About this episode
If you’ve ever felt that quiet tug for “something more,” this episode is for you.I’m sharing the story behind my movement — the real one. The childhood threads, the detours, the pivots, the heartbreaks, and the unexpected joys that shaped the work I do today with women who are ready to serve with heart instead of hustle.From growing up on an Iowa farm with older parents and a big imagination… to climbing the corporate ladder, navigating burnout, finding my footing in direct sales, and rebuilding again after a sudden company closure — every chapter pointed me toward one thing: helping women lead with joy, purpose, and authentic connection.Inside this episode, I talk about:The early influences that shaped my love for humor and connectionThe corporate moment that sparked my first major pivotHow Traveling Vineyard became a catalyst for community and confidenceWhy hustle culture stopped aligning with my valuesThe unexpected gift inside a sudden career endingThe birth of the Sipper Club, Wine Camp, and Serving SuperstarsWhy this work has become a movement, not just a businessKey Topics We Explore:Joyful, service-centered leadershipMindset shifts that create clarity and confidenceCommunity, connection, and the power of women supporting womenRebuilding identity after big life or career transitionsGrowing a business at the pace of peaceIf this episode resonates and you’re ready to explore what’s next for you, I’d love to connect.
