FOUNDERS
STORY
Hi, I’m Lauren!
After 12 years of building a successful agency, I made the leap to consulting and growth coaching. It was a game-changer - I loved helping businesses thrive and being my own boss. But I quickly realised that being a solo entrepreneur came with its own set of challenges. I felt like I was winging it, and I desperately needed someone who understood the struggles.
​
As I connected with other service-based founders, I saw that I wasn't alone. We were all facing similar growth barriers and self-doubt. But what struck me was the lack of support for service based solo entrepreneurs like us. Most resources were geared towards bigger businesses or those chasing funding, leaving us to navigate the ups and downs on our own.
​
That's why I created What She Said. I wanted to build a platform that offers more than just a supportive community. I wanted to provide practical growth tools, expert coaching and a supportive community that help female micro business owners like you overcome the real challenges you're facing. Our resources are designed to help you build a business that works for you, not the other way around.
​
I love hearing from fellow micro business owners, founders & freelancers in the service sector so don’t hesitate to reach out to me on Linkedin.
