What No One Tells You About Becoming a Stay-at-Home Mom - Meet Laura | Ep. 18

What really happens when you go from working 50+ hours a week to becoming a full-time stay-at-home mom?

In this episode of Mindi on the Mic: From Stigma to Connection, Mindi sits down with her longtime friend Laura Lawson—wife, mom of two under two, and former nonprofit staffer turned full-time parent. From spontaneous college road trips to unexpected roommate days, Laura and Mindi share the evolution of their friendship and dive deep into the often-unspoken transitions of motherhood.

Laura opens up about:

• The identity shift of becoming a stay-at-home mom

• How she dealt with isolation, boredom, and "mom guilt"

• The importance of community, routine, and iced coffee (of course)

• Whether she plans to return to work (and why she sometimes wants to)

• How she combats decision fatigue and finds peace in small wins

Whether you're a mom, thinking about motherhood, or simply curious about what it's really like behind the highlight reels—this conversation is warm, real, and full of encouragement for anyone navigating change.
