Success That Feels Good - A Quiet Revolution for Female Founders | EP 480

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 (00:00):
When I first started this podcast in 2020, it was
just me, my mic and a desire toconnect more deeply with my
community.
Fast forward to now and I'veworked with founders, artists,
tech leaders and healersbuilding legacy businesses on
their terms, and in thismini-sode, I'm sharing what I've
learned about building successthat actually feels good,

(00:23):
especially in a world that'sconstantly telling you to do
more, be more and never stop.
If you've ever questioned yourpath but you deeply want to
trust your intuition, you are ingood company.
Hi, welcome to the Connect withSheila Botelho podcast.
I'm committed to helping youreconnect to your purpose,

(00:44):
elevate your wellbeing and buildyour version of a happy,
successful life.
You're listening to a mini-sodewhere I share an insight
designed to help you live intowhat lights you up this week.
Back when I first started thispodcast in 2020, it was really
just an experiment Be amicrophone and a heart full of
ideas I wanted to share with myclients and community.

(01:06):
I craved a space where I couldspeak honestly about what was
unfolding behind the scenesbusiness wins and messes,
relationship lessons and theongoing dance of pursuing a life
that feels like your version ofmore.
And since then, things havegrown in ways I couldn't have
planned.
I've had the honor of workingwith visionary women and

(01:29):
creators across industries,leading movements, building
brands, raising families,launching healing spaces,
writing books, scaling techcompanies and expressing their
art in powerful ways.
And through all of it, onething has become crystal clear
so many of us are craving a newway of living and leading, one

(01:53):
that is rooted in connection, inclarity and self-trust.
Not the push through at allcosts model, not the templated
hustle till you drop version ofsuccess, but something slower,
deeper and more embodied.
And that's what I want to sharewith you today An invitation to

(02:16):
check in with yourself beforeyou check out another strategy.
And so I have a takeaway forthis week.
This is super brief.
Today, it's a question for you,and that is what season am I in
right now?
Are you planting, are yougrowing, are you harvesting or

(02:38):
are you resting?
Each one requires somethingdifferent of you.
If you're planting, it'sobviously a time of going after
new ideas and reallycollaborating to get some
feedback as you do thing andrequiring team, requiring a lot

(03:06):
of moving parts.
And then, of course, theharvesting it can be your
delivery, it can berecalibrating and seeing how
things are going with the nextversion of what you're creating.
And then, of course, resting,the time of reflection, the time
of, while things are now inmotion, taking a step back so
that you can see what you haveplanted and have grown and

(03:29):
harvested, how it's going and ifit's really what you want.
As you move forward, you get toalways be asking this question,
so ask yourself what season am Iin right now?
Your next move doesn't have tomatch someone else's pace or
timeline, it only needs to alignwith your truth.

(03:50):

life and business, I invite youto download my free embodied
