INSIGHT

Women-Led Businesses Outperform Yet Remain Underrepresented

  • Leila cites her own trajectory from personal trainer to $100M net worth as evidence women can scale aggressively.
ADVICE

Choose Beliefs That Serve Your Future Self

  • Don’t default to “they disrespect me because I’m a woman”; instead ask which belief serves your future self and is actionable.
  • Leila recommends reframing disrespect as skill deficits you can address rather than fixed gender bias.
INSIGHT

Value Conflict Is Inevitable And Useful
