Tiivistelmä
This paper explores the complexities of identifying the wellbeing of mompreneurs (mother-entrepreneurs) who are also caregivers to children with additional needs. A social constructionist perspective, Lego® Serious Play® was employed in individual interviews to uncover their complex wellbeing realities while pursuing entrepreneurship. A hermeneutic constructivist lens was applied to further conceptualize the language behind their experiences. The findings present three dimensions of wellbeing: 1) Internal conflict and self-neglect 2) Empowerment, Independence, Fulfilment 3) Resilient Control: Keeping the Balance. These dimensions provide an idiographic understanding, contributing to the broader knowledge of wellbeing as a component of entrepreneurship alongside caregiving responsibilities.
