What if the next chapter of your life is not a detour, but an invitation? In this episode of the Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B. Hartwell sits down with Julie Delucca-Collins, business strategist, TEDx speaker, award-winning author, founder of Go Confidently Services, and host of the Casa de Confidence podcast.

Julie shares how being laid off during the pandemic became the doorway into entrepreneurship, podcasting, authorship, and deeper purpose.

This conversation explores confidence, courage, self-leadership, business strategy, and what it means to create impact while honoring the season of life you are in.

How vision can guide the next chapter even when the full picture is not clear.

Why confidence often comes from showing up before you feel ready.

How midlife can become a powerful season of reinvention and renewed purpose.

What it means to build a business around your gifts, mission, and lived experience.

How small, consistent self-leadership practices support bigger vision and impact.

Why women entrepreneurs need systems, support, and strategy to stop being the best-kept secret.

What is the difference between vision and goals in business?

Vision is the bigger picture of what you want your life and business to become, while goals are the smaller steps that help bring that vision into reality. A strong vision creates direction and clarity for decision-making.

What are simple self-leadership habits that help business owners avoid burnout?

Simple self-leadership habits include creating healthy routines, prioritizing rest, moving your body regularly, setting boundaries, and building intentional margin into your schedule to support long-term success.

How do you know when it is time to start a new chapter in life or business?

Often, there are signs of restlessness, misalignment, or a feeling that you are meant for more. Major transitions, setbacks, or unexpected changes can become opportunities to pursue a more aligned path.
