The Kiki Kirby Podcast

In today's fast-paced world, where technology and creativity intertwine, heart-centered approaches to business and personal growth are more important than ever.

The Kiki Kirby Podcast is your go-to space for inspiration, encouraging listeners to love, grow, and take action in all areas of life. Now in its third series, the podcast explores the intersection of life, work, and careers, diving deep into the motivations behind what we do. Host Kiki Kirby welcomes guests who embody heart-centered living, sharing their stories to spark transformation in others.

In a recent episode, Kiki introduces Laura, a remarkable guest whose journey will resonate with those striving to balance multiple roles while maintaining well-being and productivity.

Laura’s story is one of resilience and adaptability. As a mother, wife, founder, and stepmother, she juggles numerous responsibilities while maintaining an extraordinary level of organisation. But her journey isn’t just about personal success, it's about empowering others through technology. Laura is the creator of Proper Plan, a productivity platform designed to help people achieve more by combining effective systems, technology, and a mindset for success.

Her path hasn’t been without challenges. Laura shares how becoming a stepmother during a hectic phase of her life taught her the importance of organisation and heart-centered leadership. From her early days as a corporate creative director to her transition into entrepreneurship, Laura's career pivot was fueled by a desire to find her true purpose. Along the way, she explored web design, digital marketing, and coaching, discovering a passion for helping others overcome overwhelm and burnout.

It was during her time as a marketing coach that Laura identified a major issue: people were struggling with productivity, leading to low course completion rates. Determined to make a difference, she set out to create Proper Plan, a platform aimed at solving these challenges head-on.

Laura’s journey took a bold turn in 2020 when she put her idea on hold. However, a burnout holiday in 2023 reignited her vision. During a retreat in Jamaica, she wrote her business plan, learned how to secure investment, and closed her existing business to focus solely on Proper Plan. In a leap of faith, Laura secured funding in just seven days, proving the power of determination and clarity of purpose.

Today, Proper Plan shares they have over 500 users, with a goal to reach 150,000 in the next five to six years. Laura’s story is a powerful testament to the impact of taking calculated risks, staying true to your passion, and embracing all facets of your identity.

This episode of the Kiki Kirby Podcast is a must-listen for anyone looking to navigate their own path with purpose, passion, and heart. Tune in to be inspired by Laura’s journey and her vision for making goal achievement accessible to all.
