I’m about to head out for a personal retreat a few hours away in the Sonoran Desert… to dream ‘what’s next’. And it got me thinking about Shonda Rhimes.

Why? 

Shonda achieved almost everything a TV producer could hope for during her long run at ABC. 

She evolved into not only one of the most prolific writer-producers in the business, but also a mogul, as the founder and head of her Shondaland production company.

ABC filled its entire Thursday night lineup with her shows — from ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ to ‘Scandal’ and ‘How to Get Away With Murder’ — but she was… restless.

I know it’s been a bit since I dropped you an update, and there’s so much happening, that it was definitely time!

1. WOW WHAT A MEETING!

First off, we’re still on a high from our Official Fall Meeting of The Trust: my modern, premier network for 7+8-figure women entrepreneurs. And I’m thrilled that so many of the members joined us in person last week. In fact it was our largest member gathering yet! (You can see more pics and stories from our event on the Instagram accounts for both myself and The Trust.)

We ALL left feeling a sense of renewal and clarity to bring our biggest visions to life, and I’m excited to see how this group continues to evolve.

Hello from Newport Beach, CA! I’m here for a few meetings and some time to clear my head before a very busy fall.

I wanted to pop in with an awkward question… 

Have you at times experienced more success than you had imagined?

Even more awkward question: At times… does it feel like even more success than you deserve? 

What a weird concept, right?

But sometimes, for those of us who are natural entrepreneurs and leaders, it can feel that way. 

I know that for me, during the peak of my online business success, I wrestled for years with a heavy secret… 

I quietly felt that while everything was working splendidly, there was a higher level waiting for me personally — one that was going to look much different.

It’s been great to hear all the feedback on my latest episode of Glambition® Radio, titled ‘It’s Time for the Revolution’. Here are just a few of the comments we’ve received on IG regarding the show and this powerful message…

Have you been able to listen to it yet? If not, this coming weekend may be a great time to do so.

This year, as I brought back my annual ICONIC event, I felt strongly called to give it the theme of revolution. And I explain why on this episode.

Remember when we all started our businesses, everything felt fresh and new, and the world was full of only opportunities and excitement? 

Like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally, we just shouted ‘YES, yes, YES!’ 

Doors were opening everywhere. New people and new places.. big ideas and fast action. Things seemed to manifest instantly. It was all so much FUN. And it seemed simpler then too. 

Then, the years went by, and we got deeper into the ‘real’ world of business. We became older, wiser, and went through some rough spots.
