I talk to a lot of coaches who are drowning in tasks and secretly terrified to hand anything off. You want a VA. You want better systems. But in the back of your mind you’re thinking, “What would I even give them that isn’t a giant mess?” In this episode with Lauren Glynn, we get brutally honest about why you can’t scale crap and what it really takes for a coach or service provider to stop being the bottleneck in their own business.

Lauren is a former corporate consultant who’s supported brands like Apple, Whole Foods, and Pfizer—and now she works with female and nonbinary entrepreneurs who want their time back. We talk through real client stories: the nutritionist who couldn’t let go of her 1:1s, the post-it-note CEO who hated every project management tool, and the coach who would “rather get a root canal than post on Instagram again.” Lauren walks us through how she helps clients decide what to keep, what to delegate, what to automate, and what to drop entirely.

If you’ve ever tried to copy someone else’s productivity system and felt like a failure when it didn’t stick, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. We cover boundaries, energy, verbal processing, and why some of us will always need a thought partner instead of another color-coded calendar. You’ll walk away with practical starting points for reclaiming your time—and permission to build a business that actually fits your brain and your life.

Lauren Glynn is a corporate consultant turned business coach for female and nonbinary entrepreneurs who want their time back. After years consulting for brands like Apple, Whole Foods, Pfizer, and the federal government, she saw the same problem on repeat: chaotic systems, overextended leaders, and no clear path to sustainable growth. In her own online business journey (everything from lifestyle blogging to leadership coaching), she realized small business owners need better time management and systems than the big players—because we’re the ones doing it all.

Today, Lauren helps digital entrepreneurs optimize their time, boundaries, and backend systems so they can stop white-knuckling their way through the week and start running a business that actually supports their life.
