She Built 9 Businesses—Then Learned the Secret Was Giving

A woman sits in a law office bathroom and realizes she hasn't eaten in three days. She weighs 98 pounds. She buys her clothes from the children's department. She is being beaten regularly by someone she calls her lover, and she doesn't know it's wrong. Years later, at 60, her hair is dyed red and she is laughing—genuinely laughing—about the woman she was and the one she became.

Laura Gisborne built nine businesses, created Limitless Women as a philanthropy-first organization, and gave away $750,000 from revenue donated by her clients—all after surviving childhood abandonment, seven years of sexual abuse, and anorexia. She now works with women entrepreneurs who feel trapped on their hamster wheels: successful-looking on Instagram but exhausted, unprofitable, and deeply isolated. In this episode of Every Day's a Train Wreck, you'll hear how someone moves from survival mode to building an actual life, and what it takes to stop performing and start admitting the truth.

Marley Majcher meets Laura Gisborne at a place of shared recognition: both have built extraordinary things not in spite of their mess, but through learning to move through it. This is a conversation about what gets built when you stop hiding, why giving heals the giver as much as the receiver, and what the women who look most together are actually carrying behind closed doors.

About the Guest: Laura Gisborne is a business builder, philanthropist, and founder of Limitless Women, an organization dedicated to supporting female entrepreneurs in building sustainable, profitable, and purpose-driven businesses. She brings two decades of hard-won wisdom to conversations about resilience, reinvention, and what it really takes to move from stuck to unstoppable.
