#602: Stop Looking for the Perfect Room. Build It.

The Simplicity Sessions

Show Notes

In this episode, I'm doing a full reflection on the sixth annual Audacious Woman Retreat I hosted in Kelowna this past June.

This isn't just a recap. It's a conversation about something I believe with every fiber of my being: the room is the most powerful business tool you will ever step into, and sometimes, you have to be brave enough to build it yourself. In this episode, I'm sharing: Why I hosted five women in my rented home for five days, and what emerged that no agenda could have planned

The difference between information and knowledge

Why the "right room" has nothing to do with celebrity coaches, luxury venues, or million-dollar masterminds

What I've learned after six years of hosting these retreats: the room doesn't actually exist until the humans arrive

The concept of "stacking evidence"

Why vulnerability creates speed in business (and why pretending you have it together is costing you years)

The lobster theory of women in business

Why confidence is contagious, and what happens when one woman asks the hard question out loud

My reflection on leadership: I'm not better than the women in the room, I'm just a little further along

A permission slip for the woman who has been waiting to feel "ready enough" to gather her people

Today you're tuning into Part Two of a three-day bootcamp I ran called Practice and Profit.
