Through her executive coaching and consulting firm, she helps advance executive women in STEM and finance.

Today we’re talking about one of the most important skills you can develop as an entrepreneur: the ability to diagnose problems in your business.
Not to solve them, although that’s important too! But that’s actually not the hard part. The hard part is figuring out what those problems ARE that are holding you back. It’s time to think like a doctor and get good at diagnosing…because the biggest obstacles in your business are the ones you aren’t aware of.

Welcome to the Real Talk episode you didn’t know you needed!
This week we're doing something different—a heart-to-heart co-interview with my dear friend and powerhouse designer, RuthAnn Rafiq! This episode originally aired on the Rebrand with RuthAnn Podcast and RuthAnn has been kind enough to allow us to share on Blaze as well.
In this unscripted convo, we dive into our biggest challenges of the past year, from losing clients to hiring (and firing!) to building businesses that feel GOOD and are stronger than ever. Both RuthAnn and I have gone from solopreneur to team leader and we’re spilling all the details on the highs, lows, and everything in between.
You’ll get to hear two very different strategies for growth and how we tailored our businesses to fit our lifestyles: RuthAnn as an agency owner and mama of 3, and me as a coach and full-time digital nomad.
If you’re craving an honest, girlfriend-chat-style episode on the constant evolution of life as an entrepreneur, this one’s for you!
Click play to learn:
How I restructured my business after losing 100% of my recurring income
Why RuthAnn switched to an agency model to remove bottlenecks for her clients
Agency model vs. coaching and education: which is right for you?
Leaning into the energetics side of business and being relaxed and confident rather than needy and clingy (+ our fav mindset tips and podcasts)
The process we both follow when trying new things in our businesses
Practical tips to build your business around your lifestyle: a year in the life of a digital nomad + how RuthAnn maintains a thriving business as a mama to 3 kids under 5

Is social media really the be-all-end-all of marketing that people make it out to be?
I’ve noticed a trend in my business where the less time I spend on Instagram, the more money I make. So naturally, people ask: how are you doing it? Everyone says you need to be on Instagram to grow your online business and here I am saying literally the opposite, so what am I doing differently?
Today’s episode is going to answer that question. I’m pulling back on the curtain on my own business, as well as some surprising industry trends and inspiration from other social media-free online entrepreneurs.
Tune in to learn:
My journey with Instagram and how getting off the app doubled my revenue
How social media buying behaviour differs from other platforms and what that means for your conversion rate
The surprising reason why social media marketing may not be as profitable as you think
2 Questions to ask yourself to effectively replace social media with another platform

I left my job to build a business. And instead, all I did was give myself a new job…
Ask any entrepreneur why they started their business and most will say freedom. To do what they want when they want. But ask them if they *have* that freedom they dreamed of, and most will say no.
You may not report to a boss anymore, but you still work long hours and have limited vacation days. Payroll is inconsistent. Deadlines are always looming and between client work and content creation and answering email, you’re left with very little time to do the work you actually want to do. There’s very little structure, very few boundaries, and very little freedom.
Sound familiar? THAT is the problem we’re tackling in today’s episode…
Click play to learn:
The real reason you feel tired in your business all the time
The difference between a job and a business and how you may be building the former without even realizing it
How to leverage income-generating assets for more time + financial freedom
Which system to prioritize FIRST if you’re feeling overworked and overwhelmed
The missing ingredient you need to 10x your business
