from Embodied Society Podcast: Where coaches and experts create 6-figure and 7-figure businesses · host Rebecca Barnheart
Laura Conley was stepping out of her first shower in a month—she'd been living in a hospital room with her newborn daughter who had major health complications. Six weeks postpartum, she caught herself beating herself up for not "bouncing back" into her pre-baby jeans fast enough.That moment changed everything.She realized: "I'm going to pass this down to her if I don't heal this."In this episode, Laura shares how she went from burnt-out pharmaceutical sales rep to building a half-million dollar coaching business helping moms lose weight for the last time—while picking her kids up from the bus every day, stuffing folders at their school, and refusing to send them to aftercare just to "hustle more."Laura reveals:→ The rule book she accidentally subscribed to for years—"one simple scalable offer"—and the wake-up call that made her realize she was outsourcing her own inner knowing→ How she went from $90k to $420k in one year by doing one bold, scary thing: texting Kelly LeVeque to ask to be on her podcast (and what her husband said that made her finally hit send)→ The "midlife crisis" launch that flopped and exposed she'd been tying her money-making ability to her self-worth—and what shifted when she realized her dad never actually cared about her revenue→ Why she now asks herself every week: "What's the biggest needle mover?"—and caps her calendar at 3 meetings per day max→ Her philosophy on building business around your life: "I created this business knowing I was going to have kids. Why am I sending them to aftercare so I can hustle more to prove I'm valuable?"→ The question she's playing with now: "How good does it get to get?"Laura's approach is refreshingly anti-rule-book. She looks at her phone when she wakes up (because she loves it), journals every morning, picks her kids up from the bus every day, and trusts that her intuition IS the strategy.About Laura Conley:Laura Conley is the founder of the Yummy Mummy Weight Loss Method, which has successfully helped hundreds of women lose weight for the last time.
