  • Great podcast for any busy entrepreneur

    This podcast is not just for moms! Any busy entrepreneur will find helpful info here. And Laura does not gatekeep! A lot of business podcasts lure you in and just give you teasers and you have to buy their service for the good stuff. That doesn’t happen here. Episodes are short and sweet and have a lot of helpful content every time.

  • REAL. TALK.

    Laura’s no nonsense approach is a unique style of ‘tough love’ that is rooted in compassion, understanding, and realism. This is not a girl boss show - Laura sees you for all that you are and all that you are becoming, both in business and in life.

    I’m not a mom myself, but I have many clients who are parents and I’m always looking for resources to recommend them (and mindset, time and energy tips apply to everyone!) 🤍if you’re busy then the solo episodes are so quick and bingeable, but if you have time then the longer more in depth interviews are also very inspiring! I love when episode titles alone peak my interest, no description necessary! Like how to save 5 hours a week, what a packed gym taught me, stop treating your biz like your b... more

  • Listen to this show!

    The conversations on this show, women supporting women, mom’s building businesses, and all the moving pieces they navigate are so incredibly important and necessary. As a mom of older kids, I wish these conversations were happening years ago. Thank you Laura, you’re a great host and I loved being a guest on your show!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Money Conversation Every Entrepreneur Needs to Have with Veronica Diaz & Ana Rebro
Q: Why is the process of getting financing so confusing for small business owners?
The process is confusing because banks are heavily regulated and require thorough documentation, but when owners understand the intent and the data behind requests, the process becomes clearer; lenders emphasize transparent communication, proper financial hygiene, and collaboration among the owner, accountant, and bank to build a solid case.
The Journey to Honest Motherhood in Life and Business with Libby Ward
Q: How did Libby evolve from content creator to author?
Libby describes a long process of sharing honest motherhood experiences, dealing with burnout, and recognizing a need to tell deeper personal stories in book form to reach readers more vulnerably and broadly.
You Don't Know What You Don't Know (And That's the Problem) with Rhowena Adolfo Patel
Q: What was the hardest moment in navigating the bankruptcy and exit, and how did you cope?
Facing a demand letter and potential bankruptcy was brutal, but I leaned on mentors, internal practices, and a belief that everything would be okay. I focused on practical steps, sought external guidance, and stayed connected to my purpose of helping mothers—this kept me moving forward even in the darkest days.
You Don't Know What You Don't Know (And That's the Problem) with Rhowena Adolfo Patel
Q: What led you to shift from a physical product business to an online course model after Healing Mama Co closed?
The closure created a crisis point but also a realization that the knowledge and support system moms need isn't tied to physical inventory. By converting that expertise into an online, scalable Mama Care course, I could reach more people, provide ongoing value, and build a sustainable model with flexible access and payment options.
How to Simplify (and Pivot!) Your Business as a Mom Entrepreneur with Laura Schoenfeld
Q: How do you approach rebuilding your offers when pivoting?
She emphasizes moving away from over-delivery and creating a tighter, more intentional knowledge base, focusing on what clients truly need and how to help them think about their business instead of providing plug-and-play templates.
