The Women Who Built the Industry Part 2: On Wealth, Evolution & Telling the Full Story

Part 2 of the Woman of Influence Table Talk is here, and the conversation only gets deeper. I'm back at the table with Amy Porterfield, Stacy Tuschl, Leanne Lopez Mosley, Adley Kinsman, and Ashley Brock for a raw, unfiltered look at what it actually takes to build sustainable wealth and lead with integrity in 2026. We unpack the difference between a true pivot and an earned evolution, why every billionaire is chasing boring money, and how the entrepreneurs who win are the ones who stay the course, fall in love with the same offer twice, and stop chasing variety in their business. We get vulnerable about the magical numbers each of us once chased—and what actually happened when we hit them. Leanne shares the loneliness of being suicidal during her first million-dollar month, Amy reveals what she sacrificed to hit $20 million, Ashley unpacks how she got over the guilt of profit, and Adley reminds us that money is just a tool for the experience you actually want. We close the table talk with each woman sharing her most audacious, illogical, slightly delusional goal for the year ahead—including a major book announcement from yours truly. If you're ready to make decisions that don't make sense to anyone else but you, this episode is your green light. Liked this episode?

In a first-ever Woman of Influence Table Talk, I gather five powerhouse women in one room for a no-holds-barred conversation about what it really takes to build, hold, and protect true influence. I'm joined by Amy Porterfield, Stacy Tuschl, Leanne Lopez Mosley, Adley Kinsman, and Ashley Brock five women who have collectively built multi-million dollar businesses, generated billions of views, scaled iconic brands, and earned their elevation by doing the work most women aren't willing to do. We open the conversation with the question every woman in business needs to sit with: when did you first realize you had cultivated real influence, and what did it cost you? This is a raw and grounding conversation about being misunderstood, raising your standard when it's the most inconvenient, the people-pleasing patterns that quietly cap your influence, and why you cannot have any form of real influence and still chase universal approval. We talk about Amy's decision to retire a $60 million program and the public backlash that followed, Stacy's framework of "$100 million CEO" thinking, Adley's concept of Cringe Mountain, Leanne's evolution into Rich Queen and Soft Girl Millions, and Ashley's identity-shifting realization that she was a thought repeater, not a thought leader. If you've ever felt the tension between being liked and being free, this episode is your invitation to choose the latter and stay tuned for Part 2. Liked this episode?

In this episode, I’m talking about a type of burnout that so many high-achieving women experience but rarely recognize the quiet burnout that comes from outgrowing the identity your business is still operating from. I share why burnout isn’t always caused by overworking or doing too much, but often by continuing to create, market, and lead from a version of yourself that no longer exists. We dive into what I call “identity lag,” the disconnect that happens when your business, messaging, offers, and audience haven’t caught up to the woman you’ve become, and why that misalignment can make even successful businesses start to feel heavy, dull, or uninspiring. I also walk you through the three identity stages I teach my clients former self, working self, and highest self and how understanding these stages can completely change the way you approach your messaging, leadership, and growth. This conversation is about evolving beyond survival-mode marketing and learning how to build a business that actually reflects your current level of identity, standards, and embodiment. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your content, uninspired by your messaging, or like your business no longer feels like a true expression of who you are, this episode will help you understand why and what needs to shift next.

In this episode, I’m giving you a private debrief from one of my recent live trainings, The Messaging Reset, where I break down one of the biggest reasons so many entrepreneurs feel stuck in their business growth: they’re still messaging to an outdated version of their audience. I share why “serve your former self” may work in the early stages of business, but eventually becomes the very thing that keeps you attracting people who consume your content without ever truly buying. We dive into the difference between former-self buyers, working-self buyers, and highest-self buyers—and why the quality of your messaging directly impacts the caliber of clients you call in. I also unpack how your message is so much deeper than content strategy. Your messaging is your leadership, your positioning, your standards, and the identity behind the way you communicate. This episode will help you understand why clarity and embodiment matter more than constantly creating more content, and how to shift your messaging so it actually reflects the level of woman you are now. If you’ve been feeling like your business is no longer matching your growth, this conversation will help you refine your message in a way that creates stronger alignment, deeper trust, and more powerful conversions.

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful realization that surfaced for me in my 40s: your standards shape everything in your life. From your business to your relationships, the energy you tolerate will always reflect what you believe you’re available for. I open up about the deeper shifts I’ve been experiencing over the last year—especially around what I’m no longer willing to carry, entertain, or overextend myself for—and how raising your standards often requires radical honesty with yourself first. I also dive into what happens when you begin choosing alignment over obligation and stop holding onto dynamics that no longer support the woman you’re becoming. This conversation is about self-respect, identity, boundaries, and the courage it takes to let things either rise to meet you or fall away completely. If you’ve been feeling the tension between who you’ve been and who you’re evolving into, this episode will help you trust the changes you know you need to make. Liked this episode?

In this episode, I’m unpacking a frustrating reality that so many entrepreneurs are experiencing right now: your content is performing, people are engaging, your audience is growing… but sales still feel harder than they should. I break down why visibility alone is no longer enough and how many business owners are unknowingly creating a disconnect between the content they’re putting out and the actual buying decisions their audience needs to make. We dive into the difference between attention and conversion, and why great content doesn’t automatically equal a sustainable business. I also share what’s really missing when your sales feel inconsistent despite all the effort you’re putting in online. This episode will help you identify where your messaging may be leaking trust, clarity, or authority—and how to shift your strategy so your content actually supports revenue growth instead of just engagement. If you’ve been feeling exhausted from constantly showing up online without seeing the financial results match the effort, this conversation will give you a much more grounded and effective way to approach your content and sales moving forward.

In this episode, I sit down with one of my oldest and dearest friends, Sheeva Stephens, functional medicine and brain health specialist, for a deeply personal and empowering conversation about what it really takes to heal your body from the inside out. Sheeva shares her raw and vulnerable journey of being put on Adderall at 12 years old, navigating years of debilitating side effects, and ultimately moving across the country to wean herself off three medications—a process that became the catalyst for the life-changing work she now does with women all over the world. We dig into why so many high-achieving women are walking around chronically inflamed, dismissed by doctors, and stuck in bodies that no longer feel like home.  Sheeva breaks down the four pillars of her healing methodology, the most common symptoms women in their 40s are facing today (bloating, brain fog, anxiety, sleep disturbances, hair loss), and why hormones often aren't the real problem. We also get into peptides, GLP-1s, supplements, electrolytes, and the foundational habits every woman should be doing right now to reduce inflammation and reclaim her energy.  If you've been feeling "off" and can't figure out why—or you've been told by doctors that this is just how it is—this episode is your sign to listen to your body and start asking better questions.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Allison Trowbridge, founder and CEO of Copper Books, for a deeply honest and expansive conversation about influence, authorship, and what it truly takes to bring a book into the world.  Allie shares the difference between power and influence—and how leading from a place of magnetism, authenticity, and soft power creates lasting impact in a way that grinding never can.  We explore her journey from working in the anti-trafficking space to reimagining the publishing industry, and why books remain one of the most powerful tools for shifting culture, sparking movements, and building authority. We also get into the tactical side of becoming an author: the difference between writers and authors, how to know if traditional, hybrid, or self-publishing is right for you, why your title and cover matter more than you think, and the marketing strategies that actually move books in 2026.  If you've been carrying a book idea on your heart—whether for one year or ten—this conversation is your invitation to listen to that stirring, trust the timing, and step into the kind of influence only authorship can create.

You should be able to explain something no matter how complex it is. If you can't explain it to a child or a young person, you actually don't understand it yourself.” - Allie Trowbridge “ Why it's so important on getting clear on who your ideal reader is, is you wanna make sure that you're getting in front of the places where your ideal reader is. For example, if I'm gonna write a book and have to market the book, I'm gonna go on podcasts because I know that is where my reader is. If I was writing a book for my mom, I would not be going on podcasts. She doesn't listen to podcasts.

In this episode, I’m diving into a powerful conversation around generational growth and what it really looks like to build wealth, stability, and opportunity beyond just your current season. We explore how cash flow isn’t just about what you’re making right now—it’s about how you’re thinking, planning, and leading in a way that supports long-term impact. I share insights on shifting from short-term wins to sustainable growth, and how your relationship with money directly influences what you’re able to create and pass on. I also walk through what it means to approach your business and finances with a bigger vision—one that moves beyond survival or even success, and into true legacy-building.

I’m diving into what really changes when your message finally sounds like you. Not the polished, performative version—but the honest, fully expressed version that actually reflects who you are now. I share why so many women feel disconnected from their own content, even when it’s “working,” and how that disconnect impacts everything from engagement to sales to overall fulfillment in your business. I also walk you through what happens when you close that gap—when your messaging becomes clear, embodied, and aligned with your current identity. This is where content starts to feel easier, your audience resonates on a deeper level, and selling becomes a natural extension of your voice rather than something you have to force. If you’ve been craving more authenticity, clarity, and connection in how you show up, this episode will help you understand what’s been missing—and how to step into a message that truly feels like yours.

But  to  something  that  just  feels  true.” - Julie Solomon “ it's not just the number on a page, it's the quality of it. Revenue that comes from convincing  buyers requires a lot of you. It requires your constant presence, your constant output, your constant effort to keep the nurturing warm, to keep the sales calls converting, to keep the clients quote unquote happy. It is revenue that literally runs on you. But revenue that comes from Right Fit Buyers? It just requires a much different relationship with your business. Because these buyers, they refer people like themselves to you and they don't drain your energy, they actually add to it.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: [JOIN THE WEALTH EXPANSION EXPERIENCE] This program helps you refine your voice, elevate your messaging, and express your ideas in a way that actually connects and converts.
