Jessica Lamb | I Never Meant To Start A Business: The Real Behind the Scenes of Building a Business in Motherhood
Episode 155
Wednesday, 18 March, 2026
Sometimes the universe pushes you before you're ready. In this solo episode, Jessica gets honest about her business ownership journey — from a career she loved in nonprofit fundraising, to a corporate pivot, to an unexpected layoff that became the unlikely catalyst for everything. She talks about the messy middle of entrepreneurial growth, the imposter syndrome that comes with it, the therapy session that reframed everything, and what it really feels like to be a mom, a business owner, and a podcaster all at once — when none of it was exactly the plan. This one is for every woman who's figuring it out in real time.MAIN TOPICS COVEREDJessica's background in nonprofit fundraising and why she walked awayThe pivot to project management and how it created space for the podcastGetting laid off — and why it was the push she didn't know she neededStarting Collabs Creative with her collaborator MariaGoing from freelance side projects to full-on entrepreneurshipThe overwhelming reality of an unexpected growth phaseImposter syndrome, identity shifts, and the feeling of failing at everythingWhat her therapist said that reframed it allComparing the entrepreneurial growth phase to the first year of motherhoodTrusting your gut, choosing alignment, and leading by exampleWhat's coming next: a new podcast season focused on women making impactRESOURCES MENTIONEDCollabs Creative (Jessica's business) — collabscreative.comThe Mama Making Podcast — themamamakingpodcast.comHOW TO CONNECT WITH JESSICAPodcast website: themamamakingpodcast.comSubscribe on YouTube: @themamamakingpodcastJoin the newsletter: themamamakingpodcast.comThis episode is sponsored by Collabs Creative - a digital marketing company supporting makers, creatives, and small business owners with all things digital and design.
