Seasons, Storms & Stepping Into Your Speaker Leader Era with Stephanie Ross

Seasons, Storms & Stepping Into Your Speaker Leader Era with Stephanie Ross

What if nothing is actually "wrong" with your business? What if you're simply in a different season than you expected? In this conversation with Stephanie Ross, we unpack the natural cycles of entrepreneurship, why storms often come before breakthroughs, and how understanding your season can completely change the way you lead your business. In this episode, we talk about: * Why every business moves through seasons, not just success * The difference between planting, growth, storms, and harvest * What makes a speaker truly transformational, not just informative * How to build a talk that creates lasting impact No matter where you are in your business today, remember this: your current season isn't permanent. Keep planting, keep growing, and trust that even the hardest storms are preparing you for what's next.   Connect with Stephanie: Follow her on IG: @stephanieleaross [https://www.instagram.com/stephanieleaross/] @smallbusiness.sistercircle [https://www.instagram.com/smallbusiness.sistercircle/] and @sisterhoodsoulstrategy  [https://www.instagram.com/sisterhoodsoulstrategy/] Listen to her podcast Sisterhood, Soul, & Strategy [https://open.spotify.com/show/6HqPcdpOTgxnViF7yEr9nI?si=b6ada07301034bf1&nd=1&dlsi=d577752e78d44339] Check out her website for all she is offering right now: https://www.stephanieleaross.com/ [https://www.stephanieleaross.com/]     Resources: Connect on Instagram – @cat.roten [https://www.instagram.com/cat.roten?igsh=eXV6anFpYTIzNDlj&utm_source=qr] Prefer Video?- Checkout our Youtube [https://youtube.com/@imperfectlyimpactful?si=8tWzlkVVoYU0TMem] channel Stay in the Know- https://www.catroten.com/keep-in-touch [https://www.catroten.com/keep-in-touch]

Manifest, Disrupt & Build: A Framework for Getting Unstuck with Becca Mattie

Sometimes the biggest thing standing between where you are and where you want to be isn't strategy, it's the patterns you've been carrying for years. In this episode, I sit down with occupational therapist and founder of Grow Beyond Collective, Becca Mattie, for a conversation about burnout, nervous system regulation, identity, and why sustainable growth starts from the inside out. In this episode, we talk about: * What occupational therapy actually is (and why it's so misunderstood) * The hidden patterns that keep us stuck—even when we know what to do * Becca's Manifest, Disrupt, & Build. framework for creating lasting change Real transformation isn't about doing more. It's about becoming someone who no longer has to fight themselves every step of the way. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or like you're constantly pushing uphill, this conversation might be exactly what you needed.   Connect with Becca: Website [https://grow-beyond-collective.circle.so/gbc-homepage] Instagram: @beccamattie   [https://www.instagram.com/beccamattie/] @growbeyondcollective [https://www.instagram.com/growbeyondcollective/]    Resources: Connect on Instagram – @cat.roten [https://www.instagram.com/cat.roten?igsh=eXV6anFpYTIzNDlj&utm_source=qr] Prefer Video?- Checkout our Youtube [https://youtube.com/@imperfectlyimpactful?si=8tWzlkVVoYU0TMem] channel Stay in the Know- https://www.catroten.com/keep-in-touch [https://www.catroten.com/keep-in-touch]

AI, Motherhood & the Art of Honoring What’s Real with Krista Ripma

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop forcing what's next and start honoring what's here. In this conversation with Krista Ripma, we explore everything from AI and entrepreneurship to motherhood, intuition, and what it really means to trust the season you're in. In this episode, we talk about: * Why AI should support your energy, not replace your creativity * The shift from "using AI" to training AI to work for you * How motherhood teaches surrender, trust, and presence * The power of honoring what's real in your current season instead of fighting it At the end of the day, life isn't asking us to have everything figured out. It's asking us to stay present enough to learn from what's right in front of us. Maybe the season you're in isn't something to rush through. Maybe it's something to trust.

Trust the Timing: The Lull between the Waves

Sometimes the thing you're fighting against is actually the thing preparing you for what's next. In this episode, I'm sharing a very real look at what happened when business slowed down right as life started speeding up and why I've been learning to trust the timing instead of trying to control it. In this episode, I talk about: * Why my recent season of "waiting" turned out to be exactly what I needed * The surfing analogy that completely shifted my perspective * The surprising lesson I've been learning around devotion If you're in a season where things feel delayed, uncertain, or slower than you'd like, this conversation is your reminder that not everything is meant to happen on your timeline. Sometimes the pause is part of the plan.

What My 29th Year Taught Me: Three Lessons & Trust

In this episode, I’m reflecting on my 29th year around the sun. From building a six-figure business… to buying a home… to becoming a mom… this year stretched me, cracked me open, and changed the way I see myself completely. And honestly? Some of the biggest lessons came from the moments I didn’t plan for, the shifts I would’ve never predicted one year ago. I dive into the three biggest lessons from this past year (plus one bonus lesson that’s been hitting hard lately). We talk about: * Why “never” is a dangerous word * Simplifying my business and getting clear on what actually matters * What it means to truly trust the timing of your life * Why I finally started owning the fact that I run two businesses When you dive into personal development, you truly never know how your life will change. This year is proof again. When you do the work, many things can shift…. Slowly or all at one time.
