How Getting Pregnant HELPS You Build a Business Empire | Ep 43 Lauren Loreto

Ever wonder how to build a brand, run a business, and be a present parent - all at once?

In this episode, we’re cooking lunch and talking shop with Lauren, founder of Brand Good Time, a branding agency that helps disruptor brands stand out with bold, human-centered messaging.

We dive into Lauren’s journey from corporate burnout to full-time entrepreneurship, how an unplanned pregnancy reshaped her priorities, and what it really takes to grow a business while raising a family. She shares real, actionable advice on finances, branding, hiring, and building a business with heart - and without burnout.

We also get into slow living, supportive partnerships, and why your community might matter more than your business plan.

Whether you're in the thick of scaling a business or just daydreaming about leaving your 9-to-5, this one’s for you.
