What actually changes when you stop building your business in isolation—and step into a room full of women who are building bold, mission-driven businesses too?

In this episode, I’m sharing the most important lessons I brought home from my first in-person mastermind, hosted by the amazing Amy McLaren. What I thought would be a few days of high-level strategy turned into one of the most clarifying, grounding, and transformational experiences I’ve had in business.

Over three days, I had the chance to get real feedback, witness powerful leadership in action, and reflect deeply on how I want to build, lead, and support the women in my own programs—especially inside of my own mastermind, Legacy.

But the biggest shift? It wasn’t a tactic. It was the way these women work. How they show up. How they invest their time. And how they treat their business like the mission it is.

We’re talking about:

  • The mistake most entrepreneurs make when hiring help—and how it’s keeping them stuck
  • Why your messaging is your business (and how to go deeper with it)
  • What two totally different Instagram strategies taught me about content that actually connects
  • Why getting offline is the most underrated growth strategy no one’s talking about
  • The overlooked key to real transformation: giving your clients time to practice, not just consume
  • How high-performing women actually run their businesses (and why we need to stop glorifying ease over effort)

Whether you’ve been craving more alignment in your business, wondering what it really looks like to lead with purpose, or you're just ready to stop doing this alone—this episode will remind you that success is built in community, not in a vacuum.

Hit play and hear what shifted for me—and how you can bring these same game-changing insights into your next season of business.
