In this solo episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph breaks down what it takes to move through the "messy middle" of business, including those plateaus around $30K, $60K, and even $80K months. She unpacks the mindset shifts, strategic pivots, and identity upgrades needed to break through each level, while sharing a behind-the-scenes look at current changes inside her company—including team restructuring and choosing to pause over the constant push. You'll hear why most business owners stay stuck, how to lead through duality, and what it takes to build your own little empire. Steph also teases an exclusive offer (for those ready to go all-in) and previews her upcoming CEO Report packed with practical insights on scaling with intention.
