Ep. 1 - Meet our CEO Layla Lisiewski

Author: Local Moms Network September 10, 2024 Duration: 31:55
When Layla Lisiewski became a mom, she couldn’t find the mom community she craved…so she built one. Beginning with Greenwich Moms, Layla gathered resources for families ranging from pediatricians to preschools to after-school programs. She did the work so moms wouldn’t have to, fulfilling her mission of “giving moms the gift of time.” Ten years later, Layla has brought this incredible concept to more than 145 suburbs nationwide, touching more than 4 million moms! Beyond resources, each hyper-local site is a small business that is run by a local mom, offering her a flexible, fulfilling career. Together, the nationwide sites comprise The Local Moms Network, which kicks off MomCast with this inaugural episode. Host Demetra Ganias sat down with our CEO to discuss resilience, empowering mothers, and Layla’s hopes for this latest venture from TLMN. This can’t-miss conversation includes: *Layla’s take on how Division I Lacrosse at Brown University prepared her for motherhood and entrepreneurship *keeping playfulness and curiosity alive with her kids, encouraging them not to take life too seriously *owning her ambition, supporting women and teamwork, and learning to embrace failure Find us at thelocalmomsnetwork.com Follow us on IG @thelocalmomsnetwork Send us your ideas for our next podcast!

Hosted by Demetra Ganias-a writer and mother of three who’s navigating the same daily realities-MomCast is a conversation from the trenches of modern parenting. This podcast, from the Local Moms Network, moves beyond simple tips to explore the nuanced, often unspoken layers of family life, culture, and society that shape our days. Demetra guides honest talks with both leading experts and fellow moms who get it, tackling questions about child development, personal identity, and the balancing act that rarely feels balanced. The dialogue here is less about perfect answers and more about shared understanding, offering perspectives that resonate whether you’re in the car line or stealing a quiet moment. It’s a space where the complexities of raising kids intersect with everything else, acknowledging that motherhood is as much about the world we’re preparing our children for as it is about the snack currently ground into the car seat. Tune in for a genuine, sometimes messy, but always connecting look at this defining chapter. You’ll find a sense of community in this podcast, a feeling that someone is putting words to your own experience, making the journey feel a little less solitary and a lot more seen.
