More Episodes

I’m so excited to share this week’s conversation with you because it’s such a good one. On today’s episode of the Business Babes Collective Podcast, I sit down with the inspiring Celi—a powerhouse entrepreneur who’s been creating and scaling businesses since she was just 11 years old (yes, 11!).

We dive into her incredible journey, starting with her very first business— Celi opens up about how creativity, problem-solving, and just going for it kick-started her entrepreneurial journey and helped her become a strategic advisor and mindset coach who now helps businesses scale to seven figures.

This conversation is packed with insights about embracing simplicity, building confidence, and leaning into community and collaboration. Celi also shares real, actionable lessons she’s learned from overcoming fear, setting boundaries, and growing her business with intentionality—even as an introvert.

Here’s what we cover:

The entrepreneurial lessons Celi learned as a child and how they still guide her today.
Why starting your business doesn’t require a logo, website, or elaborate branding (hint: it’s all about solving problems and showing up authentically).
How Celi landed a game-changing collaboration to develop a content management tool through creative thinking and pitching.
The importance of tackling discomfort to unlock new levels of growth in your business.
How community and intentional collaborations have played a key role in her success (plus, lessons from when partnerships didn’t go as planned).
The time a failed collaboration left Celi homeless, how she rebuilt her life and business, and the critical importance of clear expectations and boundaries in partnerships.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that starting small can lead to big things and that the key to growth is often stepping outside your comfort zone. Whether you’re just starting, navigating a pivot, or scaling your business, Celi’s wisdom will leave you feeling inspired to take action and show up authentically in your journey.

After you listen, I’d love to hear your takeaways!
