In this episode, Laura sits down with hypnotherapist and coach Christina Woods for a fascinating conversation about the subconscious mind, limiting beliefs, and why so many ambitious women feel stuck even when they’re doing “all the right things.” Together, they unpack what hypnotherapy actually is (and what it’s not), how subconscious patterns shape behaviour, and why inner work is often the missing link between strategy and sustainable success. This episode is part education, part mindset s...

This episode is a grounding reminder that success is possible, but it may look d...
Some conversations leave you thinking differently about how business is “supposed” to look, and this is one of them. In this episode, Laura is joined by marketing consultant and entrepreneur Kelsey Reidl for a grounded, honest conversation about building a business that supports your life instead of competing with it.

In this episode, Laura breaks down a major shift happening in online business and why strategies that worked in 2020–2021 aren’t producing the same results today. She explains why more content, better mindset, or chasing algorithms won’t fix slow sales if your business foundations aren’t solid, and walks through the core systems every business needs to create consistent growth, stability, and long-term success.

In this episode, Laura sits down with Natalie Perkins, founder of PAUZ Health, for an honest and much-needed conversation about perimenopause, women’s health, and what happens when your body starts changing while you’re still building big things. They unpack what perimenopause actually looks like (hint: it’s not just hot flashes), why so many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed, and how supporting your health is not optional if you want to sustain energy, focus, and leadership as a mom and en...
In this special solo episode, Laura shares a behind-the-scenes case study of a private client she’s worked with for nearly four years—someone who went from earning $39,000 in an entire year to celebrating a $52,500 cash month in January 2026. This isn’t a viral-moment success story or a one-off launch spike. It’s a realistic breakdown of how strong foundations, intentional systems, smarter pricing, delegation, and collaboration led to a business on track for a $500,000+ year—all while working...
In today’s episode of This Mother Means Business, Laura is joined by Dr. Amy Athey — a psychologist and leader in sports performance psychology who has worked with elite performers in sport, military, and business. If you’ve ever thought, “This doesn’t apply to me, I’m not an athlete,” think again. Dr. Amy introduces the concept of the “corporate athlete” — and reminds us that if you’re pursuing motherhood, entrepreneurship, a career, or any kind of growth, you’re already in the game. The que...
In this episode, Laura introduces the concept of Minimum Viable Marketing — a sustainable approach to marketing for mom entrepreneurs who are building businesses in real life, not ideal conditions.

In this episode you will hear: (00:00) Why Laura is returning to marketing conversations (0...
In this episode of This Mother Means Business, Laura sits down with Stephanie Fournier, founder + CEO of People Agency, to talk about what it really looks like to build a fast-growing agency—without trying to do everything for everyone. They dig into long-term client relationships, referrals, reputation, leadership as a woman in male-dominated rooms, and the real sacrifices that come with building something big (while still being a present mom). It’s honest, scrappy, and full of “this is what...
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. If your business feels exhausting, overwhelming, or harder than it “should,” this...
In this episode of This Mother Means Business, Laura is joined by copywriter and brand strategist Evie Tavares for a real, grounded conversation about copywriting in the age of AI — and why the words you use still matter more than ever. Together, they explore what copywriting actually is, how to write in a way that feels human (not sleazy), where AI fits and where it falls short, and how motherhood shapes the way we show up, market, and set boundaries in our businesses. This episode is part p...
In this episode, Laura builds on last week’s conversation about relationships and business growth by diving into creative, strategic collaboration — not the vague “let’s support each other” kind, but collaboration that actually leads to clients. Laura breaks down why collaboration is one of the most underused growth levers for early-stage entrepreneurs, how to approach it with confidence, and the specific types of partnerships that create momentum without burnout. This episode is a practical,...
Parenting, ambition, and nervous system regulation collide in this deeply validating conversation with parenting coach Megan Lachance. After years of trying to make this conversation happen, Laura sits down with Megan to talk about the realities of modern parenting — especially for moms building businesses — and why perfection, guilt, and constant self-criticism are making parenting harder than it needs to be. This episode is permission-giving, science-backed, and incredibly grounding for any...
At the start of a new year, it’s easy to feel the pressure to do more — more tactics, more platforms, more strategies. In this episode, Laura shares a powerful coaching conversation that reveals why that urge often isn’t about strategy at all… it’s about trust. If you’ve found yourself questioning a strategy that technically works, wanting something different even though nothing is broken, or feeling unsettled by how quiet growth can feel — this episode is for you. In this episode you ...

Together, they unpack why traditional business plans feel intimidating, why identity and self-awar...
In this episode of This Mother Means Business, Laura Sinclair addresses the online buzz sparked by recent announcements from Jenna Kutcher and Amy Porterfield — and why small and mid-stage business owners need to stop using eight- and nine-figure founders as a blueprint for their own decisions.

Laura breaks...

In this episode of This Mother Means Business, Laura Sinclair sits down with Lindsey Schmidt, founder of LS & Co-Conspirators, to unpack “the messy middle” — those in-between seasons of motherhood, entrepreneurship, identity shifts, and reinvention.

Lindsey also shares her own jour...
In this New Year–energy episode of This Mother Means Business, Laura Sinclair shares how she sets herself up for a strong, sustainable year before diving into goals, plans, or productivity.
