She Built Success

You may already be the go-to expert at work. The question is, do people outside your company know it?

Personal brand strategist Stephen A. Hart joins Claudia to talk about building visibility around the expertise you already have, especially when you're still working a 9-to-5.

They unpack what personal branding actually means, why it isn't simply a logo or polished profile and how working professionals can use LinkedIn and content to make their expertise more visible without pretending to be someone they're not.

You'll also hear practical ways to identify your content pillars, share your expertise in bite-sized ways, create consistently without posting every day and begin thinking about how your knowledge could eventually create opportunities beyond your job.

What does success look like when you stop defining it by someone else's standards?

In this episode, I’m digging into the reason I created She Built Success and why I wanted a space where we could talk about more than one dimension of who we are.

I’m a CEO, mom, partner, student pilot and nonprofit founder. Those parts of my life don’t exist independently of one another. And I don’t believe success does either.

So we’re talking about what it means to define success for yourself, both personally and professionally. I share why I don’t believe in balance, what I’ve learned about asking for help and why the version of success you’re pursuing today doesn’t have to be the version you pursue forever.

I also give you an exercise you can use to get clear about where you are, where you want to go and whether the life you’re building actually reflects what success means to you.

In this episode:

00:00 Welcome to She Built Success

00:32 Why I created She Built Success

01:39 The multifaceted approach to success

02:03 Building community and making bold moves

10:51 Getting clear about what success looks like

13:56 Why your definition of success should evolve

She Built Success goes beyond the highlight reel to explore the stories behind what we build. Through conversations about business, leadership and personal growth, we talk about the decisions, challenges and experiences that shape success along the way.

So here’s my question for you: What does success look like for you right now? Tell me in the comments.

What happens when the life you planned changes in an instant?

In this first episode of She Built Success, I’m sharing a deeply personal part of my story. At 28, with two young daughters, I unexpectedly lost my husband and found myself navigating grief, motherhood and a future that suddenly looked nothing like the one I had planned.

But this conversation isn’t only about loss. It’s about what happens after life changes the plan.

I’m sharing what moving forward looked like for me, why I’ve never wanted my circumstances or titles to define me and how some of the hardest moments in my life shaped the way I think about purpose, family and success today.

Because one thing I’ve learned is that our circumstances can contribute to who we become without getting to define who we are.

In this episode:

00:00 Welcome to She Built Success
