If you’re a founder, you’re probably swimming in advice—coaches, consultants, mentors, LinkedIn posts, podcasts… everyone has an opinion about how you should run your business. But here’s the truth: the wisest voice isn’t out there. It’s in you.

In this episode of Female Founder Unplugged, I’m helping you sort through the noise, trust your intuition, and reconnect with the most powerful advisor you’ll ever have—your inner leader. Because true leadership isn’t about collecting endless strategies. It’s about discernment: knowing which voices to trust and when to let them go.

Episode Highlights:

  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 The difference between a coach, consultant, and mentor (and how to know which one you actually need)
  • ⚡ The signs you’re stuck in a loop and it’s time to seek outside perspective
  • 💡 Simple practices—like journaling, meditation, and reflection prompts—that strengthen your inner leader
  • 🔥 Questions to ask yourself to discern whether advice serves your values, your team, and your vision

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by too many opinions—or doubted your ability to make the “right” call—this episode is your reminder: you already have the wisdom you need.
