The exhaustion comes not from working too hard, but from working without focus.   Sprint-style execution completely flips the script on traditional business planning.

[00:36:27] The importance of women achieving financial independence and success.   Key Takeaways:  Healing trauma unlocks success. Many high-achieving women unknowingly hold themselves back due to past experiences that created deep-seated fears around visibility and success. Trauma isn't just 'big' events. Trauma can stem from experiences that left us feeling shocked, isolated, and powerless - even if they don't seem significant from the outside. The subconscious mind runs the show. While we may consciously want success, our subconscious fears can sabotage us - like avoiding opportunities, procrastinating, or feeling deep discomfort when we try to step up. Women tend to ‘freeze' or ‘fawn' under stress. Instead of fight or flight, many women default to people-pleasing or shutting down, which keeps them stuck in unhealthy patterns. Your next level is waiting - if you're willing to claim it. Success often requires shifting from ‘Why me?' to ‘Why not me?' and confidently stepping into your worth. Once you change your internal narrative, everything else shifts.   Quotes:  “It's certainly something that I think all of us as coaches see, we have clients who come to us and they are so outstanding as individuals. They have this amazing potential, and quite often they have things that are already going really well. But for whatever reason, there are these deep traumas sometimes really holding them back and old narratives that don't serve them, but everything just feels completely tangled up and they can't move forward.” - Jessica Fearnley “We can heal trauma and we can have patterns that have plagued us for decades. You always kind of know that you're destined for great things, and every time it's in front of you, you manage to swerve. But to actually be able to heal those patterns, it changes everything.” - Jessica Fearnley “When the subconscious perceives a threat, whether it be real or perceived, that stress response comes on and then your options are fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. And fawn being people pleasing, which is one of the things that women really, really tend to do.” - Sherry Lukey “What people don't realize is that really a trauma at any level has three ingredients. One is shock, it's sort of like you've been blindsided, something that just totally came out of nowhere, a feeling of isolation and a feeling of powerlessness. And if you have those three ingredients, you end up with trauma.” - Sherry Lukey “People have to break down to break through. And so by you taking that on, you're actually preventing their breakthrough. And it completely turns it on its head to be like, ‘oh, this is a massive disservice to take this on for someone' because you subconsciously and energetically, you're actually saying to them ‘you're not capable of handling this. So I'm going to handle it for you'.” - Sherry Lukey   Useful Links Sherry:  Sherry's website - sherrylukey.com Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Jessica's LinkedIn   Guest Bio Sherry Lukey is an extraordinary executive and life coach who helps successful professionals worldwide unlock their full potential, cultivate meaningful relationships, and create a life of purpose, peace, and presence.

5 Critical Mistakes Successful Fashion Brands Never Make (Do These Instead!) In this powerful episode of The Business of Apparel, Rachel is flipping the usual script. Instead of talking about what you should do to grow a fashion business, we're diving into what mistakes successful apparel brands absolutely avoid. From product development to customer targeting, Rachel walks us through the five most common mistakes that new brands fall into, and how top-performing companies steer clear of them.

Think TikTok is just dancing and viral videos? Prepare to have your perspective completely transformed. In this eye-opening conversation with Jodi Porter, Vertical Director at TikTok, we dive deep into how major industries like automotive, finance, and healthcare are redefining their approach to customer connections in the digital age.With 20 years of experience spanning agencies and digital innovation, Jodi reveals what happens when traditional brands embrace a platform built on speed, culture, and creativity. "Culture happens on TikTok every day," she explains. "When brands regularly show up, not just to advertise but to engage, they naturally become part of this culture." The result? Authentic connections that drive measurable business impact.The conversation explores fascinating transformations happening across industries – financial discussions once limited to living rooms now thrive as educational content, healthcare brands build communities through trusted dialogues, and automotive companies leverage the platform as a dynamic showroom where your next vehicle discovery begins. Behind these cultural shifts is sophisticated strategy, not just viral content. As Jodi notes, "It's less about making a viral video and more about mapping your annual brand strategy to culture in ways that drive results."Whether you're a marketing professional seeking fresh perspectives, someone contemplating a career pivot, or simply curious about TikTok's business impact, this episode delivers valuable insights about leadership, authenticity, and the future of brand-consumer relationships. Jodi's journey from traditional agencies to tech leadership offers a masterclass in career development, with gems like "Don't wait to be ready. Just start showing up like you already belong there" and "Your job isn't to have all the answers, it's to make other people feel safe trying new ones."Ready to understand how culture and commerce collide in today's digital landscape?

"I think one of the biggest things to convey to anybody who wants to start a business is know what you're good at, know what you like, and know what you're not good at, and then outsource that. Because that's going to help get the business to where you wanna go." —Arielle Moody   Ever wonder if you're settling for “good enough” when you could be living—and choosing—so much better? If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the choices you make for your body, your business, or your family, this episode is your permission slip to trust your gut, question the status quo, and demand more from what you put on your skin and into your life. Arielle Moody, a seasoned beauty industry expert and co-founder of Mama Sol, turned her personal quest for safe, effective products into a thriving business that puts wellness and integrity first. Her journey from industry insider to innovative entrepreneur brings a fresh, no-nonsense perspective on why what's inside—both products and people—matters most. Hit play for a candid look at how intentional living, ingredient transparency, self-belief, and values-driven choices shape everything from entrepreneurship and family business to work-life balance, clinical testing, and creating wellness products that truly multitask.   Meet Arielle: While pregnant with her first child, shocked by how many toxic ingredients were lurking in everyday products, and after trying dozens of natural mineral sunscreens, Arielle was determined to create one that 1) didn't make her immediately want to wash her face, and 2) didn't leave a white cast on her skin. Oh, and it needed to be something she looked forward to using daily. No biggie. As Mama Sol's product development whisperer, Arielle has been immersed in the beauty industry her entire adult life. Starting as a beauty sales trainer for Smashbox, Dr. Perricone, and Bite Beauty, then rising to become the head of product development for Skinn Cosmetics and, most recently, the head of sales for a leading cosmetics packaging and formulation company, she's always known one thing—that she would one day create her own product, something truly different that had never been seen before.
