118 Merry’s business used to only make money when she was on Zoom with clients… now it's set up to pay her while she’s in Europe with her 3 kids for the summer ⛱️

Laura Lange — Mon, 18 May 2026 01:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I’m talking to my client from The SOP Bootcamp Merry Chiu about her experience inside the program.

She’s a successful and talented college admissions mentor.

Fully booked with 1:1 clients from all over the world.

Flexible around her life with 3 kiddos.

But…

She had no space to take her business beyond the Zoom room and free up her time to serve more people at different price points.

Before The SOP Bootcamp, her days looked like this:

👉 get 3 kids out the door

👉 client calls while kids were at school

👉 intention to “scale business” (whatever that means) but always pushing tasks like writing newsletters, creating content or developing digital offers to tomorrow because there was no time for that…

👉 pick up kids and do after school activities
👉 repeat

And she told me:

“I’ve tried SOPs before… but I just never had the time to get it properly up and running to support me inside my business”

Inside The SOP Bootcamp, we changed that.

Now?

We’ve revamped her business to run from one simple CEO dashboard that holds her daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly tasks together next to managing a FULL Google Calendar with life and family activities.

Her calendar has expanded with time slots for her business that show her exactly what to do every day to scale her digital products next to her busy client schedule.

(without writing a to do list from scratch).

She’s created space.

She’s EXPANDED time.

Which is why during her time in The SOP Bootcamp…

👉 She launched a new digital course

👉 Reduced her 1:1 workload

👉 And is planning a time-rich summer traveling with her kids in Europe while launching her next course.

She told me that the biggest shift from the program was actually emotional.

Her words:

“I don’t worry anymore about all the little things I did or didn’t get done”

Because there’s a system in place holding the business together for her now.

So even if they call from school and say one of the kids are sick, she can go get him and move her tasks to the next day without rewriting to do lists over and over and moving deadlines around.

That’s the shift we are talking about in this episode 🔥

116 Why working 4-hour days feels harder than working 10 & how to reprogram your subconscious guilt behind it | Interview with Alja Podgornik

Laura Lange — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:03:13 -0700

Nobody warns you that the hardest part about working 4 hour days isn’t managing your time or getting your work done faster.

It’s actually allowing yourself to let 4 hours of work be enough without feeling guilty like you could have “done more”.

That low-level guilt you feel when you leave your office or laptop early?

That voice in the back of your mind that whispers (or screams) ‘I haven’t deserved to rest yet’?

That has zero to do with you becoming more productive.

What's actually going on here is how your subconscious has been conditioned to perceive success, productivity and rest.

And today we’re breaking down exactly what’s going on and how to reprogram it.

DOORS TO THE SOP BOOTCAMP ARE OPEN! JOIN NOW AT SPECIAL EARLY BIRD PRICE OF EUR 397 (SAVE EUR 200 WHEN YOU ENROLL BEFORE 1 FEBRUARY 2026)

In this episode, I’m walking you through the 5 core SOPs (standard operating procedures) I believe every online business owner needs to have in place. Especially if you want a business with 4 hour work days that give you more time, more spaciousness, and less hot mess energy behind the scenes.

We’re talking about:
→ Automating your client onboarding
→ Streamlining your content creation
→ Running launches without reinventing yourself every time
→ Getting your finances in order (even if you don’t want to look at your bank account)
→ And creating SOPs for your personal life so cooking, cleaning and getting the groceries feel lighter and get done every week.

Let’s talk about creating simple, repeatable workflows that free up hours each week and let you operate like a true time rich CEO (not a burned out freelancer).

And yes… I’m giving you the details on The SOP Bootcamp too.

113 How I navigated a chemical pregnancy + first trimester sickness while running my online business 🤢❤️‍🩹

Laura Lange — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 01:00:00 -0800

❤️‍🩹 TRIGGER WARNING ❤️‍🩹

In this episode, I talk about pregnancy loss and early pregnancy. Please take care of yourself while listening wherever you are on this journey or however you relate to it.

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story I wasn’t sure I’d tell.

During the second half of 2025, I navigated a chemical pregnancy, followed shortly after by the early months of a new pregnancy all while trying to keep my business running, support my clients, and run a few new creative projects.

Spoiler: I had to let go of most of it. And that’s okay.

This is an honest reflection on what it looked like to show up (and sometimes not show up) during one of the most vulnerable and physically intense seasons I’ve ever been through.

I talk about:

👉What a chemical pregnancy is, how it hit me, and why it’s so often minimized

👉What it felt like to hold space for others while grieving behind the scenes

👉The whiplash of going from pregnancy loss into first trimester symptoms: fatigue, nausea, brain fog, and big emotions

👉How I redefined my relationship with content, productivity, and online business norms

👉What actually helped me feel better (and what didn’t)

I also share how my 4-hour workday system became the ultimate safety net… Why I let my visibility take a backseat for two months… And how I’m slowly reshaping what business looks like for me from here.

This episode is for you if you're:

👉Going through something heavy while holding or building a business

👉Navigating loss, fatigue, or emotional overwhelm behind the scenes

👉Wondering if it's okay to “disappear” for a while (short answer: yes)

👉Craving a business model that holds you, not just the other way around

Next Steps:

Inside you’ll find the exact tools to stack consistent sales while working fewer hours a day and creating more white space in your calendar.

112 How Sara made €50K in sales in just 4 months 💸 after sorting out her contracts ✍️

Laura Lange — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 01:00:00 -0800

In today’s episode I’m joined by my client Sara Vezenšek who came to me a few month ago sharing about the incredible momentum she had already created in her business.

She even proclaimed to the internet how she was planning to make 50,000 euros in just 4 months in her business.

I watched from the sidelines as Sara ticked off one big goal after the other but eventually she realized that there was one missing piece of the puzzle to make those dreams of 50k in 4 months feel really good….

*drum roll*

You guessed it… solid and clear contracts.

What happened after she put those in place?

Let’s just say the energy shifted even more, the boundaries were in place and she’s called in some serious opportunities and clients that she shares more in the episode.

We’re breaking down her journey from operating without contracts (or with contract templates that didn’t fit her business) to confidently signing aligned, high-paying clients with structures that support her, protect her, and match the business she’s building.

Next Steps:

111 THIS 👀 could kill your email list overnight & how you avoid it

Laura Lange — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 01:00:00 -0700

Email marketing is one of the most powerful sales tools for online business owners.

And if you’ve been around the block of online business for a minute, you will have heard either me or one of your favourite sales coaches talk about how you cannot build your business only on social media. You need to know how to get your people off the socials and on to your email list.

While social media can be a great place to catch attention and get connections to new potential customers, your email list and your email marketing is often one of the best and most powerful places to actually convert those potential customers into paying customers.

But what many don’t realize is that there are strict requirements in place in the legislation that you as a business owner have to comply with to keep your email list legal and safe in the long term.

This includes following the requirements set out by your chosen email service provider and it also includes making sure that you are collecting proper marketing consents on your free and paid opt-in pages before you start emailing your new subscribers.

If your marketing consents aren’t compliant, you could literally risk losing your entire list overnight. Yikes.

To help us break this down, I’ve brought in two experts, Brian Dixon from the US, and Kolja Strübing from Germany in the EU. Because even though I’m a lawyer myself operating my own online business, this is a very niche area that I am not at all qualified to speak about alone and because the rules are not the same everywhere.

110 🆘 “My Business is booming and I've been so busy making sales that I didn’t get my contracts in place. What now?”

Laura Lange — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 09:14:47 -0700

You’ve sold out your 1:1 ✅
Your Stripe is pinging and ponging ✅
Your calendar’s full of dreamy client calls ✅

But your contracts?

A dusty PDF you pulled from your mentor’s mastermind portal in 2021… or worse... nonexistent.

We’re covering:
👉 What contracts you need in place if you’re serving clients online across borders
👉 Why generic contract templates don’t work for your high-touch, premium offer suite
👉 How contracts build trust with potential clients and reflect your maturity as a brand
👉 How clear agreements save you time, energy, and sleepless nights as you onboard and serve clients

If your business is booming but your backend is still duct-taped together… this episode is for you.

109 “Signed a 50K client 🤑” Sure… over 6 months, with 37+ hours/week. Did you mention that in your content too?

Laura Lange — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 01:00:00 -0700

We’ve all seen the money win posts…

💸 “Just hit a 10K month!”
💸 “Signed a 50K client!”
💸 “My client hit 6 figures from one funnel!”

And while those posts can be true… If the context is left out, they can be both misleading and violating the marketing legislation in your country.

In this episode, I’m putting my lawyer hat on (ok, it never really comes off) to walk you through:

👉 Why income screenshots and bold money claims can be a violation of applicable marketing laws

👉 How these trends energetically break trust with your audience

👉What to do instead to build a brand that’s not just magnetic but also legally compliant

I don’t share this episode to shame anyone in the online business space.

I share it because I want you to have the full picture when you consume content online.

But also because I want you to keep this in mind when you market your offers and services online, so you can sell with integrity without opening your inbox to a letter from the marketing authorities.

If your business coach ever told you to “share your Stripe screenshots” to build authority, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

👉The legal risks you’re facing as a business owner when you share money wins in your content without context

👉Why “money wins” can harm your brand more than help it

👉My personal approach to content that builds trust (without ever sharing how much money I make)

👉What to say instead to stay compliant, aligned, and powerful in your messaging

107 Why writing “sign 3 new clients” in your pink planner as your Q3 goal doesn't work and what to focus on instead

Laura Lange — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 01:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I’m breaking down why I spent 2 whole quarters refining my backend, rebuilding my funnels, and rewriting sales pages without obsessing over my monthly income.

If you’ve ever written “sign 3 clients” or “make 50k” at the top of your planner and felt instantly defeated halfway through the month because it didn’t happen… this episode is for you.

We’re talking:
👉 Why “sign 3 clients” is NOT a business strategy (and what to track instead)
👉 The difference between being busy and being productive
👉 How I went from short launches and no overview of where I was taking the business to a company that’s being built on a clean structure that can hold the pieces together for years to come.
👉 The signs you’re moving as an employee in your business and how to shift into time rich CEO energy instead (and how you’ll know when you’re operating as one or the other).

This episode is a loving nudge to stop focusing on signing more clients and start maturing your company so clients will come in and stay for years - over and over again.

Let’s clean it up and make it work long-term.

Next Steps:

THE TIME RICH CEO’S QUARTERLY MAPPING RITUAL (Q3 EDITION) is happening on Wednesday June 25 at 01.00pm GMT+3 (Greek time).

106 You Don’t Need Another Guru in Your Ears (You Need You)

Laura Lange — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 01:00:00 -0700

In this behind-the-scenes drop from my live workshop PAGES OF POWER, I’m sharing a practice that I’ve been working with over the last 2 months and now it’s your turn.

We’re talking about why recording meditations in your own voice is one of THE most powerful shifts you can make in your meditation practice and how it can help you build more self-trust and belief in your business.

This isn’t about thinking happy thoughts or adding more “mindset work” to your to-do list.

This is about speaking directly to your nervous system in a voice it actually trusts: yours.

If you’ve been consuming random Youtube meditation but not quite feeling them land or make a difference in your practice... this is the missing piece.

What You’ll Hear Inside:

Why your voice signals safety to your system
Why meditations in your own words land deeper than any guru’s affirmations
How this one practice rewires your self-concept faster than journaling 3 things you’re grateful for ever could
Why specificity, memory, and repetition are the real magic behind belief work

This episode is a snippet from PAGES OF POWER, my brand-new workshop that’s now available to stream on demand.

You’ll learn how to turn your business wins and achievements into a beautiful meditation that tells the story of your own life and anchors your nervous system and your business growth in this present moment.

105 The VIP Day That Marked the End of My Cute Little Online Business Era

Laura Lange — Mon, 26 May 2025 01:00:00 -0700

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m bringing you into the full debrief of my recent VIP day with my mentor Gabi Metz here in Athens, Greece.

A day that wasn’t just luxurious or strategic… it was a frequency shift that marked the end of the “cute little online business” version of me, and the beginning of something much bigger.

We talk about the identity shifts, the visibility wounds, the belief work that runs everything in our business (even when you have the “perfect” strategy).

This isn’t just a recap and story about how I had fun in Athens for 8 hours.

It’s a portal for you.

And if you’ve been building something that’s working but holding back in how big it gets to be?

This is the one you want to hear.

What You’ll Hear Inside:

The real reason I said no to this VIP day the first time (and why I finally said yes).
How belief work shows up in everything (pricing, offers, visibility, leadership)
The moment I stopped running my biz like a side project and started building like a legacy brand
A full BTS look at the experience (the strategy convos, rooftop cocktails, cold plunges, and diamond jeans 💎)
Why I didn’t crash after this experience (and how I’m holding this frequency as my new baseline)
3 prompts to apply this energy to your own business this week

Next Steps:

My online live workshop PAGES OF POWER is happening Friday May 30 2025 at 01.00pm GMT+3 (Greece time). This is a frequency upgrade for ambitious online entrepreneurs who’ve done “the work” but still feel behind. Join now at €33!

104 What they called “quitting law” was really the beginning of the life I actually wanted to live 💎

Laura Lange — Mon, 12 May 2025 01:00:00 -0700

DOORS TO THE TIME RICH CEO AUDIO VAULT ARE OPEN AT €48! PRICE GOES UP SOON.

They called it quitting.

I call it coming home to myself, my energy, and the business model I was always meant to run.

In this raw and real episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my transition from law to full-time entrepreneurship.

Not the highlight reel version with cinnamon cappuccinos and cats.

The real version.

The one with messy podcast episodes, failed launches, and long days wondering why my business felt like an uphill battle when it was meant to set me free.

I share the exact moment I knew something had to change and how I slowly started creating a business that actually supports my nervous system, honors my time, and pays me well without draining my soul.

We talk digital detoxes, pasta lunches, midday breaks, and the power of designing a business that works with your body, not against it.

This episode isn’t just my story. It’s a frequency shift for yours.

What You’ll Hear Inside:

The belief that carried me through the scariest pivots: “There has to be a better way.”
How simplifying my day and my offers actually made me more money
Why self-trust was the real strategy that changed everything
A breakdown of what aligned, sustainable business looks like and how to start creating it for yourself
The behind-the-scenes of building an online business on your terms without 10-hour days, pushy sales tactics, or burning it to the ground before you’ve even started.

103 I Was Told Not to Build a Website 👅 So I Did It Anyway

Laura Lange — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0700

What happens when you're told not to build a website... and then realize it's exactly what your business (and nervous system) has been craving?

In this episode, I’m sharing the full-circle story behind launching my new digital home and why it’s one of the most freeing, strategic moves I’ve made in my business in a long time..

After a much-needed social media detox, I started to really notice the cracks in my business:

👉 The constant explaining

👉 The link chaos

👉 The pressure to always be “on.”

So I finally built what I’d been avoiding for a long time: A grounded, centralized website that now represents my digital time rich universe.

We’ll dive into:

Why I resisted building a website for so long (even while scaling my business)
The exact moment I realized not having a website was actually costing me my time and clients
How my new website supports long-term strategy, client experience, and mental clarity
Why this move felt like claiming an entirely new level of leadership in my brand and business
A little gentle rant on cold-pitch DMs, marketing consent, and respecting your audience’s trust by complying with applicable marketing laws 👀
And the mindset shift that helped me go all in with long-game energy

This isn’t just about a website.

It’s about always looking for ways to make your business feel more sustainable, creating more clarity for yourself and your clients and building a business that feels as good as it looks.

Whether you’ve been hiding your brilliance behind Canva links and Insta Story Highlights, or you’re ready to step into your time rich era with more structure and strategy — this one’s for you.

102 I took a 7-day social media detox 💁‍♀️ Here’s why and what happened

Laura Lange — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I’m sharing what came up during my social media detox, how it impacted my productivity & presence, and what I’ll never go back to.

If you feel a little more glued to your phone than you really want to be... this one's for you.

I’m pulling back the curtain on why I decided to unplug (even though things were going well) and what it revealed about how I’d been running my business (and my nervous system).

I’ll touch on why doing less is sometimes the boldest strategy of them all, how social media was quietly draining my creativity, what boundaries I’m now putting in place for long-term energy, presence & sales and the simple gratitude practice that keeps me grounded AF (that I will be sharing with you soon - if you’re inside 4 Hour Work Day Foundation that is!)

If you're building a business that’s meant to support your life (not consume it), this is your permission slip to do things differently.

Next Steps:

Join us inside The 4 Hour Work Day Foundation and learn how to attract dreamy clients on repeat while cutting your working hours in half

Join us inside 4 Hour Work Day Freedom and become the TIME RICH CEO of your soon-to-be empire where you work less and earn more and your success doesn't come at the cost of your energy, well-being or the life you left your 9-5 to create.

101 How Anouk cut her work days from 12+ hours to 5 hours with Time Rich daily rituals 🕰💸

Laura Lange — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 01:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I chat with my client (and my investment coach!), Anouk Knuffmann, about the exact shifts that helped her cut her workday down from 12+ hours to an average of 5 hours a day while stacking consistent income in her business.

We dive into how she’s implemented daily sustainable habits into her routine and how creating more space in her schedule and mind helped her reclaim time for herself, her daughter and her partner while almost selling out her group program teaching women how to invest their money through the auto-millionaire method.

This episode is a beautiful description of what it actually feels like to finally stop overworking.

If you’re craving structure, space, and a schedule that actually supports your life, this is the episode for you.

97 How I record talking videos in less than 2 minutes without overthinking what to say 🤳

Laura Lange — Sun, 26 Jan 2025 23:00:00 -0800

Do you ever wish you could learn exactly how to show up on video like a pro without spending hours worrying about what to say or what your hair looks like? 👑

Me too...

When I first started my business, I would avoid the camera like the plague, and every time I spoke on it I would overthink what to say, record 47 small videos that took forever to cut into one video and then rewatch my stories 10x to make sure it was *good enough* 😵‍💫

Now, it takes me 2 minutes to film and call in dream clients who are the perfect match for my coaching🤳

In this episode I share exactly how you can get started as well.

96 Taking Mondays off every week doesn’t look like working more on the weekends 🫠

Laura Lange — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 23:00:00 -0800

Taking Mondays off looks like having your tasks planned out for the week, adding a CEO day to your weeks and leaving your phone on airplane mode when you work 💅

When you have a clear system to plan your time, weekends can be for rest.

And Mondays? They’re your day off.

This is what we dive into inside this episode 🕰️💸

Also, my 30th birthday is in a few days and we are gonna have a party to celebrate 🎈

91 It’s time for a makeover 💄

Laura Lange — Sun, 08 Dec 2024 23:00:00 -0800

The Zen Desk Podcast is getting a makeover! 🎉

And it's coming back prettier, stronger and more sparkly on December 15 2024 🪩

Mark your calendar!!

Over the past 6 months, I’ve been bringing all my skills together into one aligned brand and business—and the response has been incredible.

My two signature programs, 4 Hour Work Day Foundation and 4 Hour Work Day Freedom, have been flying off the shelves, delivering amazing results for my clients.

We’re talking about clients quitting their 9-5s, firing corporate clients, and reducing their working hours by up to 50% per week—all while building more balanced, fulfilling lives.

*looove*

Naturally, I realized it was time for The Zen Desk Podcast to catch up with the Time Rich movement growing in my corner of the internet.

The podcast will continue to deliver episodes every other week, and I’ve got some great episodes coming your way before we unplug for Christmas.

This rebrand will better reflect my mission of helping business owners build structures that balance work and wellness, so they can make more money and feel amazing in their body and business.

While we prepare for the new look and feel behind the scenes, I want to make sure you’re up to date with some of my most popular episodes:

👉 Episode 78: How Brian went from hustling for clients on Fiverr to travelling around Bali with an inbox of clients wanting to work with him (Interview with my incredible client Brian Dixon)

👉 Episode 80: How Aleksandra launched her website, Instagram & several online offers in less than 4 months (Interview with my incredible client Aleksandra Edelwein)

👉 Episode 86: Why and how I took one month off from my online business and what I learned

👉 Episode 88: Behind the scenes of how I launched 3 new signature offers in Q3

That’s all from me for now.

I’ll be back soon with more updates on the podcast makeover💄

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the podcast! Are there topics you’d love me to cover? Send me a DM on Instagram @itslauralange ⁠⁠⁠ to let me know!

And you know me - ofc there'll be prizes when the new episodes go live 🏆

87 Good girls don’t need to be told to do more

Laura Lange — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 23:00:00 -0700

I quit 75 Hard and in this episode I share why I’m perfectly fine with it

For those of you that don’t know what this is, 75 Hard is a mental toughness challenge that asks you to follow these guidelines for 75 days straight:

No alcohol
No cheatmeals
2 x 45 min workouts (one outside)
Drink 3 l water
Read 10 pages
Progress photo

I also added a re-commitment to my screentime boundaries because I felt my social media consumption was getting a little out of hand.

In this live I share with you why I decided that 75 Hard wasn’t for me (or for any other good girls for that matter) and what I recommend doing instead.

This approach that I’m sharing in this episode is very aligned with how I teach inside my new group program 4 Hour Work Day Freedom.

This is is a 12-week group coaching container where you’ll get ready to reclaim your time, grow your business fast and attract *pinch me* dream clients who pay you your highest rate while only working 4 hours a day (no weekends ever).

You can get in at EUR 777 for the regular pass and at EUR 999 for the VIP Upgrade.

Other options to work with me:

Join The 4 Hour Work Day Foundation at EUR 197.

86 Why and how I took one month off from my online business and what I learned

Laura Lange — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 23:00:00 -0700

This "you can never take a break from your business" advice…

It is the kind of advice that can do more harm than good, especially for business owners that have always been best in class and used to get good grades.

The reason most new business owners feel like they can never take time off from their business is because they are afraid they won't make any money.

But listen…

❌ Making good money means nothing if you're chained to your laptop 24/7

❌ Making good money means nothing if you're going to bed at midnight using your phone as your cuddly toy

❌ Making good money means nothing if you're locked up inside your house and can never go out with friends and enjoy where you live

That’s why in today’s episode I share with you why I took one month off from my business, how I planned for it to still show up online and what I learned.

And if you’re ready to finally take control of your business so that it works for you instead of the other way around, I invite you to join my new program 4 Hour Work Day Freedom.

This is for you if you are ready for the exact roadmap to working 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, so you can grow your business 10 x faster.

⁠4 Hour Work Day Freedom⁠ is a 12-week group coaching container for the online business owner who is ready to reclaim their time, grow their business fast and attract *pinch me* dream clients who pay them their highest rate while only working 4 hours a day (no weekends ever).

It’s on early bird sale with a EUR 111 discount, and you’ll get free access to my 2-week program The 4 Hour Work Day Foundation as a bonus.

This program is designed to help you build the systems and structure inside your business to create the stability you need to step away from your business without it falling apart.

So if you’re ready to take the leap and finally get the freedom you’ve been craving, get inside now.

Hurry up because the price goes up by EUR 111 on October 2 2024 and the free access to The 4 Hour Work Day Foundation disappears on October 9 2024. Join us!

70 [REAL TALK] Here's Why I'm Selling All My Furniture To Work When, Where & How I Want

Laura Lange — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -0700

I've sold all my furniture. As this episode is going live, I'm taking client calls while sitting cross legged in the middle of my "used to be" living room.

💫 It's not glamourous.

💫 It's not a fancy corner office with a view to the ocean.

💫 And I definitely can't wear a pencil skirt and high heels while sitting here.
But I don't care.

Because the work I get to do from my living room floor today is everything I dreamed about 1 year ago ❤️‍🔥

Serving the most incredible clients from the other side of the world:

➡️ Coaching a client in Indonesia.

➡️ Meeting a new legal connection from India.

All while serving the rest of my clients in Denmark, Sweden and the U.S. through WhatsApp and emails 🌍🤳
And it's one of those days where I remind myself why I built my online business in the first place.

1️⃣ To work where I want.

2️⃣ When I want.

3️⃣ And how I want.

Now that's real freedom if you ask me 🚀

Tune into this episode to hear more about what's actually going on behind the scenes and how I use my sustainable habits and yoga practice to guide me through the transition.

69 What My Mentor Told Me When I Felt Caged Inside My 9-5 ⎮ Interview With Brent Laffoon

Laura Lange — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0700

Today I'm sharing a very special conversation I had with my mentor, Brent Laffoon, who helped me navigate through that feeling of being caged inside my 9-5.

I just had this feeling that there was more for me out there but I wasn’t really sure how to go about it. Maybe you've felt the same?

Now, one thing is to learn what to do from a more strategic, business and career point of view, but a whole other thing is how to navigate the emotions and personal struggles that we face when we find ourselves feeling caged.

Something that helped me tremendously was having a person like Brent to support me as I made my way through.

Brent was my mentor and guide through this transition and he helped me understand that there are more ways to live life. You don’t necessarily have to stay in the corporate grind if you don’t want to or you can choose to stay and set up structures for yourself that make life feel more free, flexible and enjoyable.

Tune in and listen to Brent's wisdom!

61 The 3 mistakes to avoid if you want to become a match for a higher salary, your dream apartment and more flexible work hours in 2024

Laura Lange — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0800

In today's episode we are going to talk about the 3 mistakes to avoid if you want to become a match for a higher salary, your dream apartment and more flexible work hours in 2024!

What I’ve noticed in my own career and the people I’ve come across in the corporate world is that so many of us are stuck in a daily routine that is actually not setting us up to achieve all these goals.

So many women come to me feeling unfulfilled in their careers and like something is missing but they don’t understand why because seemingly they are doing everything right:

They are hitting the gym early in the morning before going into the office, they’re grabbing their latte on the way into the office and rushing to get behind their laptop so they can check their emails before anyone else arrives (just to get a head start). Yet they still feel like something is missing…

Tune into this episode to hear what mistakes to avoid to shift out of this cycle.

59 Are you busy or are you productive?

Laura Lange — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 03:00:00 -0700

Have you ever found yourself caught in the cycle of constantly telling people how busy you are?

Does this conversation sound familiar?

*you waiting for your coffee to pour out of the coffee machine and a colleague walks up to you*

Them: “Hey there, how are you?”

You: “Oh hello, I’m fine, just really busy at the moment, you know…”

Them: “Right, me too, this past week has been absolute madness”

As this conversation plays out, you’re reminded that you are behind on your to-do list, your inbox is flooded and you’re wondering how you’ll get on top of it because your calendar is packed with back-to-back meetings throughout the week.

So what if there was a way to break free from this pattern and stop operating from that constant state of overdrive?

Well that’s essentially what we are talking all about in today's episode on “Are you busy or are you productive?”

In this episode I offer you a couple of self-reflection questions that you can work with in your practice so it can be useful to have a pen and paper handy.

50 From Overwhelmed Business Student To Flourishing Business Graduate | Interview With Laura Tuomi

Laura Lange — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0700

This week I’m sitting down for a chat with my wonderful student, Laura Tuomi. She is a recent business school graduate from Copenhagen Business School.

In this interview Laura is going to share her story and I think many of you will be able to relate. We'll talk all about what it’s been like for her to move through a stressful education and manage all the responsibilities of job and private life on the side while trying to stay healthy and sane.

Laura has so many good inputs and perspectives and I’m just really excited for you to hear about how yoga has become such a pivotal part of her life and how she’s managing all her responsibilities today. She’s currently inside one of my programs, more specifically my private mentorship program, Free to Flourish, where we meet every week for a period of 3 months to build her confidence and get her up and running for the next chapter that she’s about to embark on - landing and starting her first full time job.

Laura has made such crazy moves and improvements since she joined this program. She’s going to tell you much more in the episode but truly what this comes down to is that I really believe to my core that you get to build your dream career and a life you love when you are in close proximity to someone who is already where you want to be. That has been true for me in the many mentorships I’ve invested in but it’s definitely also been true for Laura and her journey through Free to Flourish.

47 The Key Ingredient To Changing Your Career Path | Interview with Lauren Kay from Legally Different

Laura Lange — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0700

This week I’m chatting to Lauren Kay, the founder of Legally Different and we are going to talk about all things human design and how this method can help you when you're at a crossroad in your career and wondering what to do next.

Now if you’re thinking “what the heck is human design and what is going on?” then don’t worry. I had no clue about human design just a few years ago and it is only recently that I’ve started diving into it myself.

Lauren will give you a thorough explanation of all things human design but just to give you a quick idea of what it’s all about essentially human design is a logical system that brings together principles of many different spiritual practices such as astrology, the chakra system which you may have heard me talk about before in relation to yoga and also quantum physics. And in this episode we talk all about how to apply human design in your everday busy corporate life.

Lauren is a former "Big Law" lawyer who's been on a journey to experiment with soul-aligned ways of working (even in careers like law). She’s passionate about human potential and deeply driven by a desire to transform the one-size-fits-all path that can leave us feeling unfulfilled. Lauren believes that we are all incredibly unique and have our own codes for success - when we tap into these, it not only fulfills us individually, but has a ripple effect on the teams and organisations that we form part of. If you're interested to learn more about Lauren, you can find her on Instagram @legallydifferent or visit her website.

45 Change Is Coming!

Laura Lange — Mon, 08 May 2023 03:00:27 -0700

THIS IS THE LAST EPISODE OF THE HATHA YOGA PODCAST AS YOU KNOW IT!

Tune in to this episode to hear what's going on and what will happen.

I'm always looking for ways to make sure I'm serving you the best way possible with my products and offers.

And I decided it's time to rebrand The Hatha Yoga Podcast but before I do so I'd love to know what you’d like to see (or should I say *hear*) more of?

When I launched The Hatha Yoga Podcast last year, my intention was to share audio yoga classes so you could learn yoga without having to look at a screen.

While I'm still absolutely in love with that idea and love to practice like that myself, the format is just too narrow for all the things I want to share with you on the podcast. So we are giving it a face lift and expect to be back ON beginning of June. Stay tuned!

44 All The Things They Don't Teach You In School (Like How To Not Cry In Corporate Meetings) | Interview with Abigail Siu

Laura Lange — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 00:00:37 -0700

Today we are talking about all the stuff that they don’t teach you in law school or university. We dive into all unspoken challenges that we face as women in the legal industry. We do speak a lot about female lawyers today but if you’re working in some other corporate function or studying in a different field, I’m sure there are still plenty of stories that you can relate to. Tune into this episode to hear more.

I've invited Abigail Siu on to the show. She is a Sport and Exercise Psychologist working with those in sport, corporate and business to help them overcome their roadblocks to success so they can feel great about themselves physically and mentally to crush their goals. She practices a client-centered approach, where she believes that clients know themselves the best, and, as a practitioner, her role is to assist and keep them accountable to the standard they've set for themselves. If you're interested to learn more about Abi, you can find her on Instagram ⁠@abigail.siu⁠ or visit her ⁠website⁠.

This episode is a 20 minute meditation practice that can be done anywhere whether you want to sit or lie down. Tune in for a short break in your day as we go on a journey through your next big challenge, whether that is an exam, a presentation, maybe a job interview or something else?

In this meditation, I guide you through the best possible outcome. It is no secret that I love visualizations and I've used this tool in my personal practice quite a lot over the last couple of months. This meditation will bring you into a more positive state of mind so you can begin to look at your next big challenge with a "I can do this" attitude and let the "it's probably never going to work out" attitude take the backseat.

42 Why Are We So Busy Telling Everyone That We're Lawyers? | Interview with Whitney Harvey

Laura Lange — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 00:00:09 -0700

Today, I talk to Whitney Harvey, the Principal of The Self Coached Lawyer, LLC, a company based out of the Phoenix, Arizona area. After successfully litigating for 12 years, she chose to step away from practicing law, focusing instead on helping lawyers thrive personally and professionally.

We talk about the “lawyer identity” phenomenon. A lot of (aspiring) lawyers are “guilty” of this trend and it starts pretty early on in law school. As soon as we get drawn into the world of law, we start to identify as “law students” or “lawyers”. It becomes part of our identity and who we are quickly fades into the background as we begin to introduce ourselves as “law students” or “lawyers” to those around us.

In this episode we explore why this happens and what we can do to connect back to other areas of our personality and identity so we can zoom out and remind ourselves that we are so much more than lawyers (or whatever profession you are in). We have many other sides and identities to explore but sometimes it feels like we need to hide it when we go to work. So what can we do to merge all our different personality traits? Tune into this episode to hear more.

If you're interested to learn more about Whitney, you can find her on Instagram @theselfcoachedlawyer or visit her website.

39 Managing Anxiety In The Legal Profession | Interview with Molly Hough

Laura Lange — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 03:00:09 -0700

Are you an aspiring lawyer struggling to find your balance with studies? Or did you just start out with your first full time job? Most associates feel overwhelmed and lost in their first years of practice because they were never taught the everyday practical skills needed to be an excellent attorney. If this sounds familiar, this episode is the medicine for you!

Today, we take a break from our physical practice and sit down for a chat. I talk to attorney and founder of Juris Consult Institute, Molly Hough. Molly is a young female attorney specialized in litigation and quite a powerhouse. She focuses on teaching young associates all the things we were never taught in law school or in our first jobs. Many of these unwritten rules and strategies are essential to surviving in the legal world but most of us end up trying to learn it all by ourselves only adding to the overwhelm we felt in the first place. Thank God, we have Molly to change that! We talk about Molly's experience with law school, her first years of practice and how she dealt with her anxiety through it all. I’m sure you’ll find this chat very inspiring!

If you're interested to learn more about Molly, you can find her on Instagram @jurisconsult_institute or visit her website.

37 My Top 3 Tips To Create Boundaries Between Your Work Life And Personal Life

Laura Lange — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 06:45:00 -0800

Today, we take a break from our physical practice and sit down for a chat.

Last week I posted a reel on Instagram that seemed to resonate with a lot of people. In this piece of content I pointed out that a lot of people seem to be obsessed with letting everyone know how busy they are. Do you know this scenario? Someone comes up to you and asks you “How are you?” and your first instinct is to respond “Oh I’m fine, just super busy you know”.

That’s why I thought it’d be great to dive a little deeper into this topic and so in today's episode I thought I'd bring awareness to this issue because most of us don’t even realize that we’re doing it. It is so ingrained for most of us and that's why I want to talk about how we can get conscious of it and start setting some healthy boundaries to protect our energy and mental health. Because guess what? You don't always need to be in a state of overdrive.

Make sure you stay until the end as I'm making a very exciting announcement!

36 Finding Your Path | Interview with Navneet Man

Laura Lange — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 00:00:10 -0800

Today, we take a break from our physical practice and sit down for a chat. The roles are reversed this week and I have the honor of being interviewed by coach and former lawyer, Navneet Man. This episode was originally released on Nav's podcast The Aligned Freedom Podcast and I decided to release it here as well so you can hear more about my story and journey.

Are you not really sure where you're going in life and just rushing from one thing to the next without clarity? Then this episode is for you!

Here's what Nav had to say about the episode: "WHO AM I? A simple yet powerful question that most of us do not ponder often enough. If you're like most, you've likely picked a career path based on what made "sense". You may have blindly continued on that path until one day realizing you're not happy and being forced to make a change. That's what happened with my guest Laura Lange. Laura is a lawyer turned yogi who, after experiencing a traumatic life event, asked herself... Who am I? That simple question allowed her to explore her real self and find yoga - a practice that has changed her life so much so that she now teaches it as her business. This is a powerful conversation about self-discovery and realignment that you don't want to miss!"

I’m sure you’ll find this chat very inspiring and will want to rush to your yoga mat afterwards (or while listening!)

The classes that I share with you are a mix of classes I've recorded while teaching in-person and online, so sometimes you might hear me talking to a student or mentioning a name, a weekday or something else specifically related to that class.

I do my best to instruct the class so you know what to do even though you cannot see me. If at some point during the class, you don't know what to do, stay calm and do what you feel like. There's always room to do more or less, it's your practice. If you find yourself lost in the class because I go off and talk to a student, just do your best to stay in the posture with your own experience and notice what's going on.

Thank you so much for practicing!
