Fringe & Flourish: Recent Episodes
Fringe & Flourish
What do you need to walk away from? Do you need to make a - PIVOT - in your life?
This week, we welcomed Kate Potter back on! (She was on Episode 2, if you recall)
After finding herself at a crossroads during the pandemic, Kate has decided to leave behind coaching. She talks about what it means to pivot, what it means to be a student, and her thoughts and feelings on the coaching and fitness industries. She also opens up about why she’s finishing her degree, what she’s now focusing on in life, and what triggered the shift.
Pivoting isn’t about doing something better or leaving behind something bad. It’s about being resilient and doing something DIFFERENT.
What do you need to let go of? How can being a student catapult you forward? You can find Kate on social media at @katecoaches, and check out her podcast called On The Upswing!
What do you know about staging a home?
What about starting your own business from the ground up?
In this week's episode, my guest Sherrie and I dive into both!
We also beg the question as to what came first: the chicken or the egg? Through this, we dissect the process of finding inspiration, developing a plan, and expanding a team. We also touch on the educational system, the modern ways of learning, and creating your own path.
So, what was our conclusion? You’ll have to listen to find out!

There is NOTHING cheesy about being a woman in business!
I had the privilege of interviewing Courtney Bowman. If you are from the RDU area, you might be familiar with her cheeseboard company Raleigh Cheesy.

Courtney expanded her business like a true pro, and this is not an episode that you want to miss! She is truly a creative, successful woman.

What are balance and self-care, anyway? Well, this week, my friend Alicia Hix and I talk about how to maintain a work-life-balance. We dive into how to honor your time, planning/scheduling (and how much is too much planning), and that sometimes we need to delegate tasks and hire someone to help us. If you’ve ever wondered how to use your time to benefit you more, then this episode is for you! Your time is valuable, but so are your rest, joy, hobbies, and rejuvenation.

Join our host, Laura Magruder, as she introduces Fringe & Flourish.
Our mission is to bring those who make up the fringe, and anyone who chose a different career path, a sense of community and understanding. Not only that, but to showcase insight into the behind-the-scenes work and challenges to those who hold traditional job titles.
We believe that those making up the fringe are the ones holding our culture together.
Imagine a world without a bartender giving you a drink after a hard day.
How would our self-image be without hairstylists and barbers?
What entertainment would we have without musicians and artists?
We utilize these service providers everyday, yet we still hear an essence of “get a real job.”
I challenge you all to think of a world without us.
This is to create a space of learning, community, love, and understanding.
This is to validate those who sometimes feel lost trying to forge their way to success
