What if the systems you're missing aren't just in your business, but in the way you see yourself?

In this episode of Oracle On Purpose, I sit down with Olenka Cullinan, fractional COO, award-winning business strategist, and founder of iStartFirst, for a conversation that goes far beyond operations. Olenka built her first company as a single mother with a five-year-old, nearly ran it into the ground by refusing to ask for help, and came out the other side with a framework that has transformed how women founders scale, with strategy, spaciousness, and soul.

We talk about the moment you have to stop being the operator and start functioning as the true CEO of your business, why women are the "suckiest at celebrations" (her words, and she is right), and the massive disconnect that happens at the million-dollar mark when your business has arrived but your identity hasn't caught up yet. Olenka also shares her powerful reframe: I would die for my kids. But would you live for them?

If you're a founder who's been grinding and giving everything to your business while putting yourself last, this conversation on the Oracle On Purpose podcast about You Are Meant to Blossom With Your Business is exactly what you need to hear today.
