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.In This Episode, You Will LearnHow to shift your identity from practitioner to CEO (and actually believe it).Why creativity is the missing piece in so many businesses… and how to bring it back.What it really takes to hold growth at scale (and why it’s not just strategy).The truth about risk… and why staying stuck might be the bigger one.How investing in support (childcare, team, mentorship) unlocks your next level.The unexpected ripple effect your business has on your family and future generations.Why hobbies, space, and time away are essential for building a sustainable business.Resources + LinksWant the behind the scenes playbook of building a 6-Figure per MONTH funnel?

This was supposed to be an Instagram Live that Lindsey Murray and I tried to do…that completely broke. We tried 4 times. It kept glitching…so we remained calm and decided to record this separately for you because I KNEW it was going to be good.Lindsey started breaking down what’s actually happening inside your Instagram right now…and why it can feel like:your content is goodpeople are watchingyou’re even making some sales…but it’s not consistent. There's a very specific reason for that. At one point she said something that made me stop taking notes:“Your stories are where people decide to buy… but almost no one is using them that way.”Then she walked through a simple framework she uses every day…It changes how you look at:what you sharehow often you shareand why some stories lead to sales… and others get ignoredAnd the wild part? It’s built around something you’re already doing every day…you’re just not using it strategically.Listen to this episode to get Lindsey's Stories to Sales Framework.

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.In This Episode, You Will LearnHow to create systems that protect your nervous system.A powerful reframe for criticism and side comments so you can keep expanding without shrinking back.A better starting point than “work harder” when you’re exhausted so you can scale with more energy, not more pressure.The “sandbox” approach so you can test bigger ideas without blowing up your whole business.The mindset shift every business woman must make around sales.How to step into your power when self-doubt is loud.Resources + LinksWant the behind the scenes playbook of building a 6-Figure per MONTH funnel?

This episode is a candid look at what really happened in our business over the last year -- the wins, the testing, the things that worked, and the things that didn’t work the way we expected.We’re breaking down the biggest shifts we’ve seen in the industry over the past 12 months, why so many strategies that used to work are stalling out, and what this year taught us about selling, demand, and leadership at this level.You’ll hear why we stopped treating promotions like “make or break” moments, how we think about testing without spiraling, and why building a strong backend gives you the confidence to innovate on the front end without fear.We also talk about the shame spiral so many business owners are stuck in right now -- feeling disappointed, frustrated, or behind -- and how a simple perspective shift can open the door to momentum again.Most importantly, we’re sharing how we’re approaching 2026 differently.Why demand has to be created before the offer.Why controlling your buyers no longer works.Why building a world people want to be part of is what makes sales feel easier.And how you can start shrinking your sales timelines without burning yourself out.If this year felt heavier than you expected, if sales felt harder than they should, or if you’re ready to stop relying on one strategy and start building something more sustainable -- this conversation will change how you look at your business heading into 2026.
