What happens when you stop chasing success the traditional way—and start creating a business that actually feels good? In this candid episode, I sit down with best-selling author and money mindset mentor Denise Duffield-Thomas to talk about the beliefs that keep women under-earning and overworking—and how to shift into a more easeful, sustainable version of success.

 

We kick off by exploring the most common money blocks holding women back, and then take a deep dive into what it really looks like to create a business around your natural strengths. Denise opens up about how she’s restructured her offerings, simplified her schedule, and stayed grounded in her identity as a “chill introvert millionaire”—all while serving thousands of women around the world.

 

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE

• The #1 money belief that keeps women playing small

• Why hustle isn’t a requirement for building wealth

• The turning point that led Denise to leave her wedding business and step into coaching

• How to restructure your business around your energy, not someone else’s blueprint

• The identity shift that often comes with success—and how to navigate it with grace

• What Denise and I both have in common with running highly successful businesses

 

Whether you're in a season of growth, reinvention, or simply craving more ease in your day-to-day life, this episode will inspire you to question outdated rules and trust that success doesn't have to be so hard. Denise’s perspective is refreshing, practical, and wildly permission-giving.

 

If you've ever felt like you're doing too much, or like you have to sacrifice your lifestyle for your goals—this is your invitation to do things differently.
