It’s no secret that running a business can be scary. You grow a business, put yourself out there, and depend on other people. It can be overwhelming at times and feel impossible to run your business without fear.

Now, I don’t like the term fearless. In fact, I don’t think that we can be fearless. It’s a very real emotion and there is no denying that. However, running our business out of fear can seriously derail us. It can stop us from running our business in alignment with our core mission, vision, and values.

I’ve seen my share of struggles with my businesses in the last couple of years. I know how easy it is to let fear drive your decisions in your business and I’ve had to take a step back and reevaluate.

As business owners, it’s our responsibility to set the mission, vision, and values of our organization and hold people accountable, and you can’t do that from a place of fear. Your quality and standards will suffer and you’ll compromise the integrity of your business.

Tune in to learn more about how to let go of that fear and start bravely leading your business!

Let’s meet more of the inspiring Leading Lady Ambassadors! Each of these women fills the expert role in one or more areas of the Strategic Wheel.

I developed the Strategic Wheel to help us see ourselves as a whole person when it comes to caring for not just our businesses but our health, relationships, and everything in between!

Today, I’m talking with Heidi Schmidt, Jen Howat, Tara De Leon, and Gala McCray.

In this episode, we’re talking about the resources available within the Leading Lady Ambassador Program and how these incredible women have established themselves as experts in their niche.

These women have helped me in so many aspects of my life, and I know they can do the same for you, so be sure to tune in!

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why Heidi focuses more on quality in all things social media instead of gaining a mass following

• Jen’s mission to help business owners increase their visibility and reach through Kajabi

• Tara’s controversial approach to personal training in an industry hyper-focused on weight loss

• How Gala’s expertise extends beyond just bookkeeping to help women feel confident in their finances

Have you ever felt like you're drowning in the demands of running a business while trying to balance everything else in life? In this episode, I’m sharing something I’ve been working on for the past year—something I wish I had when I was starting my own business. Alongside the amazing Jen Howat, we’ve created the Leading Lady Business Hub—a membership space designed to provide female entrepreneurs with the support, strategy, and community they need to succeed at every stage of their journey.

I open up about my own struggles as a young business owner and mom, the challenges I faced navigating entrepreneurship alone, and why so many women feel isolated in their business-building journey. But here’s the thing—thriving in business isn’t just about having the right strategies; it’s about feeling supported in all areas of life. Tune in to hear how the Leading Lady Business Hub can be the game-changer you need, offering tools, insights, and a space where you don’t have to choose between success and sanity.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The surprising gap in resources for female entrepreneurs that inspired this new hub

• Why business strategy alone isn’t enough to thrive

• The hidden challenges of balancing motherhood and business ownership

• Lessons learned from years of trial, error, and burnout

• How a lack of the right support system can sabotage even the best business plans

• The power of community and mentorship in scaling a business

• What to expect inside the Leading Lady Business Hub and how it can transform your journey
