Episode 225 -- Laura Flowers and Becca Stackhouse-Morson -- You Don't Need Permission to Build the Business of Your Dreams

There's something powerful about watching women carve their own paths in the business world—especially when they're doing it completely on their own terms. In this heartfelt discussion celebrating Small Business Month, we're peeling back the curtain on what happens when women decide to turn their passion into purpose and build companies that authentically reflect who they are.Laura Flowers and Becca Morson join me to share the catalysts that pushed them to create their businesses. Laura reveals how feeling boxed-in as a school psychologist led her to launch her life coaching practice infused with Reiki and energy healing, while Becca explains how her desire for work-life balance and meaningful impact drove her to create Stacked Intent, helping people build healthier relationships with themselves. Both women articulate that beautiful moment when you realize you can create something that combines all your talents, interests, and values—with no rules about what pieces of yourself you're allowed to bring to the table.We dive deep into the realities of entrepreneurship that nobody warns you about—managing your relationship with money (including Becca's fascinating "Waffle Theory" approach to budgeting), setting boundaries when work and home life blur together, and finding your community of fellow entrepreneurs who become your lifeline of support and accountability. The conversation explores how business ownership shapes not just your professional life but transforms your relationship with yourself, requiring intentionality in ways you might never have experienced before.Whether you're already running your own business, dreaming about taking that leap, or simply appreciate stories of women creating their own destinies, this episode offers both practical wisdom and profound inspiration. As Laura beautifully puts it, "If you have a dream within you, a nudge that just won't go away, it is 100% there for a reason." Ready to explore what might be possible when you fully trust yourself?
