Podcast Description
The Truer Business Podcast is the antidote to the hustle-culture-overnight-success-7-figure-goals noise for creative business owners looking to live and work on their own terms. Led by real-life solopreneurs, ethical copywriter Lauren Van Mullem and website designer Kara Ferreira, the podcast features conversations that get to the truth behind the big questions of entrepreneurship.
If you’re ready to do work that fills you up with the time and resources to live a life you love, but you aren’t chasing shiny pennies and overnight success, we’re here to shed more light on:
What it’s really like to launch and grow your own online business as a solopreneur with kids/partners/pets who need your time and attention too
How to mindfully craft your business so it lights you up rather than drains your battery
The slow living path to sustainable success
Ethical online business practices, plus gray areas, and choose-your-own-adventure values
Breaking all the rules and re-envisioning what online entrepreneurship means
Our guests are both leading and leading-on-a-smaller-scale entrepreneurs. In season one, we’re delighted to have in-depth conversations with Rebecca Tracey of the Uncaged Life, Jessie May Kezele of the Daring Fempreneur, and many other wonderful business-owners.
So, if you’re ready to build, grow, or pivot your online business while still having time for the little things (like slowly sipping your morning cup of coffee) and the big things (like taking time off to be with your kids or building a 3-day work week just for you), let’s dive in!

Haley Carr is an NLP practitioner and business coach, plus a 9X Karate World Champion who’s traveled solo across 20+ countries. What’s even more interesting to us: She started her business the same year she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue and had to sleep for 16 hours a day. She had to grow her business gently, and she tells us how.
Favorite quotes: “Only create something that gives you more time, money, energy and inspiration.” “Question your outdated rules.” “Slow down more than you think you need to.” “Focus on what’s working.” “What if you’re exactly where you need to be right now?”
This episode will change the way you think about your business forever—at least it did for us.
