When Business Feels Hard: How to Tell the Difference Between a Rough Patch and The Wrong Path
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Laura reflects on a powerful question that came up during a conversation with the Moms in Tech community: How do you know if you’re just going through something hard in your business—or if you’re actually on the wrong path? For many entrepreneurial moms, building a business can feel deeply aligned with family life, but it also comes with moments of doubt, exhaustion, and pressure. Laura shares a framework to help you distinguish between a temporary rough patch and a deeper misalignment in your work. Through practical reflection questions and honest insights from her own 11 years in entrepreneurship, she offers guidance for navigating these crossroads with clarity rather than reacting from emotional overwhelm.
