In this powerful episode of Iconic Leadership with Karissa Adkins, Karissa sits down with Larissa Reid, wealth strategist, accountant, and the unapologetic force behind In The Black Business Services.

Larissa is a walking comeback story.

A single mother of five who built her firm from scratch during one of the most challenging seasons of her life, Larissa didn’t inherit wealth, stability, or financial literacy—she built it. What began as survival became purpose, and purpose became a nationally recognized financial firm serving entrepreneurs and nonprofits across the country.

In this episode, Larissa shares the rarely spoken truth behind financial confidence: it isn’t about numbers alone—it’s about identity, safety, and self-trust.

Together, Karissa and Larissa explore:

Larissa opens up about her journey—from childhood survival and near-death experiences, to building a firm rooted in integrity, faith, and service. She explains how she turns overwhelmed entrepreneurs into confident CEOs who understand their numbers, trust themselves, and build real, sustainable wealth.

This conversation is a masterclass in quiet power, the kind that doesn’t need to prove itself, panic, or perform. It’s leadership grounded in clarity, courage, and self-responsibility.

Larissa is also a featured author in Alpha Queen Rising: Legacy Book Project – Volume I and a keynote speaker, bringing her voice, wisdom, and lived authority to a global movement of women rising into legacy leadership.

If you’re a woman in business who knows it’s time to stop avoiding your numbers—and start owning your power—this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

Because iconic leaders don’t come from perfect conditions.
They rise anyway.

In this

powerful episode of Iconic Leadership with Karissa Adkins, Karissa sits down

with Samantha Rambo, a featured author in Alpha Queen Rising: Legacy Book

Project – Volume I and a keynote speaker for RISE 2026: Where Purpose Meets

Power.

Samantha’s

story is not one of overnight success, it’s a story of identity, resilience,

and choosing yourself when life gives you no safety net.

A single

mother who entered healthcare out of necessity, Samantha became a CNA simply

because it was the only door open when childcare costs and survival demanded

action. What she found instead was purpose—standing beside patients in their

most vulnerable moments, witnessing both the power and the failures of a system

built to respond to crisis instead of prevent it.

In this

episode, Samantha shares how heartbreak became the catalyst for her rise—from

financial scarcity and personal struggle to building a six-figure

mission-driven business rooted in education, empowerment, and prevention. Her

journey led her to become a Family Nurse Practitioner, determined to ensure no

one ever feels powerless, uninformed, or alone in their health or their life.

Together,

Karissa and Samantha unpack:

What it really means to

choose yourself when fear, scarcity, and uncertainty are loud

How identity—not

confidence—is the foundation of leadership and success

Why self-worth is a

strategic advantage, not a mindset cliché

The moment Samantha

decided she would never accept “this is just how it is” again

How purpose-driven

leadership creates impact far beyond income

This

conversation bridges leadership, embodiment, and legacy. It’s about rising when

there is no roadmap—and becoming the woman others rise because of.

If you

are navigating a season of reinvention, leadership expansion, or purpose-driven

growth, this episode will remind you:

You don’t rise because the conditions are perfect. You rise because you decide.

 

About the Guest: Samantha Rambo, FNP-C

Samantha

Rambo is a Family Nurse Practitioner, founder of Wellness For Any Body,

and a passionate advocate for accessible, evidence-based health education.

Rooted in lived experience and deep compassion, Samantha transforms heartbreak

into healing—empowering people to reclaim their health, confidence, and future.

Her

mission is simple but powerful: no one should face their health—or their

dreams—alone.

As we step into 2026, most women entrepreneurs and CEOs are setting goals,

but very few are setting them from identity, self-leadership, and alignment.

In this episode of Big Money Sales Moves, Karissa

Adkins breaks down the A/B/C Goal System, an

identity-based goal setting framework designed to help women in business create

sustainable growth, consistent income, and personal expansion, without burnout

or hustle culture.

You’ll learn why traditional goal setting methods fail high-achieving women,

how survival-based goals block momentum, and why true success begins with who you

become, not just what you do.

Karissa also shares her personal C-goal story, revealing how identity

expansion led to international speaking, book creation, major events, and

documentary opportunities — without forcing outcomes.

This episode is for women ready to step into sovereign leadership, embodied

execution, and next-level CEO identity in 2026.

In

this episode of Big Money Sales Moves, Karissa unveils the exact lead

generation pathways she’s committing to in 2026, and why simplifying to fewer,

more potent channels is the smartest move for women scaling to their next

level.

You’ll

hear the four core lead-gen pathways that will anchor all growth inside the

Alpha Queen Collective next year, and how each one supports deeper authority,

cleaner leads, and more aligned clients:

Karissa

conversations outperform every other marketing strategy

energetics shape your revenue, leadership, and capacity

In this final Quantum Energetics

episode, Karissa gets raw about the one skill that changes everything — confidence.

Without it, your sales will stall. Your

marketing will fall flat. Your brand won’t grow.

But with it? Everything expands — fast.

Confidence isn’t something you’re born

with. It’s something you build.

In ths episode, Karissa breaks down the

mindset and micro-habits that create unshakable self-belief — and shares her

personal story of being judged, doubted, and underestimated… and doing it

anyway.

You’ll learn:

✨ The simple daily habits that build bulletproof confidence.

✨ How to stop letting other people’s opinions control your power.

✨ Why authenticity is your secret weapon in sales and leadership.

✨ Karissa’s signature “Fuck it, I’m doing it anyway” theory — and how to

apply it to your next bold move.

This is the confidence activation you

didn’t know you needed — the one that makes every strategy, script, and sales

call work better.
