This one’s a behind-the-scenes update on life, business, babies… and the wild dance of trying to juggle it all.

I’m chatting about our first ever Brunch Club event at the new venue (Surface Pavilion), the expansion of our events into Brisbane, and what’s really changed in the year since I found out I was pregnant—with twins.

I get honest about:

Letting go of unrealistic expectations

Why my systems and team have saved me

How I’ve adjusted (and am still adjusting) to running a business while mothering twin babies

The truth behind the highlight reel

And why sometimes balls are going to drop—and that has to be okay

If you’ve ever looked at someone online and thought, How is she doing it all? — this episode is your reminder that none of us are. Especially not without support.

This is your invitation to embrace the season you’re in, take the pressure off, and remember: your business will wait, but these moments won’t last forever.

In this episode of the Empower House podcast, I’m diving into a topic that’s been a game-changer for me personally and professionally—networking. If you’ve ever felt awkward, isolated, or just completely drained by traditional networking events, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why I created the Brunch Club—to bring people together in a way that feels natural, supportive, and actually fun.

I share how the Brunch Club was born from my own need for connection, and how it’s grown into a space where real relationships and collaborations are built—no sales pitches, no pressure. I also walk you through how to make the most of any networking event, whether you’re showing up in person or joining online.

You’ll hear my tips on setting clear intentions, managing your time well, and showing up in a way that aligns with your business goals and your energy. We’re talking about building relationships that feel good and lead to opportunities—not just collecting business cards.

If you’re ready to shift from feeling isolated to truly connected in business, this one’s for you.

In this episode of the Empower House podcast, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of how I completely overhauled my business systems. I hit pause on client work to rebuild everything—from a messy mix of platforms (think: total Frankenstein setup) to a streamlined, all-in-one system using Go High Level.

I talk about why I made the shift, how I reduced manual tasks and double-handling, and how consolidating everything under one roof cut down my subscription costs and saved me serious time. These changes didn’t just make running events smoother—they helped keep my business running during one of the biggest transitions of my life: having twins.

If you’ve been feeling like your systems are holding you back, or you’re just over the tech juggle, I walk you through the approach I used to clean it all up. Whether you’re working solo or running a small team, this episode is packed with practical tips to help you streamline, reclaim your time, and get back to growing your business.

Welcome to the first ever episode of the Empower House Podcast! I'm Lauren Bryant—business systems strategist, networking event host, and founder of Empower House and The Brunch Club. I'm also a proud new mum to twin girls, based on the sunny Gold Coast.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind Empower House—how I went from managing smash repair businesses in a male-dominated industry to being unexpectedly unemployed, to launching my business out of necessity (and a healthy dose of stubbornness).

You'll hear how I went from life coaching dreams to offering business systems and strategy support, and why I quickly realised that small business owners don’t just need motivation—they need practical tools, support, and community.

I also talk about the origins of The Brunch Club—why traditional networking events weren’t working for me, and how I created something different: no pitches, no pressure, just real connections over brunch.

Whether you're just starting out, looking to pivot, or craving a community that actually gets what it's like to run a business—you’ll find something here for you.
