What does it really cost to dream bigger when you’re a brown woman?
In this episode, Cindy opens up about the invisible price ambitious brown women pay — the pressure to stay humble, the guilt that comes with wanting more, and the fear of being “too much.”
From cultural expectations to family dynamics, she shares what it’s like to break generational patterns while building wealth and leadership in a world that wasn’t designed to make that easy.
You’ll hear how ambition can feel heavy when you’re taught to play small, why success sometimes comes with isolation, and how to start creating your own definition of wealth — one that includes freedom, peace, and pride.
Because being an ambitious brown woman isn’t the problem.
It’s the story we’ve been told about what ambition should look like that needs to change.
This one’s for the women who are ready to take up space — unapologetically, and on their own terms.

What happens after the pitch?
In this episode of Her Profit Era, Cindy sits down with Jaime Landry, founder of Black Harbour Distillers, as seen on Season 20 of Dragons’ Den, to talk about what it really takes to grow when the cameras stop rolling and the real work begins.
Jaime shares how she turned national exposure into long-term growth: scaling her distillery, refining operations, and proving that you don’t need a deal to build a powerful, profitable brand.
They dive into:
The experience of stepping into the Den and what it taught her about business clarity
How she used investor feedback to strengthen her model
The financial strategy shifts that helped her scale with confidence
The truth about margins, cash flow, and staying profitable in a product-based business
If you’ve ever wondered what happens beyond the pitch, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what it means to grow, lead, and build resilience in real time.

If you haven’t raised your prices this year, you’re already behind.
Inflation is rising, your costs are climbing, and staying the same doesn’t make you safe — it makes you stuck.
In this episode, Cindy breaks down the real math behind pricing, why Alex Hormozi’s 20% rule matters, and how to confidently raise your rates without fear or guilt. She shares stories of brands like Tiffany’s selling $1,500 paperclips, Louis Vuitton’s $2,700 dumbbells, and how these examples prove that people do pay premium prices when they see value.
You’ll also hear how Cindy tripled her own pricing (and what happened next), the story of a bookkeeper who lost a client but gained her power back, and the mindset shift that will help you stop undercharging and start building long-term wealth.
Because raising your prices isn’t greedy — it’s necessary.
This episode will show you how to charge more, keep more, and finally protect your profit like a CEO.

This weekend, I got a front-row seat inside the Dragons’ Den 20th Anniversary event in Calgary.
I met the Dragons, spoke with incredible founders, and left with a whole new perspective on what it means to build, pitch, and lead with purpose.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what really went down behind the scenes — the energy, the lessons, and the moments that reminded me why I do what I do.

It’s been one month since I sat down with Alex and Leila Hormozi’s Acquisition.com team for a full strategy session and it completely shifted the way I run my business.
In this episode, Cindy shares what’s happened since that day: the uncomfortable clarity that came from seeing her numbers differently, the bold pricing decisions that followed, and the mindset rewiring that came from being in a room where eight-figure founders think in systems, not feelings.
You’ll hear what changed inside her business and inside her head after that session: narrowing her offers, simplifying her focus, and finally acting like the CEO her business needed.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to work directly with the Hormozi team, this episode is your behind-the-scenes look at the lessons, realizations, and growth that can happen in just 30 days when you stop playing small and start thinking at scale.
Because sometimes one strategy session doesn’t just give you answers — it gives you a whole new standard.

In this episode of Her Profit Era, I pull back the curtain on what really happened inside Alex Hormozi’s private strategy session with his Acquisition.com team.

I used to come back from trips and feel two things:
Broke.
Behind.
The credit card bill would kill the vibe, and I’d feel guilty for stepping away from my business like everything was going to fall apart while I was gone.
But this summer was different. I went to Europe for 2 weeks and came home to $0 owing and money still sitting in my accounts.
In this episode, I’ll share:
→ The simple savings hack that helped me build a vacation fund without even noticing.
→ How I decide where my money goes (so it doesn’t “disappear” in my main account).
→ Why taking time off your business doesn’t have to mean falling behind.
→ The mindset shift that lets you rest without the guilt.
If you’ve ever avoided looking at your credit card after a trip… or felt like taking time off means you’re “lazy” or “losing momentum,” this episode is for you.
Because you deserve vacations that recharge you not ones that leave you stressed about money or scrambling to catch up.

I bought a $3,000 Louis Vuitton bag in Spain thinking it would make me feel like I’d made it.
It was my “treat” for all the hard work.
It was “cheaper” than in Canada.
I put it on my credit card, dipped into my savings… and wore it twice.
Not once did it give me the feeling I was chasing.
Meanwhile, my $35 Lululemon crossbody?
She’s been with me through errands, airport runs, messy days, and money wins.
In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind that purchase — the mindset I had when I bought it, what it taught me about money, and why success has nothing to do with the price tag.
If you’ve ever bought something to “prove” you’ve made it, this one’s for you.
