Text us! What did you love about this episode?We all say we want growth — but are we truly ready to live into it?In today's minisode, I share a powerful personal story from my early days in wellness and business that mirrors a pattern I still see today: how seasoned entrepreneurs can unknowingly stall their own evolution.You'll learn how to spot the quiet ways you might be waiting for the "perfect moment" — and how to shift into forward motion without needing everything to feel comfortable first.If you're serious about stepping into your next-level vision, today's episode offers the real mindset edge you need to move now, not later.

Text us! What did you love about this episode?You've built something meaningful. You've grown, pivoted, and stretched yourself in ways most people wouldn't understand. But perhaps you've reached a point where even your wins feel weighty.In today's solo episode, I'm sharing the mindset shift that took me from doing everything alone to creating sustainable success through aligned, strategic connection. I open up about a season in my business where I felt stuck—creatively and relationally—and how a surprising move into a new space opened the door to an entirely new level of inspiration, visibility, and ease.Whether you're on the edge of burnout, craving your next breakthrough, or simply wanting to feel more supported as you grow, this is a grounded conversation about letting go of over-functioning, leaning into your intuition, and reimagining what business gets to feel like. You don't need to do more—you need to do what matters, with the right people by your side.

Text us! What did you love about this episode?When I launched this podcast in 2020, it was an intuitive experiment—just me, my mic, and a desire to connect more deeply with the community I love. Fast forward to today, and my work now spans industries—from artists and tech leaders to healers and coaches—all leading with intention and purpose. In this minisode, I'm reflecting on how things have evolved and the one powerful truth that keeps surfacing: sustainable success requires a new pace.If you've ever questioned your direction, felt behind, or noticed the usual strategies just aren't lighting you up anymore, this short but potent episode is your moment to reset. I'm sharing the foundational question I ask every client before making any strategic move: What season are you in right now? Because building a business from burnout isn't a badge of honor—it's a broken model. Your energy is your strategy.You'll walk away with a fresh lens on what success really means—and a tangible, repeatable way to align your next moves with where you are right now. No more pushing through for the sake of appearances. This is about scaling with clarity, connection, and deep self-trust.

Sheila shares a pivotal moment in her entrepreneurial journey when, despite outward success, she felt disconnected from the business she had built.If you've ever found yourself delaying the next step—telling yourself you need more clarity, credentials, or the "perfect" plan—this episode will remind you of something crucial: confidence doesn't come before action. It follows it. Tune in for the steps to start trusting yourself again and creating the business (and life) that actually reflects who you are now.

Today, we're talking about how relationships—romantic, familial, and friendships—impact your ability to scale and sustain a business.The truth? Most female founders I've worked with are first-time entrepreneurs in their families, meaning they're often carving a path that others around them don't fully understand.

An intimate, high-impact group experience designed for ambitious entrepreneurs ready to elevate their business while maintaining alignment with their well-being.Instagram (& all social media): @sheilaabotelho How many times have you heard the phrase “How much do you really need?”—as if wanting more somehow makes you ungrateful? I used to believe that too. I was surrounded by people who subtly encouraged me to stay where I was, even though I knew I was meant for more. And for a while, I let that mindset hold me back. I questioned whether my ambitions were too much or whether I should just be happy with what I had.But here's the truth: Wanting more isn't about greed—it's about growth. It's about recognizing that your potential isn't just for you, but for the people you're meant to serve. When we shrink ourselves to make others comfortable, we don't just limit our own success—we limit the impact we could be having on the world. What if, instead of asking “Can I?”, you started asking “How far can I go?”In this episode, we're breaking down the guilt and conditioning around ambition and replacing it with a mindset that allows you to step fully into your power. Because the world doesn't need you playing small. It needs you showing up fully. Let's talk about what it means to own your ambition, unapologetically.PS: Thanks so much for listening.

And if you've ever felt like you're pushing through deep snow with no clear path ahead, you're not alone.In this episode, I'm sharing a real-life moment that perfectly illustrates what perseverance actually looks like—not the Pinterest quote version, but the part where you question everything, want to turn back, and have to decide whether it's worth pushing forward. We'll talk about why most people quit right before things get good, how to recognize when you're in that moment, and what you can do to stay in the game without burning out.If you're on the edge of wondering whether it's time to keep going or pivot, press play.
