250: How I Shifted My Priorities to Build a Business That Aligns With My Life
What began as Time to Level Up has transformed into something much bigger. It’s not just a podcast but a movement and a mirror reflecting the power of women who choose to grow on purpose. It symbolizes how your business and mindset can evolve and why “thinking big” means embracing progress over perfection. So we’re celebrating five years of bold thinking, evolution, and growth with a five-part anniversary series!
In the kickoff to this series on She Thinks Big, you’ll dive deep into one of the most foundational themes in entrepreneurship: priorities. I’ll share how saying yes to everything once felt like the key to success and what I’ve learned since then about focus, time as a mind reflection, and the freedom that comes from aligning your energy with what truly matters.
If you’ve ever struggled to find balance between growth and grace or wondered if changing your priorities means you’ve failed, this episode will reframe how you view your time, energy, and power as a CEO.
