We don’t start businesses so we can work nonstop.

We start them for freedom, flexibility, creativity, and time with the people we love.

And yet… so many women find themselves doing everything but that.

In this week’s episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I’m joined by Marisa Twentyman, founder of Dirty Copy — a personality-packed copywriting studio and home of the viral Dirty Chats podcast.

What makes her story so refreshing is not just how fast she built her business… but the life she built around it.

After leaving teaching, teaching herself copywriting through YouTube, working during nap times, and rebranding into the cheeky, bold identity she's now known for, Marisa grew quickly. 

Instead of scaling into burnout, she chose something radical: She designed her business to support 3.5 months living in France with her family. She worked on her terms - a few client sessions, one website project - woven seamlessly into lakeside afternoons, long French dinners with locals, learning the language, and building a life around what mattered most.

If you’ve ever felt the slow pull of a life that once felt like freedom but now feels like a quiet prison… this conversation is for you. Not to convince you to sell everything. 

But to remind you: you already have the right to imagine something deeper. And sometimes, all it takes is the courage to take the first step, even without a map.

What You'll Learn:

• How Marisa went from high school English teacher to booked-out copywriter 
• What's actually selling in the course landscape right now after her recent launch sold 3 courses versus 77 in one weekend
• How she made three and a half months in France financially possible just 18 months into her business
• Her honest struggle with being a goal-driven mom entrepreneur versus societal expectations of motherhood
• The mindset shift that helps her post consistently on social media even when she never feels like it
