Woman of Influence Why Slowing Down Can Actually Move You Forward Faster
In this special flip episode, I join my friend Danielle Amos for a grounded, honest conversation about growth, leadership, and what it really looks like to build a business that supports your life—not consumes it. We talk about redefining success beyond hustle, releasing the pressure to constantly do more, and creating sustainable rhythms that honor both ambition and wellbeing.
I share how my own definition of success has evolved over the years, why capacity matters more than speed, and how clarity, boundaries, and intentional choices create long-term impact. Danielle and I explore the mindset shifts required to scale without burnout, lead with integrity, and trust that slowing down can actually move you forward faster.
This episode is for the woman who wants to grow with intention, lead with peace, and build something meaningful that lasts—without sacrificing herself in the process.

QUOTABLES:
“ You can see the things that other people can't see, but you have to make sure that they're ready to see it and hear it. Because if you give it to 'em and they're not ready for it, it can actually be very triggering and it can create the opposite effect.” - Julie Solomon
“ You're not bad or wrong. You're hiding it because it is the way that you have learned to protect yourself. So let yourself off the hook with that. And now is the time that you can start. 'Cause now you're aware. It's like you know that you're hiding this and it's not supporting your highest self, your highest vision, your highest dreams. So now you have to start doing something about it.” - Julie Solomon
