Balancing Motherhood & Business with Laura Sinclair

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Sinclair, a strategic business mentor and founder of This Mother Means Business. We dive into the real, unfiltered challenges of running a business while being a mom—not the "pink and fluffy" version, but the truth about boundaries, burnout, and the power of community.

If you’ve ever felt like you're juggling too much and no one is talking about it, this conversation is for you.

Key topics covered:

Why the conversation around motherhood and entrepreneurship often feels “fluffy” and what’s missing
How boundaries (not just business strategies) can be the key to having more time and less overwhelm
The difference between being a nice person and a good person in business
Why social media isn’t the only way to grow your business and where to focus your energy instead
How This Mother Means Business is creating a much-needed space for entrepreneurial moms to connect and grow
