“I had to do a lot of mindset work around starting to trust myself, building my confidence, telling myself that I could do this and there was nothing more empowering for me than actually launching and continuing to grow.”In this episode of Startups in Stilettos, Ingrid sits down with Courtney Boylan, founder of Le Lolo, a stylish postpartum essentials brand designed to remind new moms of their strength and beauty. After navigating postpartum herself, Courtney decided to work to create a better experience for Mamaprenistas everywhere. She shares her candid journey from overcoming fear of failure and imposter syndrome, to launching a business with 0% experience but 110% drive.Courtney offers practical tips on building visibility, leveraging community, and balancing the challenges of being a Mamaprenista. Whether you're building your own business or just finding a need in your own village, this episode is packed with empowering insights and encouragement to take that leap — because, as Courtney proves, you won't regret it.
