What if you could rewrite the rules of power, leadership, and legacy—on your terms?

In this special 200th episode, we’re not just celebrating a milestone.—we’re calling for a movement.

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about business. It’s the ultimate feminist power move. It’s your path to autonomy, freedom, and creating a legacy that actually matters. It’s also one heck of a personal development journey. Because nothing will test your mindset (or your patience) quite like stepping into your own power.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in perfectionism, second-guessing your pricing, or wondering if you’re really cut out for this… congratulations, you’re human. And you’re exactly where you need to be.

In this episode, Deb breaks down the real mindset traps that keep so many brilliant women playing small—plus how to finally own your worth, leverage your visibility like currency, and price your offers based on the transformational value you provide.

We’re also talking about the systems, processes, and, yes, even AI tools that will help you scale without burning out. Building a business shouldn’t feel like a corporate hustle culture in disguise.

This isn’t just about making money. It’s about rewriting the rules, reclaiming your power, and changing the game—one fearless, purpose-driven step at a time.

So, are you ready to join the movement and take your business (and your life) to the next level?

Hit play. Let’s do this. 🚀
