Get ready for the very first episode of our ICON Series… and this one is so special.

We recorded this live (in my living room!) with Liz Doherty at a moment where everything in her business is expanding in real time. Liz is a speech language pathologist turned CEO who is currently leading a massive virtual summit bringing together thousands of people across multiple disciplines to tackle the literacy crisis.

But this episode isn’t just about business growth. It’s about identity shifts, creativity, leadership, and what it really takes to become the woman who can hold the next level. We talk about the emotional side of building a business, why entrepreneurship is the ultimate path for personal development, and how Liz went from craving creativity in her career to building a company that allows her to fully express it.

PLUS, we also get into the real behind-the-scenes of growth: investing in support before you feel ready, navigating risk, building capacity as a CEO, and the ripple effect your decisions have on your family, your clients, and your future.

This is such an honest, powerful conversation about what it looks like to step into your next level… before you feel fully ready.
