The Boss Mom Podcast Your Next Business Idea Starts With: I Wish This Existed with Lauren Falesnik
At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family.
In this episode, Dana sits down with Lauren Falesnik, founder of GILi Guise, a kids' clothing brand born from a simple mom problem: finding jeans her toddler would actually wear. Lauren shares how she went from stay-at-home mom to entrepreneur without sacrificing her presence with her kids, proving that you don't have to choose between motherhood and building something meaningful. From sourcing denim in her basement to launching a thriving business in 2024, Lauren gets honest about the tears, the late nights, and the conversations she had to have with her kids about Mommy's work. She reveals how she manages routine, guilt, and growth while expecting baby number three, and why moms already have every skill they need to build a business. You don't need the perfect time or a flawless plan, you just need to solve a problem you care about and trust that you'll figure it out along the way.
