Episode notes
Isolation Sparked a Community Calling
- Lauren Golden started freelancing as a full-time working mom and felt isolated with a newborn while her husband worked long hours.
- That isolation and rapid learning shaped her calling to teach others and led her to create communities like Working Moms Village and later the Free Mama Movement.
Become Qualified By Tiny Steps
- Do take tiny steps of action to become qualified rather than waiting to feel ready.
- Lauren built confidence by doing uncomfortable things (like Facebook Live) repeatedly until they felt normal and effective.
From Terrified To Comfortable With Live Video
- Lauren felt mortified the first time she did a three-minute Facebook Live and thought no one watched.
- After repeating it weekly she now goes live without thinking and even enjoys it, showing practice reduces fear.
