47- “You don’t need anyone’s permission to do what you want to do” This Mother Means Business with Laura S.

I've been following Laura and her brand, This Mother Means Business, on social media for a while now. When I saw her on Threads (we talk about her love for Threads!) and learned she was on a mission to appear on 52 podcasts this year, I knew I had to get her on mine. In this episode, we dive into Laura's incredible journey: from her beginnings in marketing, to owning a CrossFit gym, to navigating a major pivot during COVID, and now running a successful business mentorship business. Laura and I chat about everything from how childhood sports teach resilience, managing discomfort, and embracing failure—skills that build a foundation for entrepreneurship. About the invisible load of motherhood and she shares invaluable advice on finding the right business mentor, as well as how to recognize when it’s time to seek one out – and more. This conversation is packed with insights and inspiration. With Laura’s impressive background and wealth of expertise, even just an hour left me feeling motivated and ready to take on new challenges. If you’re thinking about working with a business mentor but don’t know where to start—or if you just want to hear from an expert who truly gets it—this is the episode for you. (PS: If you’re a podcast host, consider interviewing other podcasters! Laura made this episode so easy to edit, either because everything she said was gold or because she knows the struggle of editing and made it a breeze for me.)  You can find Laura: Threads Website Podcast Instagram Join her Community --------------- Katie Franklin Doula Services Enjoy 10% Off Your Order at InstaCakeCards.com with code ‘SmallTownsBigDreams’ --------------- Please follow Small Towns, Big Dreams on: Instagram Facebook Buy Me A Coffee Or send me an email at: [email protected]
