Okay friend… this one's for the women building from the inside out.
I got to sit down with Liz Faircloth on The Rooted Founder, and we went deep — not just into business strategy, but the emotional intelligence it takes to build something meaningful without losing yourself.
Liz has built a multi-million dollar real estate company — but what really struck me was her honesty about the inner work. The triggers in partnerships. The identity shifts. The moments where you want to run — and the choice to stay rooted instead.
We talked about what it means to lead with a mirror, not a mask… to build spaces where women feel safe, seen, and supported… and to create success that actually feels like freedom on the inside, not just the outside.
She also shares what's next — including how she's building a new kind of investing space for women that prioritizes connection over competition, community over ego.
It's not just about what we build. It's about how we build — and who we become along the way.
If you're in a season of growth that requires both courage and self-compassion… this one's going to land deep. 🌱
Let me know what resonates. I'd love to hear what you're walking through too.
