Not That Kind of CEO - For Women Who Want More

There’s a part of all of us that wants to feel special, and as mompreneurs, that desire often shows up in subtle ways. Maybe in the personality frameworks we explore, the labels we hope will explain our strengths, or the quiet wish to be just a little different from everyone around us.

It’s easy to brush that off as ego, but the truth is softer than that.

Wanting to feel special is usually about wanting to feel seen, valued, and understood in a world that asks a lot of us. When you’re carrying a business and a family, it’s natural to crave something that reminds you you’re more than the roles you juggle.

In this episode, we explore why that longing appears, what it reveals about your self-worth, and how to hold onto a sense of uniqueness without disconnecting from the groups you belong to.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of why this desire matters, and how embracing your “ordinary” moments can make you feel even more like yourself.

Most mompreneurs don’t struggle with money because they’re “bad with numbers.”

They struggle because money feels loaded… emotional… unfamiliar… and honestly, a little terrifying. Especially when you’re building a business in the middle of motherhood and your brain is already running a hundred open tabs.

I spent years working as a financial VA, and let me tell you something: almost no one feels naturally confident with their numbers. Not the beginners. Not the seasoned entrepreneurs. Not even the women who look like they’ve got it all together on Instagram.

So this episode is your permission slip to stop pretending you “should already know this” and actually learn the pieces that make money feel safe, simple, and doable. Because financial confidence isn’t about being perfect at math, it’s about understanding yourself, your patterns, and what your nervous system needs in order to make clear decisions.

Inside this episode, we talk about the mindset shifts, tiny habits, and identity upgrades that help you stop avoiding your finances and finally feel grounded in them. If money has ever made you anxious, avoidant, or convinced you’re the only one who “doesn’t get it,” this conversation will feel like an exhale.

I didn’t expect Taylor Swift to teach me anything about business… yet there I was, standing alone in a stadium in Lyon, watching seventy thousand women scream their lungs out, and realizing I was witnessing the purest form of feminine power and leadership.

Something shifted for me that night.

And it has everything to do with how we, as mompreneurs, build businesses in a world that constantly tells us to do it harder, faster, and entirely on our own.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the unexpected business lessons I learned at the Eras Tour, from what happens when women support other women to why collective energy is one of the most powerful forces available to us. If you’ve been feeling isolated in your business, doubting yourself, or wondering where your spark went, this one will hit home.

We talk about clarity, confidence, identity, and the inner strength that comes alive when you stop doing everything in survival mode and allow yourself to be held by something bigger than you.

If you’re craving momentum, connection, and the reminder that you’re not alone in this… press play.
