    Un-complicate Your Business: A Conversation with Laura Sinclair

    This episode is a recording of Un-complicate Your Business, a free roundtable I co-hosted with Laura Sinclair, founder of This Mother Means Business. We got into why business doesn't have to be as hard as we make it — and the very specific ways we make it harder anyway. Paralysis dressed up as "still figuring it out." Solving the wrong problem instead of the real one. Drifting away from the basics because they're not exciting enough to post about. This is a real, live conversation — not a polished presentation. A few attendees joined in too, and one of them said the line that's stuck with me since: "the little things are the big things." That's really the whole point. Timestamps: 0:02 — Intros and how this conversation started 4:05 — Laura's "die on this hill" belief: business isn't as hard as we make it 9:33 — The two business types: complicated models vs. simple models we overcomplicate 27:11 — The flavor of overcomplicating I call "solving the wrong problem" 33:09 — Paralysis dressed as strategy (the 5-month email story) 39:17 — Attendee reflections: what landed and why 49:52 — Final thoughts: leading with why instead of what The closing thought I want to leave you with: the thing you're trying to fix is usually downstream of the real issue... which is why fixing it never quite sticks. Next time something feels harder than it should, ask yourself what it might actually be downstream of. ---- Sometimes overcomplication isn't a sign something's broken. It's a sign you're ready to grow — and it's time to shift how you're running things. A good place to start is just seeing clearly how you're currently operating as an entrepreneur.

    The Cost of Saying "Yes" in Business [Purpose Circle Replay]

    This episode is a recording of the very first Purpose Circle: a small, live conversation I'm hosting (planning quarterly) for entrepreneurs who want to circle deeper into the patterns shaping how we run our businesses. We jumped right in with introductions and a "yes I regret" round, then explored why saying yes is often how we build a business in the early days... and how those same yeses can quietly start costing us more than they give back over time. Most entrepreneurs don't notice the shift. Or they feel it — the heaviness, the resentment, the exhaustion — but don't connect it back to the yeses themselves. This is a real conversation between likeminded entrepreneurs. Pauses, kids in the background, real-time thinking. That's the point! Timestamps: 0:00 — Intros + a "yes I regret" round 14:30 — The Frazzled → Focused continuum 20:30 — The two flavors of the cost: more (Frazzled) vs weight (Stretched) 46:40 — What's one yes sitting on your plate right now? The closing prompt I want to leave you with: notice one yes you're about to say this week. Pause for 30 seconds and ask: is this a yes I'd be choosing if I weren't on autopilot? 📝 Curious where you land on the Frazzled → Focused Continuum?

    The Mother Load: Balancing What You Carry — in Life AND Business

    If you've been feeling stretched thin or like you're carrying two full-time jobs at once — life and business — this conversation is for you. In this roundtable, Quinn Tempest, Parijat Deshpande, and Karen Ozeri unpack the invisible load women hold behind the scenes: the mental load, identity shifts of motherhood, and the nervous-system strain of trying to "do it all" while running a business. They break down why so many women feel depleted right now (hint: it's not your fault), how these pressures land in the body, and what small, meaningful shifts can help you reclaim energy and agency. If you've been wondering, "Is it just me?"... it's not. 🎥 Watch the full video replay: https://quinntempest.com/mother-load-roundtable/
