Old patterns do not show up because you are failing. They show up because you are expanding.

In this episode, I take you inside a real time moment where I almost went back to a version of myself I had already outgrown. Not because I didn’t trust my vision or know where I was going, but because growth can feel unsafe to a nervous system that's acclimated to complete and utter chaos.

We talk about survival identity versus leadership identity, why familiarity gets mistaken for safety, and why doing more is often a trauma response rather than a strategy. If you have ever felt the urge to go backwards right before things start to move forward, this episode is your reminder to stay.

In this episode we will dive into:

>> Why old patterns surface right before expansion
>> The difference between survival identity and leadership identity
>> Why your nervous system prefers predictability over progress
>> Why more clients eventually become a ceiling (not a solution)
>> How expansion asks you to earn and lead differently

>> Why ease can feel more uncomfortable than burnout

If you’ve been forcing yourself to work harder, stay consistent, or keep up, then this episode is for you!

I’m naming what most women never get language for: forcing yourself doesn’t build success, it breaks trust with YOURSELF.

This isn’t a productivity-hack or hyped up type of episode.
It’s about how forcing yourself fractures identity, drains creativity, and teaches your nervous system that success equals pressure.

I’m sharing my own lived experience; the years of forcing routines that weren’t built for my brain, performing productivity, and wondering why success still felt heavy.

Inside this episode:
>> Why rebranding often becomes self-soothing
>> How forcing kills creativity and consistency
>> Why discipline feels violent for busy, creative brains
>> What leadership feels like when it’s steady instead of urgent

And if this resonates, CEO Circle is where we practice leading without pressure, together. If you'd like to learn more, DM me "CEO" on instagram to learn more here

Not every client is your client. And that is a good thing.

In this episode, I am coming in hot with a truth you need to hear. Your worth is not up for negotiation (ever).

I share a story from one of my CEO Circle women who stood firm in her boundaries and let a misaligned client gawked at her pricing and walked out when she found out about her waitlist... Instead, my client remained calm, and released that client with confidence. THIS is real leadership., and this is what it looks like to respect yourself and EMBODY your brand, in order to support yourself AND your business.

We talk about how and why your pricing is meant to act as a boundary, and why confidence is not so easy to find for the sake of performance, but a practice that bring you PEACE. We dive into what it means to stop outsourcing your power in order to be liked, accepted, or just to get paid.

This episode is for you if you have ever second-guessed your worth after a single comment. If you have ever lowered your prices or bent your process to avoid conflict. If you are ready to stop shrinking and start standing tall in your own energy.

Tune in now and remember this: the right people are not going to need to be convinced, they will HAPPILY reach out and throw money your way just for the change to work with you.
