About this listen

The Plumber’s Wife Podcast is for the women behind the business... wives, moms, and entrepreneurs running the show at home and at work. I’m Lallenia Birge. My husband and I grew our plumbing company from a borrowed drain machine to a multi-million dollar operation... all while raising lots of kids (well 5 so far and one on the way!). What we’ve learned came from real life, not business school. Here, we talk marriage, marketing, family, and business. With stories, strategies, and no sugarcoating. If you’re building a business with your spouse (or thinking about it), you’re in the right place.Lallenia Birge Economics Leadership Management & Leadership

  • Facebook Marketing for Small Family Businesses. What Actually Works
    Feb 12 2026

    Facebook marketing can feel like a lot when you’re running a small family business.

    You’re already juggling customers, kids, payroll, and real life. Then someone says you need reels, ads, trends, and to post every day or you’ll disappear.

    That’s not how we built ours.

    In this episode, I’m sharing how we used Facebook to grow our plumbing business in a steady, simple way. What I focused on. What I ignored. And what actually moved the needle for a mom and pop company.

    No complicated strategy. No marketing degree. Just showing up consistently and building trust in our community.

    If you run a business with your spouse and feel behind on marketing, this one’s for you.

    I also put together a simple FREE Facebook guide that lays out exactly what to post and how often. It’s the structure I follow so I don’t overthink it. You can download it at HERE if you want something practical to follow.

  • What I Actually Did as a Wife in Our Business (Then and Now)
    Jan 30 2026

    When people hear “working with your husband,” they often assume the wife does everything.

    That wasn’t my role.

    In this episode, I share what I actually handle in our business. Marketing, visibility, brand support, and encouragement. And just as importantly, what I didn't do at the beginning.

    I don’t answer phones anymore. I don’t run day to day operations anymore. I don’t try to be everywhere anymore. I was there once but not right away and it's ok to take it step by step.

    This episode is about going though and sharing our story and where I started.
