THE Business Coach for Vibrant Women Growing a Business you LOVE! | Coaches, Consultants, Course Creators & Creatives | Founder Totally You | Global Speaker | Super-connector & Sisterhood | Mum of 3

You deserve a business where you work with your dream clients, earning the income you want to and enjoy the freedom you crave.

You're bloody brilliant at what you do, whether that be coaching, consulting or creating.  

BUT, you get stressed out with the sales & marketing side of things as you've never been shown how to attract, nurture & convert your dream clients in today's fast-paced and highly competitive world.  

If you worked in corporate for years, like me, there was always teams of people to do that & experts you could talk to solve problems, right?! 

Now, out in the wild west of entrepreneurship, you find yourself lonely and overwhelmed, not being able to prioritise the money-making activities that will help you to grow your much needed business and keep attracting those dreamy clients!  

This is where I come in my love (yes, I'm from the north of England and love a 'darling, sweetheart or love!').
  
I created Totally You as a movement to ignite vibrant women to grow a profitable business that does great, feels great, and IS great! 💜

I work with female business owners like you to grow your business and protect your sanity & energy as you achieve your wildest dreams! 

⚡Sisterhood is my jam so please come along to one of our free monthly super-connector sessions to ignite your network with fabulous women who will cheer you along every step of the way!  https://www.laurabrunton.com/networking.
⚡You're going to love my  Group Coaching Programme, the Ignited Accelerator which helps you to grow and stabilise those £5k+ months, supported closely by me and the most incredible women in business |(£2k+vat): https://www.laurabrunton.com/accelerator-2-0.
⚡If you're already close to the £10k months and beyond you'll love working with me on a 121 basis. I help you to scale in a sustainable way, giving you back the time and energy that you're burning through and a clear and exciting strategy to implement (starts at £6k-£10k).

As a mum of three young children, I know all too well how all-consuming growing your business can be and how high the stakes are for you: failure is not an option, nor is spending 7 hours a day on LinkedIn & having coffee chats with people who just want to 'pick your (considerable) brains.'  

I'd love to show you the exact steps to magnetise your dream clients, confidently sell your fab services an feel like you are truly building something special.

High energy, hugs and the most incredible experiences are guaranteed when we join forces! 

Come and say hi in my DM’s! 💌

You can love your clients.

You can be obsessed with your work.

You can be living the life you once dreamed about…

And still have moments where you want to shrink.

That little voice of self-doubt doesn’t disappear when you hit new levels, it can still try and derail the growth train and get louder when you’re stepping into bigger things.

Even when business is booming.

Even when you’re doing what you love.

Even when you’re rocking your power suit.

I tell myself that I don't have to feel fearless to show up like a boss.

I just have to move anyway.

So if today feels shaky: breathe, straighten that crown and take the next step anyway.

You didn’t come this far to start shrinking now.

You’re here to lead, to rise, and to remind yourself exactly who you are.

Can I get a hell yes?! 🙌🏼 


PS It’s just your brain trying to keep you safe.

PPS Thanks to Kier Adair and Barbara Sylvester  for the fab photographer after my keynote (where I did have a wobble and smashed it anyway!)

No alternative text description for this image

"It's easy for you Laura, you're so bubbly & confident."

T'is true that I am.

T'is true I have always been largely so.

(I'm the oldest of 3 with a super loving and chatty mum, and us northerners can really talk, right?!)

BUT (TW: you know there's a but)

I've been bullied horrifically in childhood, by the school mums and in business.

My best friends through high school stopped talking to me when I was 14 and completely dropped me and shunned me. 

My parents got divorced, enter police & court cases.

My ex boyfriend at uni was so violent and controlling that I had to flee home, change uni's and move back in with my mum at 19.

My next boyfriend also beat me, cheated on me and gaslit me to the point where I thought I was going mad.

My new flatmate at uni became obsessed with me and it took a trip to hospital to get her out of the house.

Whilst I have 3 beautiful, happy and healthy children, I've also lost 3 babies.

Fast forward to now - I've also been:

Bitched about
Slagged off
Laughed at
Ripped off
Ignored 
Left out

And trust me, all of the above is only a fraction of some of the crap I've dealt with.

I share this, not to trigger anyone, not for you to get the violin out, and certainly not for click bait...

But to say that every day is a chance for all of us choose our story NOW. 

To be more conscious and intentional of the people around us. The stories we consume. The stories we tell (especially to ourselves).

I'm sure you've got your own stories too my friend 🫶

So yes, whilst I am confident and bubbly, I choose to be because of the bad times, not despite them.

I'll always choose the light.

I'll always choose to believe the best about people. 

Proud of you Little Laura.

Proud of us all 💜

Here’s what I know about launching 👇

After selling out The Ignited Accelerator for the 6th time

(120 women and counting)…

🔴 IT’S NOT OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER

The end of a launch feels rough.

You’re tired.
Sick of your own voice.
Convinced you’ve said way too much.
Tempted to call it early.

Don’t.

Up to 50% of your sales can come in the last 24 hours.

People are busy.

They forget.
They wait.
They decide late.

This time?

4 women joined right at the end.
And 2 already locked in for 2026.

So yeah… note to self: never stop early.

Here’s more 👇

Momentum wins.
Personal reach outs beat everything.
And when people see inside our offer, they’re in.
I’m proud of what that says.

Launch fatigue is real.
But quitting too soon costs you incredible clients you’re meant to help.

Keep showing up.
See it through to the deadline.

That’s how we fill every round.

⬇️ What would you add?

❌ It's cost me £1,700 in expenses.

❌ Time away from family & clients.

6 events in 4 weeks.

600+ women.

Here’s why I did it:

✔️ To discover what’s actually working in business right now

✔️To meet brilliant women & expand my network

✔️To bring fresh insights, connections, and opportunities back to our clients

✔️And honestly? To stop myself from going stir crazy at home!

In person events demand money, time, and energy. They pull you out of your business... BUT they keep your reputation, ideas, relationships, and opportunities growing.

Our return on investment?

✅ New clients
✅ Speaker & podcast invites
✅ Collaboration opportunities everywhere
✅ Greater visibility for me, our business & our clients 

Sometimes the smartest business move isn’t another strategy session behind your laptop… it’s getting out there and talking to people.

150 women have their tickets booked for our 2026 event.

I wonder what opportunities you can make from this.

Come and join us here ⬇️

How to stay poor:

 ⭕️ Start tomorrow.
 ⭕️ Talk more. Do less.
 ⭕️ Fail once, quit forever.
 ⭕️ Blame your circumstances.
 ⭕️ Wait for perfect conditions.
 ⭕️ Stay busy. Accomplish nothing.

🟢I get asked this ALL the time...

🔴How can you work with your husband and not kill each other?

🟠Honestly, it's not always a bed of roses.

🟡We live, parent, work and generally are together most days, every day.

🟣Our family don't live close by so no time out, dates nights or down time.

🔵It's intense.

Luckily, after 20 years of growing together, we can confidently say...

We love the bones of each other and every day we get stronger.

Our women benefit from this too.

✔️Safety
✔️Security
✔️Stability
✔️Support
✔️Sisterhood
