Embracing Growth and Transformation in Entrepreneurship

In this special Summer Series Flip episode, I’m so excited to share a conversation I had on the Brilliant Balance podcast with the amazing Cherylanne Skolnicki. We talk all about the journey of becoming—how I moved from chasing external success to aligning with the woman I’m meant to be, and how that shift has transformed the way I live, lead, and support others.

I open up about what it means to create clarity (instead of waiting for it), rewrite the stories that keep us stuck, and take radical responsibility for the version of ourselves we’re stepping into. We also dive into the evolution of my book Get What You Want, the truth about personal branding, and why I believe you shouldn’t build your business based on who you used to be—but from the place of who you’re becoming.

This conversation is raw, honest, and such a beautiful reminder that you don’t need to wait to become her—you can be her now.

QUOTABLES:

“ You'll see this person doing this and you're like, oh, maybe that's, that's how I need to sound, or how I need to think, or how I need to lead, or how I need a parent without really truly tapping into yourself first. And the more that you can really own who you are. You say what you mean and mean what you say, and you don't say it mean, and you just own that with every bit of you. That is actually the ripple effect in the mirror that magnates people to you.” - Julie Solomon 

“ What I really get hooked on is like, okay, what are you making up and telling yourself that, that person has? Because that's going to allow you to drop more into what it is that you want that's already inside you. If it wasn't inside you, you wouldn't see it in other people, good or bad, right? You can also do this with what you're wanting to shed, right? Because it's all a reflection in a mirror of either what you no longer want or what you're wanting to lean more into.”- Julie Solomon
