{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Maids Who Made It Podcast","slug":"maidswhomadeit","podcastDescription":"

Maids Who Made It is the podcast for cleaning business owners who are tired of burnout, chaos, and feeling like they’re carrying it all alone.

Hosted by Cheryl Hajjar, cleaning business owner turned coach, this show delivers real talk on scaling a residential cleaning business, hiring employees, setting boundaries with clients, building systems, increasing profit, and developing the mindset required to lead.

No fluff. No “just work harder.” Just honest conversations about the messy middle of entrepreneurship, burnout, fear, growth, leadership, and what it actually takes to build a sustainable cleaning company.

If you’re a cleaning business owner ready to grow, strengthen your leadership, and stop running your company in survival mode, this is your corner. We get knocked down. We build better systems. And we come back stronger. Subscribe and step into the ring.
