Business & Brunch
Business & Brunch is the podcast for women who are done playing by the rules and ready to build a business that actually fits their life — not the other way around.
Hosted by Alicia Croci — business coach, mom, and self-trust hype woman — each episode blends simple strategy, powerful mindset shifts, and the permission you’ve been craving to take up more space (and make more money doing it).
If you’re ready to ditch the hustle, trust yourself deeper, and build a freedom-based business without sacrificing your real life in the process, you're in the right place.
Grab your coffee (or a mimosa), open your notes app, and let’s brunch our way to the business and life you actually want.

Business & Brunch
From Freelancer Energy to CEO Mindset
"From Freelancer Energy to CEO Mindset" — it's time for the upgrade.
The truth is, you don't need more credentials, more experience, or someone else's stamp of approval. You need to step into the authority you already have.
In this episode of Business & Brunch, we're exploring the energy shift that changes everything — and showing you how to move from freelancer mindset into true business ownership energy. Because it's not about being perfect. It's about owning your expertise, commanding respect, and finally charging what you're worth.
What You'll Learn:
- Why waiting for validation is costing you premium clients
- The subtle ways you're undermining your own authority (and repelling ideal clients)
- How to shift from freelancer energy to CEO mindset
- What showing up as the expert actually looks like in your content and sales
- A real client story: How one energy shift led to 3 retainer bookings in one week
Action Step: This week, do a permission audit:
- Notice where you're over-explaining, apologizing, or asking for approval
- Write this on a sticky note: "I run a business. I don't need permission to take up space."
- Put it on your laptop and read it before you post, pitch, or show up
Your business doesn't need your humility. It needs your confidence — and that starts with stop asking for permission to own your space.
