Startup Energy vs. Seasoned Strategy: Hustle at Every Age

This week on Women Talk Fierce, the ladies get real about how hustle looks different at 25, 45, and 55. From newborns and Instagram DMs to project audits and camper life (yes, cows included), we cover what it means to grow a business in the middle of motherhood, shifting identities, and unexpected life pivots.

We talk about what hustle really means, at different ages, in different seasons, and what we’d go back and tell our younger entrepreneurial selves (hint: probably to ignore Instagram gurus and stop following up with clients who give you the ick).

Also on the menu:

• Why it’s okay to pivot (even if you’re already knee-deep in VA land)

• What actually makes someone a perfect-fit client

• The business advice we wish we’d ignored

• And yes, some truly chaotic true-crime energy at the top of the hour

By the end, you’ll feel less alone, more seen, and probably ready to delete some DMs.

• How hustle evolves in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond

• The moment we stopped caring what people think (and started scaling smarter)

• Why failure isn’t always a cute turning point—it’s just part of the path

• What advice we wish we’d left on read in year one

• The power of saying “no” and building a business that fits your life

Running Down a Dream by Tim Grahl — A behind-the-scenes take on what failure actually looks like in real life (not just in overnight-success Instagram posts).
