#72: This week, I’m sitting down with Christiana Garza—mom, mentor, co-founder of Her Society, and the kind of woman who’s built a business and a life with both backbone and soul. We’re talking about what it really means to show up for yourself in motherhood, in business, and in the messy middle. From losing her dad at 24 and becoming his caretaker, to moving across the world and facing identity shifts head-on, Christiana brings the kind of honesty that doesn’t just hit—it heals.
Inside the episode, we unpack:
→ What it looks like to stop playing small (and how it shows up in your business)
→ The mindset blocks keeping women stuck (even when things “look successful”)
→ Building a SaaS platform for VAs with heart + strategy
→ Why inner work has to come before the scaling phase
→ Being a mother and a CEO and letting both identities breathe
If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you’re becoming, this one’s for you.
