Are you feeling stuck in your business… but can't quite figure out why? You’re grinding, showing up, building, creating—but underneath it all, something feels off. In this powerful episode of Unbreakable Mompreneurs, host Charisse Walker sits down with healing and leadership coach Denise G. Lee to uncover the hidden truth behind why so many ambitious women burn out, stall in their growth, or feel disconnected from their work: unresolved trauma.

This isn’t just about your to-do list or marketing plan—it’s about what’s really driving your decisions, your burnout, and your connection to your audience.

Denise breaks down the difference between Big T and Little t trauma and explains how both can sneak into your business. From childhood wounds to cultural conditioning, from burnout at the peak of success to constant self-doubt, she shares why healing isn’t just a personal journey—it’s a business strategy.

You’ll hear us discuss:

• The myth of needing to “choose one thing” as a mompreneur

• Why emotional authenticity is your greatest business advantage

• How trauma affects visibility, confidence, and client relationships

• The science behind your business behaviors (including Transactional Analysis!)

• What burnout really looks like for high achievers

• Why controlling the chaos isn’t the goal—embracing it is

This episode will leave you thinking differently about what’s holding you back—and how much power you actually have. Denise shares how she went from sex addiction and alcoholism to becoming a transformational coach helping others step into leadership by first stepping into healing.

We also dive into practical tips for managing fear during uncertain times (hello, economy and global conflict), how to attract clients without losing your authenticity, and how to thrive in your own energetic lane—whether you love long-form writing or viral reels aren’t your jam.

And for all the new moms out there: Denise offers one of the most beautiful, grounded pieces of advice you’ll hear—reminding us all to “enjoy the beautiful mess.”

If you’re a mom, entrepreneur, or woman who’s ready to lead from a place of wholeness instead of hustle, this episode is your invitation.
