Super Real Human

152. The Shift from Business Owner to C-Suite


Listen Later

In this episode of Super Real Human, I'm sharing a major personal and professional life update: after nearly 12 years of running my own business, I've stepped into a full-time role as Senior Vice President of Marketing.

I'm getting honest about the fears, expectations, and internal tension that came with this decision. I expected to grieve the loss of my identity as a business owner and worried that returning to an organization would feel like giving up my freedom. Instead, I'm discovering that the resilience, determination, and entrepreneurial mindset I developed are still very much a part of who I am.

This episode is about allowing yourself to evolve without treating change as failure. If you're considering a career shift, stepping away from entrepreneurship, or moving into a new season of life, I hope this conversation reminds you that your past experiences come with you, and the next chapter may feel more expansive than you expect.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The decision to move from entrepreneurship into a full-time C-suite role
  • Separating your identity from your job title or business
  • How freedom and flexibility can look different in different seasons
  • Bringing an entrepreneurial mindset back into an organization
  • Why transitions often feel scarier before you take the leap
