Show Notes:

In this episode of the Chicks Who Give A Hoot podcast, host Sara Chambers sits down with her former client, Marisa Rodriguez, to talk about what it really takes to step into the next level of your business — especially when you don't yet see yourself as "that kind of person." Together, they unpack the fear behind avoiding structure, the burnout that forces clarity, and the identity shift required to move from skilled practitioner to confident CEO. Marisa shares the turning point that pushed her to stop playing small, invest in elevated positioning, and build a brand that could attract the caliber of clients she knew she was capable of serving. The conversation is an honest look at visibility, vulnerability, and why confidence often follows action — not the other way around.

Marisa Rodriguez is the founder of Luxe Baby Custom Newborn Care, a private newborn and postpartum care company serving modern families nationwide. After years of traveling from placement to placement and working primarily through agencies, Marisa made the decision to build a platform that reflected the luxury-level clients she was already supporting. Today, she is expanding into placements, increasing national visibility through media and public speaking, and scaling her business with intention — proving that growth doesn't begin with certainty, but with the willingness to rise to the version of yourself your vision requires.
