We’re back with Part 2 of the live podcast we recorded at our recent Elevate retreat. We opened the floor for questions for a true “ask anything” space, and in this live Q&A, I coach through real, messy, in-the-moment CEO situations: how to handle difficult clients without spiraling, how to stay anchored when people judge your ambition, and how to build a bigger life without needing anyone’s permission. We also go deep on burnout and energy, what to do when your business needs you to lead but your body is tapped out, how I would market from scratch without Instagram or email, and the exact mindset shift that helped me stop being afraid of selling. If you’ve ever felt lonely in your ambition, triggered by other people’s behavior, or torn between playing it safe and going all in, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
