Description

In this deeply honest episode of This Mother Means Business, Laura Sinclair explores one of entrepreneurship’s most unexpected emotions — grief. While growth is often celebrated as exciting and empowering, it can also mean saying goodbye to familiar routines, relationships, and versions of ourselves. Laura shares personal stories from her 10-year journey — from leaving her corporate job to closing her gym — and reflects on how expansion often requires letting go. If you’re in a season of change, this one will remind you: you’re not broken, you’re evolving.
