<h3>In this episode of The Bigger Braver Life Show, I explore the intersection of leadership, motherhood, and sustainable business growth with: </h3>Stefanie Julia a business coach for coaches who helps turn passion into profit by attracting clients on autopilot. With 13 years in Homeland Security Investigations and a top-rated fitness coaching program, Stefanie brings a rare blend of operational rigor and entrepreneurial heart—serving 200K+ people each month and featured by ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC.Leadership isn’t just about launches or revenue. It’s about presence. It’s about capacity. It’s about the nervous system health of the leader, especially in seasons of pregnancy, postpartum, and identity shifts. I believe leadership is personal before it’s professional. The culture you create and the results you deliver start with your inner stability. If you’re bootstrapping maternity leave, pivoting offers, or rebuilding confidence after a hard season, this conversation is your invitation to pair clarity with capacity so your strategy actually supports your life. <h3>In this episode, we discuss:</h3><ul><li>Maternity leave as a founder: mapping benefits, funding the gap, and building a practical runway as a solopreneur.</li><li>Fast cash vs. sustainable growth: how Stefanie pivoted to VIP Days for immediate revenue while setting up a long-term client attraction system.</li><li>Systems that sell while you rest: simple, repeatable structures for DMs, lead magnets, and micro-offers that keep momentum going.</li><li>Mindset + nervous system shifts: gratitude practices, vibration-raising routines, and why regulation precedes consistent sales.</li><li>Identity after baby (and business pivots): letting go of timelines, releasing the fantasy, and returning to aligned strategy.</li><li>Succession &amp; safety nets: professional wills, emergency plans, and light-touch team support during leave.</li><li>Resources that helped: The Law of Attraction (Esther Hicks) and The Magic (Rhonda Byrne) for daily gratitude structure.</li></ul> <h3>Remember:</h3><ul><li>Strategy works best when your nervous system is on board.</li><li>It’s okay to pivot in Q4 bring the structure and the belief.</li><li>Dream without self-editing.
