Chronicles of the High-Powered Female CEO

The Single Wealthy Woman

“Another valentines day, alone. With the frustrating prospects, I resign to try again next year. 

It feels odd to be surrounded by people all the time and yet feels this alone. 

People have come at me with their solutions to my “problem.” They do not understand. 

They tell me that I am too intimidating. 

They are feeling intimidated, that does not make me intimidating. 

They tell me I am a boss b***.

They do not understand what it has taken to create this edge, this is how I have learned to hold my ground in the boardroom.

• Does anyone understand how this feels?

• Does anyone understand how it feels to have to hide my wealth on the first several dates so that I don’t send him running?

• Does anyone understand how it feels to have to filter how I show up on dates? To deliberately hold back my fullest expression?

• Does anyone understand how badly I desire someone to come in and give me full permission to relax and simply be along for the ride?”

These are the conversations I am here to have.

These are the kind of women I work with.

My Success is Their Threat.

“Yet again, I am reminded that I cannot trust people. I have worked so hard to show up with trust in the universe, but how many friends and family are judging me for my success?

I have actually lost count. 

It’s these little, seemingly harmless comments that cut straight to my heart. 

• “You can’t clean your own house?”

• “Why do you need a nanny?”

• “Do you think your husband feels threatened?”

• “Why do you only care about money?”

I have learned that when a man cares about money, he is a good man, a good father, when a woman cares about the money she is selfish. 

They think I am putting my career before my family, but everything I do in my career is FOR my family. 

I have to convince myself people have my back, otherwise, I am left with the reality that no one does. 

People might wonder why I seem guarded, it's because I have had so many instances where people have stabbed me in the back just at the moment that I let my guard down.

Many women won’t go where I have gone because they are not interested in a target being on their back.

But let's get really real here. Unfortunately, most arrows come from other women.

No one will attack a woman at any point if they actually don’t have that potential and desire within themselves, that hunger for success, a vision, a dream. They can feel their own capacity for it, but they are still afraid to step into it, so it is just easier to judge. 

I am willing to be the one who goes first.”

A Queen on the Throne

“At a certain point, I actually can’t DO more, to create that next-level success.

Every “problem” that has come my way, I face it head-on, I welcome the challenge, I can handle it. I always do. And my team knows it too.

But it feels like something is slipping out from under my feet. It's the law of diminishing returns.

Where I once put in .10 cents and got back a buck 50… I now put in .10 cents and get back .20 cents. Or put in .10 cents and get back .11 cents. Or put in .10 cents and get back .10 cents.

I have hustled my way to 7 figures, I am good at it too.

But lately, I can feel it. It's shifting. And it’s not sustainable.

I see women in their 40s and 50s with adrenal fatigue, I find myself with less energy than I had before too…

Don’t get me wrong, I give 150% every day to my business, but there seems to be less and less of me left for anything else.

My partner planned a beautiful vacation away, and I couldn’t even stay awake to enjoy it.

• What strategy am I missing?

• What tool have I not accessed?

• I hit the mark, but I am left questioning, 'What did it cost me?'”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

The successful women who confide in me wrestle with this.

She doesn't need another strategy, she needs a next-level tool. She needs to employ her Feminine CEO.

It's not about what she is doing, it is about how she approaches her business. It actually is about how she is being. (Annnd she cringes a little bit at this answer....)

• What if her business was working FOR her instead of her working FOR it?

• What if she could sit in excellence on her throne, allowing her team to show up and serve her, rather than her being the driving force behind everything.

Less push, less demands… her business, running on autopilot under her VISION.

Quadrupling her worry-free days...

Gaining substantial ground, doing LESS...

Half the energetic output with double, triple, or even quadruple the results.

Just chew on it a bit, I know it’s a lot to swallow.

So I show her this while showing her how to be the most powerful version of herself and get everything she ever wanted.

Leaving Corporate

In her senior position, she oversaw projects that generated $ 25 - 35 million. But as a woman, being surrounded in a male-only environment, it was difficult to feel included.

She started to change the way she behaved, to fit into their world, to speak their language. Rather than owning her own femininity, and being who she really is… The way she carries herself, the way she speaks, the way she holds herself.

Women in these positions externally, it appears that are female, they are doing the right thing, doing amazing at what is required in their corporate role. But internally, they are very exhausted because they are not living true to themselves.

She realized she needed to find a place where she felt safe and comfortable with what she did and who she was… and you guessed it, she left the corporate world. 

What would you do?
