Welcome to the first ever episode of the Empower House Podcast! I'm Lauren Bryant—business systems strategist, networking event host, and founder of Empower House and The Brunch Club. I'm also a proud new mum to twin girls, based on the sunny Gold Coast.
In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind Empower House—how I went from managing smash repair businesses in a male-dominated industry to being unexpectedly unemployed, to launching my business out of necessity (and a healthy dose of stubbornness).
You'll hear how I went from life coaching dreams to offering business systems and strategy support, and why I quickly realised that small business owners don’t just need motivation—they need practical tools, support, and community.
I also talk about the origins of The Brunch Club—why traditional networking events weren’t working for me, and how I created something different: no pitches, no pressure, just real connections over brunch.
Whether you're just starting out, looking to pivot, or craving a community that actually gets what it's like to run a business—you’ll find something here for you.
