Business is Parenting - The Wounds We Carry Into Our Companies I With Hina Siddiqui

We don’t just run our businesses with strategy.

We run them with the invisible scripts we absorbed in childhood.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I share how my own upbringing — with a mother who valued safety above expression, and a father who struggled with money — created wounds that shaped the way I built my business.

These wounds aren’t just memories. They become the patterns we unconsciously carry into entrepreneurship:

  • Chasing clients the way we once chased love.
  • Shrinking our voice the way we once shrank at home.
  • Over-delivering, fixing, and over-proving — because that’s how we once tried to earn love and safety.

This is where the analogy struck me: Business is Parenting. 

The way we were parented is the way we unconsciously parent our business — until we heal.

Listen in as I unpack:

  • What mother wounds and father wounds really are.
  • How they silently guide your business decisions, money, and leadership.
  • Why almost every entrepreneur is still replaying their childhood in their company.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. 

In Part 2, I’ll share the healing and re-parenting — the tools and shifts that helped me break free and build a business that’s bold, free, and fully alive.
