Do you know that feeling when you've outgrown your role, even when everyone else thinks you should be satisfied? When you sense there's something bigger calling you, but you can't quite put your finger on what it is?

That's exactly where my guest Olivia found herself - leading international expansions, closing 175 million euro deals, managing teams across continents. From the outside, it looked like the perfect corporate success story. But inside She knew she was meant for something more.

In this episode:

How becoming a mom can actually sharpen your focus on what truly matters - no more time for BS, as Olivia puts it

Why moving countries with your family is a completely different game than moving as a single person (and the unexpected challenges nobody prepares you for)

The power of looking at struggles as growth opportunities rather than roadblocks

How to build meaningful relationships in your business - because success really comes down to the quality of connections in your life

Why competition between women can actually be our greatest catalyst for growth (if we shift how we think about it)

The journey from serving large corporations to finding your purpose working with women entrepreneurs - and why that pivot changed everything


Key Takeaways for Career-Transitioning Moms:

  • Surrender the Fear and Serve Something Bigger
  • Stop making it about your insecurities and start focusing on how you can serve others. That's where real magic happens.
  • Success comes down to the quality of connections in your life. You don't need many, but make them meaningful.
  • Your Ideal Client Might Surprise You: Don't get too attachedto who you think you should serve. Stay open to who you're actually attracting.
  • Legal Foundation Matters for Online Entrepreneurs: Building an online business requires proper legal groundwork - but it doesn't have to be overwhelming with the right support.
