episode description
We are so excited for this week’s episode with Lauren Rich, co-owner of Backyard Boston! Lauren joins us to share her journey of transforming an outdoor fitness community into a thriving business with multiple locations across the city. From launching their first space in South Bay in 2022 to opening The Yahd in 2023, Lauren and her partners have taken bold risks to redefine the fitness scene in Boston. Now, they’re preparing for their biggest move yet—bringing both concepts under one roof in Fort Point. Along the way, Lauren has balanced the intense demands of entrepreneurship with the realities of motherhood, navigating pregnancy, labor, and postpartum while scaling her business!
In this episode, we dive into what it really takes to build a lasting fitness studio, the challenges of running a business with partners, and the raw truths of balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship. As a mom to three kids (two of them twins!) Lauren opens up about making tough business decisions, dealing with mom guilt, and what it really takes to find balance. Enjoy!
