In this episode of The Quietly Disruptive Business Podcast, Becky Benfield-Humberstone sits down with Laura Wheatley, a transformational coach, co-pilot, and self-confessed people whisperer, to explore what it really looks like to build a business on your own terms.

After years leading high-stakes projects in Financial Services—thriving outwardly but questioning everything inwardly—Laura made a bold pivot. She now co-runs Infusion Group, a purpose-led Business Growth consultancy, and founded Messy Wisdom, supporting brilliant women navigating the “messy middle” of life. In this conversation, Laura shares how she helps people rewrite what success means, move from disconnected to fully alive, and embrace the messiness of growth.

Listeners will hear a raw and honest discussion about:

• Making courageous career pivots and following your inner compass
• Building purpose-led businesses aligned with personal values
• Navigating the “messy middle” of life and business
• Redefining success on your own terms

This episode is perfect for founders quietly dreaming of building something brilliant—balancing big ideas with a louder inner critic—and looking for inspiration to create a business that truly feels like theirs.
