    Redefining Women's Leadership: Building BONDE with Meg Gold

    What happens when a high-performing woman finally decides to build what she actually needs? In this episode, I sit down with Meg Gold, Co-Founder and CEO of BONDE, a private, vetted community for women decision-makers to talk about the parts of leadership we don't talk about enough: vulnerability, identity shifts, and the quiet courage it takes to bet on yourself. Meg shares the deeply personal story behind BONDE's founding, from navigating IVF to leaving corporate leadership and the unexpected ways women at the top still struggle to find real connection. We explore what women in leadership are truly missing (spoiler: it's not more mentorship), and how BONDE is reimagining community for women who don't fit into traditional boxes. If you've ever looked around a boardroom or business community and thought, "This wasn't built for me," - this conversation will feel like a homecoming. YOU'LL HEAR The moment Meg knew she was building someone else's dream and why she walked away How IVF reshaped her relationship with leadership, timing, and self-trust The unexpected way BONDE was born (hint: it involves an ugly sweater party) Why high-performing women still feel isolated, even with mentors and success The core need Meg sees in women leaders today (and how BONDE is answering it) How vulnerability became one of her strongest leadership tools Her perspective on protecting energy as a founder, mother, and human Why more women are betting on their own intellectual property A simple ritual she uses to stay grounded, creative, and clear YOUR RESOURCES → BONDE: www.joinbonde.com → Meg Gold: www.linkedin.com/in/meggold 💛 Subscribe, share, and leave a review if this episode resonated with you.

    The Untapped Power of Pinterest for Service-Based Entrepreneurs with Coley Lane Bouschet

    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.

    How to Create a Loyal, Engaged Entrepreneur Community with Inbal Claudio

    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.
