After 13+ years running my own business, I’ve noticed a common thread among solopreneurs—especially women building purpose-driven businesses.

We start off chasing freedom, creativity, and meaning.

But somewhere along the way… we wake up to a business that looks ā€œsuccessfulā€ on paper—but doesn’t feel good to run.

I’ve been there. So has Annie Franceschi, a fellow brand strategist and business friend of mine. That’s why we co-hosted a special Purposeful Business Roundtable: a real, unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to create a business that supports you—not just your bottom line.

If you’ve ever…

  • Felt like your self-worth was tied to your revenue
  • Burned out trying to do #allthethings
  • Wished you had more time to think, create, and just be…

…this one’s for you.

šŸŽ™ļø I uploaded the audio of the live event to my Create Your PurposeĀ® Podcast — now live wherever you get your podcasts!

In this special roundtable recording, you’ll hear:

  • ✨ Honest stories from both of our business journeys (including what we’ve outgrown)
  • ✨ How we’re each redefining success in this season of life
  • ✨ Ways we design our workweeks for freedom, fun, and deep focus
  • ✨ Why purpose and joy are not bonuses—they’re strategy

Plus, I share the exact framework I use to plan my time and reset my business priorities every quarter.
