If you want to step fully into your power as CEO, you must lead, not just keep the wheels turning in your business. This is where things really start to shift and where you start to realize how powerful your influence can be as a business owner.

In part three of our four-part miniseries on She Thinks Big, we’ll unpack this role and delve into how to move beyond micromanagement and into true leadership. You’ll discover how embracing being a leader empowers your team, clarifies your vision, and builds a thriving business beyond your direct involvement.

You’ve gone from doing everything yourself to hiring a team to help you in your small business. Yet, you still feel overwhelmed and wonder why.

In part two of this four-part miniseries on She Thinks Big, you’ll learn what it really means to be a manager. I’ll discuss why you might be stuck running the day-to-day mechanics and how letting someone else own that role is essential if you want to lead and maintain your sanity.

8:20 - Why CEOs get stuck in management and struggle with the role

Are you consuming podcast after podcast, waiting for the “aha” moment that finally gets you into gear—but still stuck in place?

Tiffany Berland was, too. Until one summer when she decided enough was enough.

Despite juggling a chaotic home life, running an interior design business, and raising three kids, Tiffany took a chance on herself. She signed up for the Design Your Ideal Summer workshop… and never looked back. That single step helped her shift from just surviving each day to intentionally designing a life and business that actually supported her.

In this episode of She Thinks Big, Tiffany opens up about her journey from information overload to taking real, aligned action. She shares the mindset shifts, support, and tools that helped her navigate a turbulent season in life and business, and how she finally started creating what she truly wanted.

Andrea and Tiffany unpack what it really looks like to take meaningful action (even during hard seasons), the tools that helped her stay focused, and the one game-changing question Tiffany still asks herself daily.

2:33 – How Tiffany and Andrea connected (and the summer that changed everything)

5:45 – The realization that shifted Tiffany from passive listener to action-taker

10:48 – What taking the first step actually looked like in a chaotic season

13:59 – Why hiring a coach outside her industry made the biggest impact

19:59 – The tools that helped Tiffany clarify her vision and discover her big dream

29:21 – Why she stayed stuck in “gathering mode” and what finally moved her out

33:19 – What surprised her about group coaching (and why she almost said no)

36:22 – One action you can take today to move from stuck to forward
