The Sheila Botelho Show: Business Strategy and the Inner Work of Leadership
The Sheila Botelho Show is a business and leadership podcast for founders, CEOs, and women leading at the highest level of their work, who are ready to build the next decade of their business with more clarity, more profit, and more of themselves in the room.
You’ve already done the hard part. You’ve built something that works. You’ve hit the goals that looked impressive from the outside. And somewhere along the way, you started wondering what it would feel like to grow without trading pieces of yourself for the next milestone.
That’s the conversation happening on this show.
Every week, Sheila pulls up a chair for the kind of conversations you’d have with a trusted friend who’s spent decades growing businesses through wave after wave of change, reading rooms, and helping people come home to themselves no matter how fast the landscape moves.
You’ll hear about business strategy, leadership, profit, scaling, identity, creativity, and the shifting landscape of entrepreneurship in a season where everything is changing at once. Solo chats, minisodes, and conversations with founders and leaders building businesses with depth and integrity. Real talk for the woman who’s done the surface-level work and is ready for something with more substance.
So come on in. Get comfortable. This is the place to think bigger, lead steadier, and trust yourself more fully every time you press play.
New episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The Recommit: How to Reset Your Direction on the Hardest Days | EP 606
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On the crunchy days, the ones that stack up and test your resolve, one practice keeps everything moving: the recommit. Drawing on timeless wisdom from one of my early author/speaker mentors, Jim Rohn, this minisode is a short, grounding reminder of where your conviction actually lives and how to find it again when you need it most.

When Days Feel Extra Edgy
SheilaSome stretches of days just have more texture to them. You're doing the work, you're showing up, and still everything has a little extra edge. In this episode, I'm sharing the one practice I come back to every time and the Jim Rohn wisdom that's shaped how I think about purpose, direction, and what it actually means to keep moving. Stay with me through to the end for something you can implement today. Hi, welcome to the podcast. I'm Sheila Botelho and I believe true success is built from the inside out. This mini sode is designed to help you live into what lights you up this week. I want to share something that came through for me this morning on a walk. After a stretch of days that had a little extra crunch to them, you know those seasons. The ones where you're doing all the right things. And somehow everything still feels like it has an edge to it. I've had a few of those in a row
Recommitment As Daily Anchoring
Sheilalately. And what I keep coming back to when that happens is this the recommitting every single time. So when I come back to who I want to be, how I want to live, what I actually want to feel, everything changes for me because that commitment is where my conviction lives. And I want to say that again because I want you to consider this for yourself. When I come back to who I want to be, how I want to live, and how I actually want to feel, that's where my conviction lives. And conviction is what makes follow-through possible on everything. Whether I have a full calendar or a wide open afternoon.
Jim Rohn And Setting The Sail\n
SheilaJim Rohn said it in a way I've never forgotten. He said, it's not the blowing of the wind that determines your destination, it's the set of the sail. The same wind blows on us all. I had Jim's audio tapes back in the day in the 90s. I know the cadence he used when he said it. And I've carried that idea with me for years, making it my own along the way.
Rest Days Still Count\n
SheilaBecause what I've also found to be true for me is that some days I want to drop the sail and crawl into the hull of the ship for a rest. And then some days I want to pull the whole sailboat up onto the beach and just lay out in the sun. And sometimes I want company, and other times I want to be all alone on that boat. And all of that is allowed. The sailboat is still there through all of it. My purpose, my meaning, what I'm building. It's mine to sail. And so I sail it. Some days with the full wind in the canvas, some days on a gentler current. And some days we're totally at rest, just pulled up onto the beach. But I sail it regularly. That's the recommitment. Coming back to the boat every morning, even on the crunchy ones and choosing to sail.
Five Minutes To Choose A Feeling\n
SheilaSo I invite you to take five minutes today and write down how you want to feel by the end of this week. Then let that be the thing you recommit to before you open anything else.
