What if everything that made you a threat in corporate is exactly what makes you unstoppable in business?

In this unfiltered, power-packed live recording from the Speak Your Way to Cash® Tour, I break down the exact mindset shifts and cash infusion strategies that helped me grow my company from 10 people in a WeWork to the multi-million-dollar Inc. 5000 powerhouse it is today. 

This episode is not theory—it’s truth. It's for the woman who’s already doing “all the things,” but knows deep down she’s called to do more, earn more, and serve at a higher level.

▪️ Discover the Income-Impact Continuum™—and why you're not making the impact you want because you’re not making the income you need
▪️ Learn why lowering your prices does NOT increase sales, and how to reposition your offer for high-value buyers
▪️ Find out how your authenticity isn’t a liability—it’s your conversion weapon 
▪️ Hear my raw, real story about going from using WeWork rooms to signing with top agents and fielding six-figure publishing deals
▪️ Get the mindset makeover you didn’t know you needed—but won’t move without This is the episode every purpose-driven woman entrepreneur needs in her war chest. Especially if you're tired of being told to “follow your passion” with no mention of “secure your paper.”

Y'all, the mission is bigger than your feelings—and this episode will show you why. Whether you’re in your first year or scaling to eight figures, what I share here will challenge how you lead, hire, delegate, and sell.

Keep your energy high and your excuses low—because your income will never outgrow your beliefs. 

🎧 Listen all the way through and comment with your biggest breakthrough moment. Then share this with a sister who needs to hear it.
