Are you so caught up in the daily grind that you’ve lost sight of the bigger picture?
In this episode, we’re getting real about one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of business—your vision.
What’s keeping you from setting a vision that’s bold, expansive, and truly aligned with your purpose? This is an invitation to step back, think bigger, and lead with purpose. It’s time to focus on the what instead of getting stuck in the how. Because when your vision is clear, the path forward becomes undeniable.
Here's the truth: leadership isn’t just about execution—it’s about unwavering clarity. And that means making decisions that serve your long-term vision, even when they’re uncomfortable.

Hey, superstars!
In today’s episode, I’ll guide you through the 3 E’s you need to master to take your business to the next level.
A simple exercise you can do as you map out your calendar is looking through the lens of the 3 E’s. Too often, women fall into the trap of thinking that being more productive means doing more. We’ve been conditioned—especially in corporate settings—to believe that hard work is rewarded when we push ourselves to the limit.
But true success comes from focusing your energy on what empowers you and allows you to make a difference. As entrepreneurs, our goal is to engage in high-value activities that move the needle in our business.
Come and join me in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch: Master the 3 E’s to Grow Your Business.

Learn How to Remove the 7 Money Blind Spots So That You Can Finally Scale and Build Your Business to 7-Figures and Beyond!
Hey, superstars!
In today’s episode, I’ll share my favorite, proven strategies for getting in front of champagne clients.
If you know me, you know I’m all about proactively growing your business. When I moved to the States 12 years ago, I didn’t know anyone. I asked myself, How do I get started when nobody knows me?
I built my business from the ground up by focusing on what worked back in Europe. I aligned with my natural strengths and began tapping into speaking engagements with business owners.
Why speaking? Because it gives us instant credibility.
We don’t need to speak to large audiences; we just need the right people in the room and the courage to make offers.

Hey, superstars!
In this episode, we will unpack a juicy topic — how to confidently raise your rates and craft irresistible counter-offers to attract high-value “champagne clients” who truly appreciate your work.
Women entrepreneurs often feel a lot of fear around raising prices, especially when faced with rejection. It’s tempting to backtrack after hearing a “no,” but learning to navigate this discomfort can open doors to transformative opportunities.
Remember, every “no” clears the path for your “yeses.” The right clients, the ones who truly see your worth, are waiting for you. Make that offer!
Come and join me in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch: Raising Your Rates: How to Counter-Offer.
