Maybe you feel like everyone else is further ahead.

Their business is bigger.

Their brand is stronger.

Their social media looks better.

They seem to know exactly what they're doing.

And you're sitting there thinking...

“What am I doing wrong?”

You're not behind.

You might simply need space to step back, see the bigger picture and reconnect with where you're going.

That's what Leadership & Legacy Day is about.

Not perfection.

Not pretending you've got it all together.

Progress. Perspective. People. Possibility.

One day.

One room.

One opportunity to look at your business — and yourself — differently.

Because you're not too late.

And your best chapter might still be ahead of you.

In this episode, Christine sits down with relationship therapist and coach Vilma Putt — married to her high-school sweetheart Matt for 31+ years and founder of Laleo Counselling & Coaching.

Vilma shares why lasting relationships come down to intentional choices, not chance: keeping your own self-worth intact, having honest conversations in the hard seasons, and choosing every day to show up as your best self.

We talk about why couples get stuck seeing each other as opponents instead of teammates, why women often fall for a man's potential instead of accepting where he's really at, and how to encourage growth without asking someone to become a different person.

You don't need another motivational quote.

You might need a room full of people who get it.

People who understand what it's like to build a business while trying to figure out your next move.

People who can help you see the gap between where you are...

and where you know you're capable of going.

That's why we created Leadership & Legacy Day.

A day to step out of the business.

Look at the bigger picture.

Get practical ideas around leadership, marketing, visibility, growth and strategy.

And perhaps most importantly...

remember what you're actually building all of this for.

Your business matters.

But so does the woman building it.

People don't follow the loudest person in the room. They follow the calmest one. 🎯

This week's guest is Jon Sheldon, former Marine Infantry squad leader turned leadership coach, and we got into why so many leaders have overcorrected toward empathy at the cost of direction — and what it actually takes to build confidence and presence as a leader.

We also talked about why your vision, not your profit, should be the filter for every decision you make.

In a world full of AI content and fake interactions, real trust gets built in person. 🤝

This week I'm chatting with Jo Spehr, Founder of Empire Events, about what it actually takes to plan a world-class event — from an 800-person Dream Fest to intimate retreats in Bali. We got into the real cost (time, money, emotional energy) behind every event, and why she tells clients to prove their business model for 6 months before they ever book a venue.

If you've ever thought about running an event for your business, this one's for you.

There are some leadership lessons you can learn from a book.

And then there are the ones you only learn by living.

The business that didn't go to plan.
The decision that scared you.
The season that broke you open.
The mistake you wish you could undo.
The moment you had to start again.

Those lessons don't come with a certificate.

They come with experience.

And that's exactly why I created Leadership & Legacy Day.

Because I wanted to create a room where women don't have to pretend they've got it all figured out.

A room where we can talk honestly about business, leadership, life, reinvention, resilience and the lessons we've collected along the way.

Because I believe the next generation doesn't just need to hear how we succeeded.

They need to hear what it took to get there.

And perhaps the most powerful thing we can leave behind isn't a business, a title or a number…

It's the wisdom we pass forward.

So I'm curious…

👇 What's ONE leadership lesson life has taught you that no business book ever could?

You never know who might need to hear your lesson today. ❤️

Your Business. Your Life. Your Legacy.

You don’t build a business separately from your life.

You build it inside your life.

And that changes everything.

Your priorities change.

Your definition of success changes.

Your confidence changes.

Your responsibilities change.

You change.

So shouldn’t the conversations we have about business change too?

Leadership & Legacy Day is for the entrepreneur who wants more than tactics.

It’s for the person behind the business.

The human.

The leader.

The dreamer.

The one who has lived a little.

Lost a little.

Won a little.

And knows there is still so much more to create.

We’re bringing together speakers who don’t just have expertise.

They have stories, experience and wisdom earned through real life.

Because the greatest businesses aren’t just built for success.

They’re built with purpose.

And ultimately…

legacy.

Ever feel like leadership means you're supposed to have all the answers? 🙅‍♀️

On this week's episode, I sat down with leadership coach Shirley Sutton to bust that exact myth. We talked about the real difference between managing and leading, why "cookie-cutter" corporate leadership falls flat, and how to make the "authority shift" the moment you get promoted.

Shirley also shared how understanding your own communication style (hi, DISC) can completely change how your team shows up for you.

🌸 EMPOWERED BY SCENT: DISCOVERING COURAGE THROUGH AROMATHERAPY

Have you ever felt a quiet whisper that simply wouldn't leave you alone? Not loud. Not dramatic. Just a gentle knowing that something needed to change.

For Kay Hamilton, that whisper led her to essential oils — and to a belief she's built her life around since: courage rarely arrives as a giant leap. More often, it begins with one quiet step, one decision, one whispered "yes."

"I trust the whispers of my heart. I choose courage, one step at a time."
