferencesRoots AppGreenlightListen and ReviewPodcasts - Spotify - YouTubeMore A Day In Her Life@adayinherlifepodadayinherlife.comadayinherlife.substack.comLooking for your next romance read?
