EP 81: Building a Business as a Mom Without Burning Out, with Laura Sinclair
In this episode of The Self-Made Life Podcast, Ashley Wyatt (Monarch Design Co.) sits down with Laura Sinclair—strategic business mentor, podcast host, and founder of This Mother Means Business—to talk about what it actually looks like to build a profitable business alongside motherhood.
Laura shares her story of owning a brick-and-mortar gym, how the pandemic forced a major pivot, and why “success” had to be rebuilt around capacity, support, and self-trust. We also get into the invisible mental load so many moms carry, the guilt around childcare support, and why collaboration and relationships are about to matter even more going into 2026.
In this episode, we cover:
The “boss or bust” reality of trying to be everywhere at once
Why hiring support can be the turning point (and why it doesn’t make you a “bad mom”)
Self-trust: how to filter business advice and make it work for your real life
Capacity conversations at home (and why “I can’t” is a complete sentence)
The mental load, partnership, and the “it has to be me” story
Laura’s take on what will drive growth in 2026: relationships + collaboration
