If you’ve ever looked at another woman and wondered, “What does she know that I don’t?” …this episode is for you.

Because after years of sitting in rooms with powerful founders, industry leaders, investors, creators, and women building extraordinary businesses, I started noticing something:

The most successful women weren’t necessarily the smartest.

They weren’t always the richest.

They weren’t always the most experienced.

But they DID share patterns.

And today, I’m breaking down the five things I’ve seen successful women consistently do—and yes, there’s a quiz involved because apparently we’re bringing back our teenage magazine personality tests… except this one might actually make you money. 😏

In this episode, I’m sharing lessons gathered from years of watching women operate behind closed doors, inside masterminds, private dinners, podcast interviews, and business rooms most people never get access to. And what I discovered surprised me.

I also share a very personal realization I had about friendships, motherhood, professional circles, and why I intentionally chose to spend more time around people who challenge me as an entrepreneur—even when that decision felt uncomfortable.

One of my favorite parts of this episode is the conversation around connections.

Because here’s something I’ve witnessed over and over again:

The women creating the biggest opportunities are not only building relationships with people who are powerful… they’re investing time in people with potential. They become connectors. Builders. Aggregators of possibility. And because of that? Opportunities seem to find them more often.

Throughout the episode, I invite you to score yourself across five categories and calculate where you currently fall.

This episode is NOT about money.

Because success and money are related—but they are not the same thing.

And maybe, just maybe… your success deserves more credit than you’ve been willing to give yourself.

So grab a notebook.

Give yourself a score.

And let’s see what kind of woman you’re becoming.
