Why Business Feels Heavy For Mom Entrepreneurs (And Why More Clients Won’t Fix It)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of This Mother Means Business, Laura reflects on a conversation with a new client—a pregnant gym owner—and how it brought her back to her own experience of running a business while navigating early motherhood. From there, Laura explores why so many women feel a sense of heaviness in their businesses, why it’s not a mindset or motivation issue, and what that heaviness is really trying to tell you.
