Empower House

Episode 03: From isolation to connection - how to build genuine business relationships

In this episode of the Empower House podcast, I’m diving into a topic that’s been a game-changer for me personally and professionally—networking. If you’ve ever felt awkward, isolated, or just completely drained by traditional networking events, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why I created the Brunch Club—to bring people together in a way that feels natural, supportive, and actually fun.
I share how the Brunch Club was born from my own need for connection, and how it’s grown into a space where real relationships and collaborations are built—no sales pitches, no pressure. I also walk you through how to make the most of any networking event, whether you’re showing up in person or joining online.
You’ll hear my tips on setting clear intentions, managing your time well, and showing up in a way that aligns with your business goals and your energy. We’re talking about building relationships that feel good and lead to opportunities—not just collecting business cards.
If you’re ready to shift from feeling isolated to truly connected in business, this one’s for you.

Episode 02: Streamlining business systems

In this episode of the Empower House podcast, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of how I completely overhauled my business systems. I hit pause on client work to rebuild everything—from a messy mix of platforms (think: total Frankenstein setup) to a streamlined, all-in-one system using Go High Level.
I talk about why I made the shift, how I reduced manual tasks and double-handling, and how consolidating everything under one roof cut down my subscription costs and saved me serious time. These changes didn’t just make running events smoother—they helped keep my business running during one of the biggest transitions of my life: having twins.
If you’ve been feeling like your systems are holding you back, or you’re just over the tech juggle, I walk you through the approach I used to clean it all up. Whether you’re working solo or running a small team, this episode is packed with practical tips to help you streamline, reclaim your time, and get back to growing your business.

Episode 01: Lauren Bryant & the Empower House story

Welcome to the first ever episode of the Empower House Podcast! I'm Lauren Bryant—business systems strategist, networking event host, and founder of Empower House and The Brunch Club. I'm also a proud new mum to twin girls, based on the sunny Gold Coast.
In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind Empower House—how I went from managing smash repair businesses in a male-dominated industry to being unexpectedly unemployed, to launching my business out of necessity (and a healthy dose of stubbornness).
You'll hear how I went from life coaching dreams to offering business systems and strategy support, and why I quickly realised that small business owners don’t just need motivation—they need practical tools, support, and community.
I also talk about the origins of The Brunch Club—why traditional networking events weren’t working for me, and how I created something different: no pitches, no pressure, just real connections over brunch.
Whether you're just starting out, looking to pivot, or craving a community that actually gets what it's like to run a business—you’ll find something here for you.
