What if growing your business didn't require being glued to your phone all day?

In this episode of Mommas Making Commas, Kate sits down with Lori Ervin, personal brand specialist, marketing strategist, coach, social seller, and mom of three boys. Lori shares her journey from starting an online business just weeks before her youngest son was born to building multiple six-figure businesses while raising a family and navigating the realities of everyday life.

After experiencing the burnout that comes from chasing every trend, trying every strategy, and feeling like marketing never stops, Lori made a shift. Today, she helps personal brands, social sellers, and small business owners simplify their marketing, create systems that support real life, and build sustainable visibility, consistency, and income.

Together, Kate and Lori dive into:

• Why consistency matters more than chasing the latest trend
• How to know when it's time to pivot in your business
• The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make with their marketing
• Building visibility without spending all day online
• Creating simple systems that save time and reduce overwhelm
• How personal branding can help you stand out authentically
• What sustainable success looks like for busy moms and entrepreneurs
• Practical tips for growing your business while still being present for your family

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by social media, frustrated by inconsistent results, or exhausted trying to do all the things, this conversation will remind you that there is a better way.

Success doesn't have to come at the expense of your health, your family, or your peace of mind.

Lori Ervin has been building businesses online since 2014. What began as a spontaneous decision before the birth of her youngest son evolved into years of experience in content creation, social media, sales, email marketing, Pinterest marketing, Shopify development, and business strategy.

Today, Lori helps personal brands, social sellers, and small businesses simplify their marketing, build effective systems, and grow intentionally without being glued to their phones. Her mission is to help entrepreneurs create businesses that support their lives rather than compete with them.

When she's not working, you'll find her cheering on her three boys at hockey rinks, baseball diamonds, and soccer fields. She also loves Hallmark movies and always has a Netflix recommendation ready to go.
