Growing said business while raising my children (during COVID) and then deciding to add a new mission-focused business to my plate has come with *a lot* of hard work. My reasons for doing it all were not guided by my singular focus of being happy. I made these decisions because I found myself very unhappy with how I was living my life (and not so much the work I was doing). None of the last six years has been easy but, nothing great is. Without a doubt I’d make the same decision again in a heartbeat. https://www.askpetrushka.com/petrushkas-blog/survival-parenting monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/d6966d66-1f36-4f61-91c5-782e90f6932a/1ffda43d-a7c9-5fbc-5abc-f5358cf00af5.jpeg Blog - Survival Parenting - Make it stand out Ila running a 1500m in today’s meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/7719d42d-af7c-42ff-9a65-3887a4b4bdec/9f600201-a6ee-da4e-b9bf-d41414e43c01.jpeg Blog - Survival Parenting - Make it stand out Ila at the end of a cross country meet in Staten Island…Staten Island, y’all!!!

New Delicious Recipes - Make it stand out Photo: My almost done crêpe. When I was younger my sister used to make crêpes for me. She always made it seem like they were so labor intensive. Apparently, she made it seem hard on purpose so that she didn’t have to make them all the time and to make the times that she did make them, extra special. In short, making crêpes equals rockstar status in my head even though they’re easier to make than waffles and pancakes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/fcf838c8-9cbd-40c2-92ce-3db549649127/b8d9382e-ec15-0e66-0178-3accd372617c.jpeg Blog -

Hi Friend! I’m Petrushka. I’m a wife, mother, entrepreneur, and life coach committed to supporting women in transition to motherhood and out of jobs that no longer serve them and the lifestyles they desire...not necessarily in that order or at the same time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/1630356558819-EDOX0IQ2LIOL566WGU5C/Zz1lMWQ4NzI1MzYwM2QxMWViYTI5ZDgxZmMwNDllY2MzMw__.jpg About - We have not looked back since. It took three kids, a not-so-great-for-me full-time job, and my husband unexpectedly losing his job for me to find the answer...open an ice cream shop where people can sit down with a loved one over some delicious frozen confections made by hand and with love. Out of these circumstances, my childhood goal of being a “businesswoman,” and our neighborhood not having an ice cream parlor, Sugar Hill Creamery was born! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/2a5ebd81-8e12-4af7-864d-4b16f89a2cfd/WillIEverGetThisColorRight.jpg About - Since opening Sugar Hill Creamery in 2017, I have worked with hundreds of women as they become new mothers and as they navigate their identities as working mothers. As a result of this work, I’ve added supporting women, especially mothers, to be present for themselves and their families so they can live lives on mission and with purpose, as part of my life’s work. I believe that if a mother is not taking care of her heart and her mind, she cannot take care of her children. And, if she cannot take care of her children, they will be left to reconcile traumas in their adulthood that may prevent them from living lives of purpose and intention...and so the cycle continues. https://www.askpetrushka.com/testimonials-and-press daily 0.75 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/1630356261219-TE2JRY5NOKHNXJIGO79F/SHP-Wordpress-Featured-Image34.png Testimonials & Press - 194: Meet the Founder of Harlem’s Sugar Hill Creamery (w/ Petrushka Bazin Larsen) Side Hustle Pro Podcast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/1630356085663-RTZES4LMJXG088T5UXX4/image-asset.jpeg Testimonials & Press - Petrushka Bazin Larsen of Sugar Hill Creamery: “Create spaces for connection; The power of building intentional community cannot be understated” Authority Magazine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/1630356329632-0WBH3Y4FPCNU28PUT05O/514%2BLIk90qL._SL500_.jpg Testimonials & Press - Owning a Business in Your Community with Petrushka Bazin Larsen Walking Distance: Where Love for Neighbor and Neighborhood Meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/1630356558819-EDOX0IQ2LIOL566WGU5C/Zz1lMWQ4NzI1MzYwM2QxMWViYTI5ZDgxZmMwNDllY2MzMw__.jpg Testimonials & Press - Making Shared Dreams a Reality: 7 Tips for Couples Who Work Together Square: Town Square https://www.askpetrushka.com/book-a-call daily 0.75 2023-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/8638341e-ee0e-4bdc-a93a-03689ab0c5f0/IceCreamLady.jpg Book a Call - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.askpetrushka.com/home daily 1.0 2025-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/1629759398560-ITYV4NB8BVNGX21F608B/quote-01.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dff9c38a3a203a13b7217a/1629759809847-IKR5EW2W2VUZTN8AJAII/Untitled-1-01.png Home - Who is Petrushka?
