She had the brand.
The team. The work.
But no one really knew *who* was behind it all, and growth stalled.
It wasn’t for a lack of vision or talent. She was just doing what most high-capacity founders do: staying behind the scenes, refining the product, and expecting it to speak for her.
But it wasn’t. Because it couldn’t. The company needed a voice. A leader.
Someone to step forward and say: here’s what we’re building and why it matters.
So she did. Not by shouting louder, but by getting clearer. Not by showing up everywhere, but by showing up fully.
That shift didn’t just reshape her business. It reshaped her purpose and the work she’s become known for.
