She had the stability. The opportunity. The “safe” path.And she walked away anyway. Because sometimes the biggest risk… is ignoring the thing you know you’re meant to build

What happens when you’ve done everything “right”—climbed the ladder, built the skills, earned the trust—and it still doesn’t feel like enough?

In this episode of She Owns It!, I sit down with Lauren Fisher, Founder of Acumen HR Solutions, to talk about the kind of entrepreneurship no one really prepares you for—the kind that doesn’t start with a big moment… but with a quiet, persistent knowing you can’t ignore.

Lauren shares her journey from single mom and corporate climber to business owner, and the real decisions behind that leap:

• Walking away from stability when it looked really good on paper
• Building confidence over time (not overnight)
• Redefining success beyond hustle and burnout
• Setting boundaries that actually create capacity—not limit it
• We also get into the reality of building a business while raising a family, learning to be present, and why “people problems” are actually business strategy in disguise.

This conversation is honest, grounded, and a reminder that owning a business isn’t just about growth—it’s about alignment.If you’ve ever felt the pull to do something more… this one will hit.Show Notes:Host: Kristen McAlisterLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristenmcalister/Contact: kristen@kristenmcalister.comGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-fisher-2a659b6a/
