What Got You Here Is Officially Holding You Back

The version of you that started your business isn’t the same one that’ll get it to the next level. That isn’t a hallmark of failure but of growth. And it’s a realization I’ve recently had about myself and my business.

In this unexpected sixth (and final) episode of our 5th anniversary series on She Thinks Big, I’ll reflect on my entrepreneurial evolution and the identity and business shift coming for 2026. I’ll also extend an invitation to evolve alongside me in preparing for these strategic changes by encouraging you to make space, re-examine your beliefs, and upgrade your systems, teams, and money mindset.
