It’s time for another guest episode of The Limitless Life Experience Podcast, and this time I’m chatting to the amazing Lauren Derrett. She’s a mother of 4, step mother of 2, and founder of reusable sanitary towel brand taking the world by storm - Wear ‘Em Out, but as you’ll find out in this episode, she’s had a number of ventures and projects that have led her to wear she is now.

 

We first met several years ago when we were in the same hypnobirthing organisation; Lauren became my doula, and has been a coaching client of mine  since then too. In this episode, she takes us right back to the beginning, telling us how she went from dropping out of school at 14 to being the successful business owner she is today.

 

We reveal the flip side of success, and all the stress that goes on behind the scenes of a business, as well as the pressure to show up and be the face of a brand. And - as being able to give back is important to Lauren, we discuss how making an impact is just as important as making an income (including how Wear ‘Em Out are making a difference in the world!).

 

What’s more - we talk about the difference between a product or service based business, and the challenges that come with both. For anyone in business - product based or other - I just know that you’re going to find this conversation so incredibly inspiring. So what are you waiting for? Come and play!
