So She Slays Podcast

The job market because it is rough out here and we are not going to pretend otherwise. This week Heather sits down with Katera Patterson, founder of Pin Labs AI. Katera was eight months pregnant, sending out 100 job applications a month, and still couldn't catch a break. So she took less than $500 in savings and bet on herself. Now she's pulling $30,000 months from her laptop as a mom of two.We get into all of it: the AI tools she actually uses to run her business, the Pinterest strategy that made her first $1,000 in under 30 days, the self-doubt, the failed launches, and the moment she stopped shrinking herself and everything changed.If you've been feeling stuck, overlooked, or just tired of waiting for someone to give you a shot, pull up a seat.

They've done all the research so you don't have to, because let's be honest, your girl is busy.We're getting into ALL of it — how Little Blue Cart was born out of the 2024 election, why your spending power is the one lever of control you still have, how one small purchase is quietly hitting corporate bottom lines where it hurts, and why quiet alignment might be the most powerful form of activism nobody is talking about.
