This special episode of Small Business School was recorded live at the High Vibe Women event—and let me tell you, the energy in the room was electric! I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Julie Cole, co-founder of Mabel’s Labels, mom of six, bestselling author, and all-around force. She shared how a product idea born out of her own family chaos turned into a beloved brand known across North America. We dove into her story, her mindset, and the lessons she’s learned about building a business with heart (and humour).

Key topics covered:

• How Mabel’s Labels went from a basement startup to a multimillion-dollar brand
• What it really looks like to grow a business while raising six kids (and why Julie gave up mom guilt 5 kids ago!)
• Visibility, community, and building a brand people connect with—especially in today’s noisy world
• The importance of delegating, hiring help, and knowing when to get out of your own way
• Productivity hacks, mindset shifts, and prepping for an exit—even if you're not there yet

Julie’s real-talk and unapologetic approach will leave you inspired and ready to take your next step—whatever that looks like for you. Whether you’re just starting or scaling, this one’s full of gold.
