What I Wish I Knew At 30
Many women spend years believing they have to do everything. Build the career. Raise the family. Support everyone else. Keep pushing. Keep performing. Keep holding it all together. But what happens when the pressure becomes unsustainable? In this episode of What I Wish I Knew At 30, Fran Harper sits down with hospitality entrepreneur and community leader Laura Goldberg to discuss burnout, leadership, people-pleasing, motherhood, mental health, and the identity challenges women face when their self-worth becomes tied to achievement. Laura shares how COVID, a family health crisis, and a devastating restaurant fire forced her to confront the reality that constantly giving to others had left little room to care for herself. Through that experience, she learned the power of boundaries, purpose, vulnerability, and asking for help. IN THIS EPISODE: * Why women burn out trying to do everything * The hidden cost of people-pleasing * Leadership, vulnerability and authenticity * Mental health in hospitality and business * How to stop tying your worth to productivity * Why learning to say no changes everything * Building purpose through community * What Laura wishes she knew at 30 ABOUT THE SHOW What I Wish I Knew At 30 is a life lessons podcast for ambitious professionals, entrepreneurs, founders, leaders, and women navigating success, burnout, identity, purpose, and personal growth.
