What if the key to scaling your business wasn't just Instagram… but a completely different platform most creatives overlook?

In this episode of At Home with Founders, I sit down with Colie Lane Bousche, founder of Life Goals Magazine and Life Goals Marketing, to explore the untapped power of Pinterest for service-based entrepreneurs. From building an online magazine that's lasted a decade to launching an agency that helps creatives grow with evergreen traffic, Colie's story is one of quiet consistency, resilience, and redefining what success really looks like.

We get honest about the messy realities of entrepreneurship, from pivoting away from corporate life, to setting boundaries with clients, to giving yourself permission to pause when burnout hits. Colie also pulls back the curtain on how Pinterest works differently than Instagram, why it's an underutilized growth channel, and what it takes to build authority in a way that feels sustainable.

You'll hear: ✔ Why Colie launched Life Goals Magazine and how it evolved into a full-fledged business ✔ The surprising way she rediscovered her confidence after going back to corporate ✔ Her exact process for generating endless creative ideas without burning out ✔ Why Pinterest is a goldmine for service providers (and how to know if it's right for you) ✔ The hardest "no's" she's had to say in business and what they taught her about alignment

If you've been craving a business that feels both creative and sustainable, or you're curious about how Pinterest can fit into your marketing strategy, this episode is full of fresh perspective and practical insights you won't want to miss.

What if the secret to scaling your business wasn't more strategy… but more connection?

In this powerful episode of At Home with Founders, I sit down with Inbal Claudio, 3x founder, mom of three, and the visionary behind Like-Minded Collective - a free, global social networking platform built just for women entrepreneurs.

We get real about the messy middle - building a startup from scratch while raising babies, feeling completely isolated after a cross-country move, and the raw truth about how most "communities" online aren't really built for connection.

You'll hear: ✔ How Inbal scaled a heart-led tech platform to 3,500+ women across 45 countries ✔ What it actually takes to build community that drives loyalty, referrals, and long-term growth ✔ The boundaries and mindset shifts she uses to juggle motherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship ✔ Why true community is about putting others first - and how to spot the difference between a real one and a disguised sales funnel

If you're craving authentic relationships in business, dreaming of building a community, or navigating the juggle of life and leadership - you'll find yourself nodding (and tearing up) in this episode.

If you've built the team, implemented the systems, and done everything you thought would make scaling easier—but you're still overwhelmed and stretched thin—this episode is for you.

Because here's the truth: Your business is keeping you stuck.

👉 You hired a team, but they're still relying on you for every decision. 👉 You built systems, but they still require you to be in the mix. 👉 You're automating and optimizing—but somehow, things still feel heavy.

If scaling feels like more stress, not more freedom, something is broken.

In this episode, we're diving deep into: ✔ Why your team isn't actually saving you time (and how to fix that). ✔ How you're accidentally creating more work for yourself—without realizing it. ✔ The biggest operational mistakes keeping you stuck at 6 figures. ✔ The decision-making frameworks that free you from approvals and micromanagement. ✔ How to finally build a business that runs WITHOUT you being in every detail.

It's time to remove yourself as the bottleneck—FOR GOOD.
