    Inheriting the Family Business | Lesle Lane
    2026/04/21
    Lesle Lane wasn't supposed to take over her family's photography business. Her brothers were the obvious choice. Commercial and industrial photography in the early 90s wasn't considered women's work — and her family wanted her shooting weddings instead. She said no. And then she spent the next 33 years proving that was the right call. Lesle is the owner of Studio 13 in Indiana, and someone in her family has been taking pictures for 95 years. In this conversation, she talks about what it actually looks like to inherit a family business without a real succession plan, survive every disruption thrown at a small business in one lifetime — recessions, a pandemic, the digital revolution, the sudden death of her longtime employee — and build something flexible enough to outlast all of it. We also get into the real cost of cheap photography (and what it means for your business when the low-bid vendor bails three weeks before the event), how she transitioned from one W-2 employee to a team of 15 specialized 1099 contractors, what woman-owned certification has — and hasn't — been able to do for her business in the current climate, and why gratitude isn't a mindset practice for Lesle. It's just the only logical response to still being here. "When you've been on your knees, there's no place to look but up."

  • Chronic Stress Is Destroying Women Solopreneurs | Dr. Sara Love

    Chronic Stress Is Destroying Women Solopreneurs | Dr. Sara Love
    2026/04/07
    If you're a woman solopreneur who's been through cancer, divorce, or a major life disruption, your body is keeping score. Chronic stress doesn't just feel bad — it rewires your gut microbiome, tanks your sleep, and quietly undermines your ability to run a business. And most of us were raised to push through it alone. Dr. Sara Love is a licensed naturopathic physician in Oregon with 16 years of practice. She's also the founder of Lichen & Leaf, a small-batch herbal tea company she built specifically because her patients were too stressed to take a break — so she gave them something worth stopping for. In this conversation, Dr. Sara breaks down the stress-gut connection most doctors never talk about, why women solopreneurs are carrying so much of this physically and not just emotionally, and what you can actually do about it without spending money or overhauling your life. She shares her three non-negotiables for stress management: getting outside for 30 minutes a day, building a real sleep routine, and taking actual breaks — scheduled ones, on your calendar, with no screens. We also talk about the Pomodoro method, the ritual of a proper tea break, and why accepting help is a health strategy, not a character flaw. Topics covered in this episode include chronic stress and gut health, stress management for women solopreneurs, naturopathic medicine and lifestyle strategies, sleep hygiene for women over 40, time in nature as medicine, burnout prevention for solopreneurs, and building community after a life crisis.
