From law to entrepreneurship to venture capital: This is what building power actually looks like.

We’re told there’s a “right way” to live. To build. To balance motherhood, marriage, and ambition. But what if the real work is becoming stable on your own first? In this episode of BILF Pod, Lisa Sutton joins Mara for a grounded conversation on motherhood, identity, partnership, and building businesses without losing yourself. No hustle culture. No perfection myth. Just clarity, structure, and lived perspective. This episode isn’t about doing it all — It’s about doing it aligned. 00:00 – 00:40 Intro 00:40 – 02:00 Welcome & Show Introduction 02:00 – 06:00 Guest Background & Career Overview 06:00 – 11:00 Taking Risks & Starting from Zero 11:00 – 17:00 Mindset Shift & Personal Growth 17:00 – 23:00 Building Businesses Strategically 23:00 – 28:00 Leadership & Decision Making 28:00 – 34:00 Purpose, Motivation & Drive 34:00 – 40:00 Overcoming Obstacles & Setbacks 40:00 – 46:00 Personal Habits & Structure 46:00 – 51:00 Advice for Entrepreneurs & Women in Business 51:00 – 53:00 21-Day Challenge & Call to Action 53:00 – 53:40 Outro Get Connected: Follow Mara Dorne → @maradorne Follow Lisa Sutton Gunderson → @lisasongsutton Follow the Podcast → ‪@bilfpod‬
